How to Tour the Las Vegas Strip

Some of the best ways to see and experience the wonders of The Strip are through a tour. Sin City’s glitz and glamor can be quite overwhelming, especially for first-timers (unless your sole aim is to hit the slot machines!). Things get much simpler when you hand over the reins to someone else—a welcome break even for seasoned Vegas veterans!

One of the best ways to experience the city’s rich culture, history, and wealth of attractions is to take a guided tour around The Strip, where you’ll find most of Sin City’s iconic structures and spots.

These tours cover the highlights and give you enough information about the sights they don’t cover, giving you a strong base to go exploring on your own. If you have an upcoming trip to Vegas and are wondering how to tour the Las Vegas Strip, here are some of the best tour options.

How to Tour the Las Vegas Strip: The Best Tours Options

My first few times in Vegas, I went in with nothing but a map and Yelp reviews to guide me to the best the Strip has to offer. While this has its own beauty, guided tours are hands down the best way to see the highlights of the Vegas Strip (as I would learn in my subsequent trips), especially if you’re short on both time and cash.

Here are some of the best Las Vegas Strip tours that I recommend.

Big Bus Las Vegas Open Top Night Tour

Lets face it, there is a lot to see while visiting Las Vegas. There’s no doubt that as magical as The Strip is during the day, it’s a whole other wonderland once dusk falls. Glitzy neon lights, erupting volcanoes, dancing fountains and busy casinos bring The Strip to life after dark.

The Big Bus tours will take you along The Strip, where you’ll see the impressive MGM Grand, the fountains at Bellagio, and the grandeur of Caesars Palace, and lets you hop off at Fremont Street for the world-famous Fremont Street Experience, a 24-hour walkway brimming with casinos, great dining joints, and free entertainment.

I took the Standard Tour that’s on the offer, and while I’m someone who can easily walk The Strip and enjoy its sights (something I prefer, too), I was able to see way more on this tour than I would on foot.

The Original Foodie Tour on the Las Vegas Strip

If you’re anything like me, you’d rather eat your way through a city and learn its rich culture than stick to conventional sightseeing!

This was a tour I happily signed up for without hesitation, Vegas’s burgeoning food scene is quickly placing it among the top culinary destinations in the country, and even otherwise, I love my food (maybe even a little excessively, but that’s a story for another time!).

This walking tour combines delectable food and sightseeing, with a local guide taking you through several of the most-loved local eateries and fine-dining destinations. This tour is accompanied by fun history and facts provided by your guide, letting your food take on a deeper meaning in some cases.

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The tour starts at Grand Bazaar and is limited to groups of 12, which is extremely convenient. Our tour guide was excellent and highly knowledgeable—not only did I walk away with a happy tummy but also picked up some great insider tips on the best watering holes and joints to hit later!

The tour takes roughly about three hours, including bathroom breaks, leisurely walking, ample time at each venue, and sightseeing must-see attractions on the way.

Las Vegas Club or Pool Crawl Experience

This fun tour is a great way to channel your inner celebrity party animal, with VIP access to three of Sin City’s hottest clubs. The party continues on the streets as you take a luxury party bus to each venue, ably helped by the fun tour host and the unlimited mixers, ice, and cups.

The crawl is available both as a daytime pool crawl or a nighttime club excursion and the price includes the cover charge and expedited access at each venue. You have your choice of the three venues.

Las Vegas Strip Helicopter Night Flight

Beholding The Strip from the air is an unparalleled experience that is a must on any bucket list and is easily one of the best tours of the Las Vegas Strip. You can choose from several departure times available throughout the evening and also opt for hotel pickup and drop-off.

Throughout the ride, the pilot (who was extremely professional yet friendly and very knowledgeable) shared fun stories and facts about Vegas while drawing our attention to some of Sin City’s most glamorous sights.

Whether you want to simply see Vegas from the air or have one of the most memorable romantic experiences of your life, this trip is a must experience.

Final Thoughts

If you were wondering how to tour the Las Vegas Strip, I hope I’ve been able to answer you satisfactorily! I’ve been lucky enough to have amazing experiences on most of my tours.

