Discover hidden gems like a segment of the Berlin Wall tucked away in a men's room, or 1850s chandeliers sourced from the San Francisco Opera House. Traverse the iconic Fremont Street, steeped in literary, cinematic, and televised fame, including tales of Dean Martin's Rat Pack haunts. Learn about the transformative impact of the Fremont Street Experience light canopy, which reshaped downtown in the mid-1990s and catalyzed ongoing urban renewal efforts.

Pass by legendary landmarks such as The Plaza, Golden Gate, and Golden Nugget, while capturing snapshots of Vegas Vic and witnessing daredevils soaring above on the Slotzilla zip line. Explore Neonopolis, home to restored vintage neon signs and the quirky wedding chapel, and perhaps even greet Pawn Stars' expert appraiser Johnny at the Toy Shack.

Venture into the rejuvenated Fremont East, hailed as a global model of community and urban renewal. Here, eclectic dining spots, boutiques, clubs, and entertainment venues await, with insights into why it's dubbed the next Silicon Valley.

Step into history at the El Cortez and experience the innovative Container Park, showcasing a blend of shopping, dining, and entertainment within repurposed shipping containers.

Opt for the 'Pawn Stop' Extra to extend your tour by 30 minutes (.7 miles), delving deeper into the city's narrative with visits to historic chapels—among them, one famously tied to Elvis Presley—and concluding at the renowned Gold & Silver Pawn, immortalized by the hit TV show Pawn Stars.
