Las Vegas Strip Hidden Gems Walking Tour

Come one, come all.
Grab a drink & lets go!

Great walking experience to get a lay of the land & for beginning of your trip, later, you'll know where to go - save time & money. Or just something to do.

Hello, I'm Jonathan & after years of exploration, I've put together the only original walking experience of must-see spots on the Vegas Strip - hidden & iconic gems you shouldn't miss - spots even locals don't know. I've cut out the guesswork, the boring stuff & created a smooth small-group walking tour for a less stressful but personal trip.

We'll see a lot!
Iconic Vegas spots like the Bellagio garden, world-famous fountains, Venetian canals, largest hotel in U.S, Flamingos/ bird habitat in the oldest Strip/mob hotel.

My favorite hidden gems: speakeasy behind barbershop, hidden tequila bar, secret pizza shop & unmarked ski lodge - find best happy hours, food & cheap drink deals - how to do quality on a budget, photo spots, Views of the Strip, insider stuff & more.

Palazzo Resort Casino

3325 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, 89109-1414, Nevada

Walk through a relatively low-key, tranquil, Italian-palace style resorts. We´ll see one of the most grand, oppulent palace-like lobby, crystal statues, and a second-floor stuffed with some of the best happy-hours and unique restaurants on the Vegas Strip!

15 minutes

The Venetian Las Vegas

3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA

A hotel & casino built for the owner's wife, we'll walk through a replica of Venice, Italy and one of the largest hotels in Vegas and the U.S! Beautiful hotel with Italian frescoes, hand-painted murals real Italian-marble.
We'll also visit a relatively unknown second tower that's a great escape from the crowds, one of the most beautiful tranquil lobbys you'll see in Vegas and with a little French Michelin Star restaurant tucked away, hiding in the back. Great place if you want to eat at a world-famous celebrity chef without breaking the bank! Step out of Vegas for a second and be transported to Italy!

15 minutes

The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort

3377 Las Vegas Blvd S, Suite 2600, Las Vegas, 89109-8910, Nevada

Part of the Venetian resort, The Grand Canal Shoppes are a series of shops and restaurants that meander along side a replica of a Venice Canal, filled with gift shops, pastry shops, restaurants with happy hours and lunch specials like 3-course lunch specials for $28, half-price pizza happy hour, $6 beers, $7 wine, $8 cocktails, chocolate shops. We'll pass by the famous Tao nightclub & restaurant (one of the highest grossing restaurants in the U.S) all the while being incased in a shopping mall that makes you feel as if you're in Venice. Great time to grab drinks of coffee while on the tour! Also show you some hidden views of St. Marks Square and spots others don't know about.

15 minutes

Best Western Plus Casino Royale–Center Strip

3411 Las Vegas Blvd S, , Las Vegas, 89109-8955, Nevada

Casino royale is absolutely not on anyone's "must-visit" radar... unless, you'd like to have a little taste of vintage Vegas or a piece of Fremont Street on the Strip! This place looks like something out of your favorite Vegas mafia movie - dark, low-ceiling, smokey, cheap slots (and only slots), cheap food like 24hr Dennys, 24hr White Castle, $3 hotdogs and better yet, $3 beers all-day everyday! And a $3 atm machine, cheapest on the Strip!

5 minutes

The Piano Bar at Harrah's

3475 Las Vegas Blvd S, , Las Vegas, 89109-8922, Nevada

Usually I'll walk through Harrah's to stay out of the weather if it's too hot or cold outside. Harrah's has a cake vending machine, pizza vending machine, it's a gamblers casino but they have the Piano Bar with Big Elvis and nightly dueling Pianos so great spot if you're into Piano Bars.

The LINQ Casino

3535 Las Vegas Blvd S, The LINQ Hotel, Las Vegas, 89109-8921, Nevada

The only thing that excites me in the Linq is the Dunkin Donuts and they have a little casino within the casino called O'Sheas and O'Shea's has an amazing frozen Bailey's so feel free to grab one as we pass by! (No, I'm broke, I'm not buying!)

Pass by without stopping

The LINQ Promenade

3535 Las Vegas Blvd S, Between The LINQ Hotel & Casino and Flamingo Las Vegas, Las Vegas, 89109-8921, Nevada

We'll walk through the Linq Promenade a bit. It has a zipline, Largest Observation wheel in the U.S (Highroller) and it's a street full of bars and restaurants which many do happy-hour. It's like a Vegas version of Downtown Disney but with pot, cigarettes and alcohol. Minimal crying kids.

