Itinerary and highlights
Meet at the Plaza Hotel & Casino -
Your adventure begins at the iconic Plaza Hotel & Casino, located at the historic heart of Las Vegas. As the city’s original crossroads, this is where the Vegas story began. From here, your guide will escort you to one of downtown’s longest-running live music clubs. Settle in with your choice of a craft cocktail or beer as your guide shares captivating tales of Las Vegas—from its Wild West roots and Mob-run heyday to the vibrant city it is today.
The Fremont Street Experience -
After your first drink, dive into the electric atmosphere of the Fremont Street Experience. Your guide will take you past Block 16, the original red-light district and bar zone, and through both the newest and most historic casinos on Fremont. Along the way, you’ll see legendary sights like Vegas Vic & Vegas Vickie – the iconic neon cowboy and cowgirl, the World’s Largest Sportsbook, And Viva Vision – the largest video screen in the world, stretching overhead for five full blocks.
Downtown Grand -
Next, venture off the main drag and into the Downtown Grand, home to some of the most affordable table games in Las Vegas. Tucked in the back is a hidden gem—a cozy jazz and blues bar where you’ll enjoy your second drink, choosing from a menu of signature craft cocktails. Just steps away, you’ll get a peek at the Mob Museum, one of the city’s most revered cultural landmarks.
El Cortez Hotel & Casino -
Your third stop is the legendary El Cortez, one of the oldest continuously operating casinos in Las Vegas and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Once owned by infamous mobsters Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, the El Cortez oozes vintage Vegas charm. Inside, you’ll enjoy a cocktail at a retro-style bar that perfectly captures the spirit of old-school Sin City.
Downtown Container Park -
To cap off your happy hour journey, your guide will lead you to the innovative Downtown Container Park, a 20,000-square-foot open-air shopping and entertainment complex built from repurposed shipping containers. It’s a lively, modern twist on the Fremont Street experience—and the perfect place to wrap up the evening.
