Overview

Mostly Indoors!

Great for beginning of your trip so later you know where to go!

After months of exploration, I've cut out the guesswork and put together a comprehensive small-group walking tour of some of the must-see spots and hidden gems of the Vegas Strip that you'd might miss if venturing alone. Spots even locals don't know!

It's a lot - from best view points of the Bellagio fountains and the Vegas Strip, to the world's largest chocolate fountain, fine art like Chihuly glass, a 21st Century tree house, rare bookshop from Pawn Stars to the Venice canal with singing gondoliers and hand painted murals in the largest hotel in the U.S!

We'll visit secluded gardens with exotic birds, fish, Flamingos, a bustling Italian market, three-story chandelier bar, where the good food/ drink happy hours deals are like cheap cocktails, beer, water and souvenirs! And my favourite hidden bars, rooftops & speakeasys!

Feel free to grab a drink on the tour, you are in Vegas
I also host a bar-crawl!

Activity itinerary

Las Vegas (Pass by)
This list changes often. This depends on: on events, what's open and closed, there's always new things, changes based on guests interests - i.e. If you want more of a bar-crawl experience, let me know!
Palazzo Resort Casino
  • 15m
Starting at one of the most grand and opulent lobbies in Vegas: we'll walk through a low-key, tranquil, Italian marbled palace-like resort subtly filled with acrylic birds above the lights, and a bronze wishing tree. Well pass by a 125+ year old original gondola built for weddings, Laura Kimpton's 12ft tall and 36 ft wide steel Love sign and a shopping centre filled with happy hours, food and drink deals in a varying degree of restaurant themes such as a British Pub w/ darts and a view of the Strip, a Brazilian, Peruvian & Japanese restaurant bar in an Orange forest and more. You'll also pass by Vegas's largest poker room and a vintage style rare book-shop from the TV show Pawn Stars. It's luxury without the crowds and where the sugar daddy's lurk. Ladies, take note.
The Venetian Las Vegas
  • 20m
A hotel & casino built by a Boston billionaire for his wife after visiting Venice on their honeymoon, it's the largest hotel by room count in the U.S and second largest in the world. We'll walk under Karen Kristen's laser guided spray painted sky ceiling, along a replica of the Grand Canal and through a replica of Venice's, St. Mark's Square filled with Italian restaurants, Cafes and Gelato... and of course... more happy hours and lunch specials! You'll also see an odd mix of shops from an authentic hat store, robotic dog and smart luggage, to the location of a 1923 speakeasy, and Michael Jackson's favourite store to shop in where most of the stuff doesn't have price tags. Lastly, looking up, you'll witness hand painted frescoes, replicas from the Doge's Palace in Venice and an Italian marble lined colonnade featuring a golden Armillary Sphere and a very inconspicuous dark chocolate and coffee shop for my anti-Starbucks crowd and chocolate lovers!
Casino Royale
  • 5m
I love Casino Royale! It's not on anyone's "must-visit" radar... unless you must have a little taste of vintage Vegas or a piece of Fremont Street on the Strip! Built in 1970's and it smells like it. This joint looks like something out of your favourite Vegas mafia film - dark, low-ceiling, smokey. Ot has: cheap slots (and only slots), cheap food like 24hr Denny's which is also the country's highest grossing, 24hr White Castle, three dollar hotdogs and better yet, three dollar beer bottles, five dollar drafts and cheap drinks all-day everyday! And a three dollar atm machine, cheapest on the Strip! They also have a ten million dollar jackpot!
The Piano Bar at Harrah's (Pass by)
Usually I'll walk through Harrah's if it's too hot or cold outside. The casinos run parallel to the Strip which make snice for casino hopping. Harrah's has a great pizza shop, a Gordon Ramsay Kitchen, and a very suspicious cake vending machine. It's a gamblers casino but they have the Piano Bar with Big Elvis and nightly dueling Pianos.
Carnaval Court Las Vegas (Pass by)
An area where those janky "showgirls" lurk in the shadows awaiting unsuspecting sugar daddy's to cruise by and a 70 year old Mexican Minnie Mouse smoking cigarettes and eating cheeseburgers - but there's live music!
The LINQ Casino (Pass by)
The only thing that excites me in the Linq is the Dunkin Donuts and it's connected to Chayo which has $30 all-you-can-drink Mimosas in the morning. There's also Disco Show at night if you want a more interactive Vegas theatre show. It's like Studio 54 on roller-skates.
O'Sheas Pub (Pass by)
The littlest casino on the Vegas Strip and there's really nothing Irish about this place other than the name, the colour green and some shamrocks... and every other American inside drunk staking claims to their 10% Irish heritage and reminiscing about that one time they went to Ireland. Actually, they have an amazing frozen Bailey's so feel free to grab one as we pass by! (No, I'm broke, I'm not buying!) Anyways, usually there's more people in here playing beer pong than actually gambling but it's also the smallest casino on the Strip.
The LINQ Promenade (Pass by)
