About this tour

Discover the stories behind the neon on a Las Vegas Historical Walking Tour. In the 1920s, Las Vegas was a dusty town travelers passed through on their way to Southern California. Its transformation into a destination of casinos and glamour is tied to early casino pioneer Thomas Hull and mob figure Bugsy Siegel.

Walk approximately 2 miles (3 kilometers) as your guide brings the city’s past and present into focus. Hear about the mafia era, the people who helped shape Las Vegas, and the rise of its legendary reputation. Bottled water and snacks are provided, and a range of daytime and evening departure times makes it easier to fit the walk into your plans.

Meet beneath the famous Vegas Vic neon sign and explore the history behind the city’s bright lights. Book your Las Vegas Historical Walking Tour to see a different side of the Strip’s storied home.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Las Vegas
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 37% in Las Vegas means it ranks in the top 37% of tours in Las Vegas by this score.