Pass by without stopping

O'Sheas Pub

3535 Las Vegas Blvd S, The LINQ, Las Vegas, 89109-8921, Nevada

O´Shea's is also the smallest little casino on the Strip. One slot machine, one craps table, one roulette table, they might have more beer-pong tables then card games. But a very lively fun time!

Pass by without stopping

Flamingo Wildlife Habitat

3555 Las Vegas Blvd S, Flamingo Las Vegas, Las Vegas, 89109-8901, Nevada

Next will slither through the Flamingo, the oldest hotel and casino on the Vegas Strip. Very pink, vintage photos, and a little wildlife animal habitat full of black swan, pelicans, and real Chilean Flamingos among exotic birds, ducks and massively mutant looking Koi fish. Quiet, mellow, trees, it's like stepping into a little tropical oasis - in the middle of a casino... but they have Carlos & Charlies! So if you're in a TexMex mood, outdoor bar and patio, $6 drinks in the morning and buy1, get 1, happy hour in the evening!

15 minutes

Casino at The Cromwell

3595 Las Vegas Blvd S, 89109, Las Vegas, 89109-8918, Nevada

Usually if it' too hot or cold, I'll cut through some casinos to stay out of the "elements" which is what I do with Cromwell. Small boutique hotel, looks like one of those old dine-in Pizza Huts but smells like baby powder and regret and shame. Great air conditioning through.

Pass by without stopping

Grand Bazaar Shops

3635 Las Vegas Blvd S, In Front of Bally's Las Vegas, Las Vegas, 89109-4363, Nevada

Love the Grand Bazaar Shops at Horseshoe because this where the deals are and most people walk right by them. Lets just say, low-priced food, snacks, make your own donuts, chicken, BBQ, pizza, Mexican, burgers, gourmet hotdogs, $1 shots, or 2 mystery shots for $5 and my spot that does buy one get one drinks all day everyday! Think two beers for $8 and two cocktails for $17! Oh, and dollar waters!

5 minutes

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden

3600 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, 89109, Nevada

We'll cruise through the Bellagio for a few things:
1. The conservatory. It's low hanging fruit that anyone can see but it changes seasonally and is always worth a stop! 9,000* real plants, smells amazingly fresh and seasonal, visually eye popping displays and better yet, it's something that's not a casino!
2. World's "largest" chocolate fountain. Technically it's not, maybe largest in the U.S but it' still neat to see thins thing.

3. Then I'll show you some good photo spots and vantage points to watch the Bellagio Fountain show, spots that have lesser crowds.

15 minutes

The Cosmopolitan Casino

3708 Las Vegas Blvd S, , Las Vegas, 89109-4309, Nevada

All I'm gonna say here is speakeasys, hidden bars and amazing food options. You'll see when we get there!

15 minutes

The Shops At Crystals

3720 S Las Vegas Blvd, , Las Vegas, 89158, Nevada

Bougie shopping center. Just cutting through. Architecturally amazing, filled with designer shops, art gallery, and very energy efficient. This is where the future of Las Vegas begins. Ultra Luxury.

Pass by without stopping

Casino at Aria Resort

3730 Las Vegas Blvd S, Aria Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, 89158-4300, Nevada

If there's time we'll pass by through Aria. Ijust show people the lobby because they always have awesome seasonal display. Beautiful Lobby and Catch restaurant has one of the coolest entrances for a restaurant.

Pass by without stopping

Waldorf Astoria Spa

3752 Las Vegas Boulevard South, , Las Vegas, 89158-4382, Nevada

Last stop on the tour is the Waldorf. Love this place because it doesn't look like anything else we've seen on the tour, totally different vibe, very quiet, like the Shinning quiet, ultra elegant and has a skybar with a 180 degree scenic view of the Strip. Better yet, no dress code, no reservations. It's easily one of the most relaxing bars and lounges on the Vegas Strip, any day of the week. Also, you never know who's in this place.

15 minutes

Eataly

3770 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA

If there's time left or you're looking for food close to the end of the tour, Eataly! Based out of Turin, Italy, this is as close to authentic and genuine Italian in Vegas as it gets. It's an indoor Italian market place full of little Italian street-food stalls, restaurant and Italian market with bakery, pastry shop, coffee shop, gelato and wine store!
