Must-See Spots: The Original Vegas Strip Walking Tour
Overview
Mostly indoors to avoid heat. All the good stuff is inside.
Hey everyone, I'm Jonathan. I love a good adventure and an ice cold beer. I developed this tour to showcase my favorite must-see spots on the Vegas Strip to those who don't want to waste time and money wondering around aimlessly not knowing where to go and spending $50 on a Pina Colada when right around the corner it could be $7. Places you should see/ know and not miss. Spots even the locals don't know or you might miss if venturing alone.
Some are traditional iconic spots, views, photo spots & some are hidden bars, speakeasies, where the food and drink deals are, happy hours and lunch specials. How to do quality on a budget. This isn't the type of tour where I have a flag, 50 people wearing headsets while I lecture you for 3hrs. Have fun, drink, gamble. You're in Vegas aka Disney for adults. Save that for Rome. If anything is in my hand, it's a beer.
Great for the first day of your trip so later you know where to go!