Attached to the littlest and (and greenest) casino is the Linq Promenade. It has a zipline, largest Observation wheel in the "world" (in operation) and of course the ferris wheel has a bar in it because everything you can do here you can do with alcohol (thank you god!). But the Promenade is a street full of bars and restaurants and great happy-hours. It's like a Vegas version of City centre Disney but with pot, cigarettes and alcohol - some sweat and shame in the summer and unfortunately some crying kids.
Flamingo Wildlife Habitat
  • 15m
Next we'll stumble through the Flamingo, the oldest hotel and casino on the Vegas Strip which just wonderfully got rid of my favourite bar (50 cent beer) in exchange for an out of place Ramsay Burger. The place is fairly pink, two vintage photos, and a little semi-wildlife animal habitat full of black swans (dead), pelicans (one left), and real Chilean Flamingos (down to 7 from 10) among many exotic birds (a couple different species of hummingbirds which are a joy to see but then again, we're in the middle of nowhere so anything that's real, colourful and not drunk is a joy to see), exotic ducks and massively mutant looking Koi fish (American sized). It's a hidden little oasis, in the middle of a casino, quiet, mellow, filled with palm tress and fake grass. Sadly, there's a Carlos & Charlies that does a morning drink special and a 2-4-1 happy hour but it's outside open-air patio overlooks the garden.
Casino at The Cromwell (Pass by)
This is now turning into a Vanderpump hotel but for now it still reminds me of the inside of one of those dine-in Pizza Huts. Best things here are their piano bar and noon-9pm $5 drink deal.
Grand Bazaar Shops
  • 5m
Love the Grand Bazaar Shops at Horseshoe because this where the deals are, great food, well-priced, big portions but quality - and most people walk right by them. There's made-to-order donuts, Nashville Hot chicken, stale pizza just how you like i in the morning, Mexican..ish..., Whalburgers, Mexican hotdogs, 2 mystery shots for $5 and my spot that does buy one get one drinks all day everyday with flare bartenders! A gift shop for you cheap tacky Vegas souvenirs, tall-boys (the beer not the men) and dollar waters! Also a rooftop bar with live music and cowboy accents all day.
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden
  • 15m
A Vegas like "replica" of what Bellagio, Italy would look like if it got drunk and had to build itself on a budget - One of the first luxury resorts in Las Vegas that's famous for being in only one film anyone cane remember, Ocean's 11, but lined with Italian marble, mosaic, high-end retail like not one but two Louie Vuitton's, Michelin chefs and 5-Star dinning options, screaming kids and crying babies and Dale Chihuly's 2,000 piece Fiori di Como designed after flower fields in Lake Como Italy. There's also a "garden" (conservatory) of thousand of real plants, trees, silk floral displays and seasonal designs that change, every season. It's open 24 hrs and doesn't smell like cigarettes, or pot, or sweat and shame. It's beautiful. We'll also view the world's "largest" chocolate fountain (technically second largest, maybe even third now). It's officially amazing but not as amazing as the Christmas store if your here during that time.
The Cosmopolitan Casino
  • 15m
If you like hidden sh*t and speakeasys, or 20 year olds running around drunk and half naked in the summer calling each other "bro" and b*tch" well then, this is the hotel for you! One of the newest hotels on the Strip, it's glitzy, glamoury, has has nothing but goo food and bars... and a 3-story bar encased in a chandelier of 2 million crystals (plastic) surrounding a 40 foot tour of liquor. Depending on timing, what's open, we'll visit or I'll point out a speakeasy behind a 1920's themed barbershop with nightly music, a tequila and nachos bar hiding behind an exit sign, a secret pizza shop and a restaurant behind a "pawn shop".
The Shops At Crystals (Pass by)
Bougie shopping centre that's architecturally amazing, filled with designer shops, art gallery, and very energy efficient. This is where the future of Las Vegas begins. Ultra Luxury. Designed by an American-Polish architect who also did the World Trade Centre in NYC - it's a 21st century park with a 55foot 3-story modern tree house as the centre piece. There's also a Jason Aldean's outside with daily live music and patio views of the strip.
Eataly
  • 5m
If there's time left or you're looking for food close to the end of the tour, Eataly! Based out of Turin, Italy, this is as close to authentic and genuine Italian in Vegas as it gets. It's an indoor Italian market place full of little Italian street-food stalls, restaurant and Italian market with bakery, pastry shop, coffee shop, gelato and wine store! Also, in the back is a Lady Gaga exhibit. The one free thing in Vegas if you're into seeing her meat suit. It's also a none smoking casino.
BrewDog Las Vegas (Pass by)
If time allows and/or you still have some steps left in you - We'll go up to Brewdog. It's a rooftop bar, with an outdoor patio overlooking the Strip. Couches, live music and night, dozens of different beer, full bar, big pizzas and the largest brewery in Europe, from Scotland.
