Overview

Forget the polished veneer of the Strip. This is the raw, unadulterated story of how Las Vegas invented itself, destroyed itself, and rose again. On this walking tour, we peel back the layers of 'Glitter Gulch' to reveal a history written in neon, gunpowder, and handshake deals. From the boneyard where iconic signs go to die, to the courtroom where the Feds tried to break the Mob, and the gambling hall where a cowboy murderer invented the World Series of Poker. We will walk the line between the law and the lawless, exploring the tension between the city's gritty past and its tech-fueled future. Join us to discover the real Las Vegas—the one that locals know, the one that Bugsy Siegel touched, and the one that refuses to burn out.
