This is an excellent choice to kick off your trip, informing you on what to do and where to visit - saving you both time and finances.
Hi all, I’m Jonathan. After venturing for several months, I’ve crafted the only one-of-a-kind walking tour of the essential locations in the Vegas Strip. Highlights you need to be aware of, hidden treasures, venues even the locals aren’t aware of. I’ve taken out the guesswork, the uninteresting bits, and designed a streamlined small-group walking tour for a hassle-free vacation.
We have a lot on the itinerary!
An undercover speakeasy in a barbershop, concealed tequila bar, clandestine pizza joint, Skybar
Pivotal happy hour venues: surprise drinks, the cheapest beer trio, 2-for-1 bargains, unlimited mimosas, 3-course lunches/ dinner deals, half-priced food & beverages, Affordable gourmet bistro with a Michelin star
Tips on how/ where to enjoy quality food and drinks on a budget
A wild animal refuge with exotic birds, flamingos, a botanical garden, Chandelier bar, world’s largest chocolate fountain
Potential places for photos, vantage points of the strip & water fountain spectacle
In addition, I also organize tours in Fremont & manage a bar crawl
- Bringing kids Under 21? Sure but book morning. We often stop for drinks. This is Vegas and adults on the tour like to do Vegas things. Book morning for a “PG” rated tour
- Mostly Indoors. I operate rain or shine or 110 degrees!
- This is not your typical canned big company walking tour. I won’t have 50 people herding behind me. No flag or microphone lecturing you for 2 hrs about History. It’s small groups, more personal.
- A little bit of everything - sightseeing, history, see bars, find good deals & happy hours, a couple speakeasies, good views, photo spots. It’s about experiencing Vegas and enjoying yourself
- No refunds - I’m like Evel Knievel, I get paid for the attempt!
- Be on time. Like an airplane, I depart on schedule and there’s no turning back.
- Rule #76 - No excuses, play like a champion
- I don’t work for Viator/ Tripadvisor. This is my full-time job. My own tour business. This is how I put food on the table.
- Book mornings for a more “G” rated family-friendly tour.

A worthy walking tour! - Jonathan is an amazing and personable guide. He really showed and told us things that I would not have found on my own, like unique eating spots and background information about the different restaurants, shops, and casinos. It felt like we were walking around the city with a friend. The pace of the tour is laid back and the best part is that Jonathan knows how to move around through the casinos tunnels and bridges keeping up out of the heat except when absolutely necessary. Also, I really got the impression that he really likes his city and you can tell that he spends time getting to really know the spots and that made me want to explore more on my own. There is a lot of walking but you can stop for bathroom and snack breaks. We were a smaller group so that was easier to accommodate. I highly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your stay so that you can revisit some of the spots he highlighted.

A must do!! - Johnathan was the best!! Have your walking shoes on because you’ll need them. It was a great tour of the strip. Johnathan knows all the hot spots and shows hidden speakeasy’s and places you’d never know existed. I did this tour on my last day in town. I can’t wait to go back and try all the restaurants he pointed out.
Great sightseeing tour! You won’t be disappointed.

A relaxed and helpful walking tour of the hotels on the Las Vegas Strip - This is the second time I've explored the Vegas strip with Jonathan. The first time I was filling an afternoon before seeing Taylor Swift in concert. This time I was traveling with a friend from Michigan and we filled an afternoon before seeing Dead & Company at the Sphere.
Both tours were perfect. As was the case last time, Jonathan was on time, and he promptly set the four of us on a walking tour of the hotels, dive bars, speakeasys, and casinos that populate the Las Vegas strip. Jonathan knows his way - and by following him we became insiders, among the few that actually know how to find a rare book store, a $3.00 beer, and a 24-hour Walgreens.
Jonathan is easy to understand, he takes into account our limitations as +60-year olds who want to take pictures everywhere. He also brings to our attention how the Strip has evolved; where it was at the beginning, where it was 20 years ago, where it is today, and where it's heading.
Both times that I've taken the tour the path was pretty much the same, but each time there were differences - this time we saw what Dead & Company was bringing to the Strip at the Venetian (there's a Dead & Co. experience there that was well worth revisiting after our tour with Jonathan ended). He provided excellent recommendations for how to spend our time in Las Vegas, where to find reasonably priced meals and drinks, and gave us a great way to spend half a day awaiting our show.

Great way to start your Las Vegas trip! - I had a great time on this tour. Jonathan knew a lot of great and hidden away spots and had a lot of interesting stories to share along the way. My favorite spots were the Venetian, the gardens at the Flamingo, the botanical gardens at the Bellagio and the counter shops at the Eataly, to name a few. Lots of great suggestions for places to eat. The tour was well worth the price.

Great way to start your trip in Vegas - learned what we wanted to return to see and what to skip after the overview - Jonathan was excellent interacting with a very diverse group. I did an early tour with my teenage son and we both enjoyed it. We saw so many things that even my friends who go to Vegas frequently were amazed that we saw so much! We ran into Jonathan the next day and he remembered us and checked to see how everything was going. If you’re good to WALK and interested in cool stuff on the strip you won’t go wrong with this tour.

Great way to get to know Las Vegas Strip Strip. - Jonathan was an excellent guide. He guided us through the most important spots on the Strip (and some not so important but very interesting ones) while at the same time giving us the right amount of information about the places we visited. I am glad I took the tour and now I feel confident knowing my way around the Strip.

The Best Way to start your trip in Las Vegas - Jonathon was an excellent guide. His tour is the perfect way to start off your trip in Las Vegas. He provided excellent tips on the best way to eat some of the great food in Vegas in an economical way. He also provided interesting facts about Vegas. He showed the best way to walk down the strip without roasting in the sun. After the tour he sent us the names and locations of everywhere that we went. He went above and beyond and provided his contact information in case we had any other questions during our time in Vegas.
