It was awesome and very interesting and informative. Our guide, Ron was the best. He was funny and pointed out good restaurants, as we requested. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was the highlight of our trip- we had teens with us and we all had a great time learning and seeing the history of Fremont St and the beginnings of LV. So fun!

Great tour. I really enjoyed learning about the history of Fremont Street and actually getting inside of some of the casinos and seeing their attractions like the huge gold nugget at the Golden Nugget and the million dollars in cash at Binions Casino. My guide, Jordan, took a great picture of me with my hands on the cash.
