Las Vegas Arts District Walking Tour

See a creative side of Las Vegas that many visitors miss on this walking tour of the Arts District. Led by Las Vegas native Brian “Paco” Álvarez, a cultural anthropologist and former City of Las Vegas Arts Commissioner, the experience brings local context to the neighborhood’s art and street life.

Visit the world-renowned Arts Factory, home to dozens of artist studios and galleries, and enjoy a special visit with working artists. Along the way, take in notable sculptures including Luis Varela-Rico’s “Radial Symmetry,” Dennis Oppenheim’s “Paint Brushes,” and Jesse Carson Smigel’s “Snow Ball.” Murals, street art, and art-filled alleyways add color throughout the walk, with cafes, restaurants, themed bars, and shops lining Main Street, Commerce Street, and the streets between. There are plenty of spots to pause for photos.