Other Things To Do in Las Vegas That Aren't on the Strip

Want to explore further? Las Vegas has many other activities and things to do. Downtown Las Vegas is less than 15 minutes from the Strip and where it all began, long before the Strip this was Las Vegas! The new Circa Resort and Casino is the latest development here, but also do not miss the Neon Museum, home to retired iconic Las Vegas neon signs, the Mob Museum, featuring the history of the Mob and home to a speakeasy. Fremont Street Experience with its covered video screen canopy and Slotzilla zipline are not to be missed, and don’t forget the Container Park and its many dining options.

Las Vegas is also a gateway to many beautiful National Parks. Take a short airplane journey or helicopter flight to Grand Canyon National Park, choose from a Las Vegas sightseeing flight to Grand Canyon West Rim and land at the bottom of the Canyon next to the Colorado River, or take a sightseeing flight to Grand Canyon South Rim and explore Grand Canyon National Park by Hummer Tour. Spectacular Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, located in Page, Arizona, are also a short sightseeing flight away.

93 Fun Things to Do on the Las Vegas Strip – The Ultimate Bucket List

The non-stop party of all parties; the Entertainment Capital of the World, and the very aptly-nicknamed Sin City (it’ll make sense when you get there), Las Vegas has been a magnet for drinks, debauchery, and dice games since the early 1900s.

Evolving from its mobster roots, this isolated city in the Mojave Desert has grown over the decades; as it’s welcomed more casinos, more thrill-seeking tourists, and more big-name brands and entertainers, its reputation has grown in sync — and boy, what a reputation!

But beyond its casinos — of which, there are many, with no shortage of theatres, shows (including 21+ shows), brilliant museums ,  fun tourist attractions , celebrity-run restaurants, and pool decks — there’s a ton of other things to do on the Las Vegas Strip !

So whether you’re traveling solo, with buddies for a thirsty getaway, with your better half in search of a little romance, or with the kids for a much-needed dose of family fun (there’s plenty of this here too, don’t you worry), this entertainment mecca has got you covered.

How this article works: we’ll start from the Fabulous Las Vegas Sign and then make our way north up the Strip toward historic Fremont Street. While a few activities are technically just off the Strip , they deserved a mention.

Ready? Sing Vivaaa Las Vegas and let’s jump into it!

1 – Snap a selfie in front of the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign

There’s no mistaking where you are when you see the iconic neon Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign.

A quintessential photo opportunity for any visitor, this 25-foot tall sign stands proud at the south end of The Strip (technically, and ironically, outside of the city limits), and is often the first point of call for snap-happy tourists making their way into Sin City.

By day, you’ll find all kinds of costumed Elvis impersonators and whimsical characters ready for a photo op; by night, the sign lights up in vibrant colors for a fresh perspective on the 1950s landmark.

2 – Button-mash at the Pinball Hall of Fame

A retro gaming paradise, this southern-Strip museum is home to more than 200 classic pinball machines and video games — from Donkey Kong to Dr. Who, Wheel of Fortune, Pacman, and everything in between — from the 1960s through the 1990s and beyond.

Where the nostalgia flows and the neon runs hot, this 25,000-square-foot space of button-mashing, lever-flipping fun earns its stripes as the world’s largest display of working pinball machines, and with cheap snacks and playable games to boot, it’s a must-visit for any gamer enthusiast.

Admission is free and the snacks are cheap, just be sure to pack a few quarters if you want to attempt a new high score.

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino

One of the first luxury resorts – and a spectacular one, no doubt – that you see as you arrive from the southern end of Las Vegas, the 3600-room Mandalay Bay dazzles visitors with a vast selection of luxury amenities and diverse activities.

Boasting a three-pronged distinct hotel tower, an 11-acre tropical pool (these guys know how to throw one serious pool party), an enviable aquarium that plays host to no less than a dozen types of sharks, and some of the best restaurants in town (including Charlie Palmer’s acclaimed Aureole), Mandalay Bay is also home to one of the city’s most popular casinos, complete with all the classic table games and slots.

Throw in a 12,000-seat concert venue that regularly welcomes traveling pop superstars and it’s easy to see why this resort is one of the most popular in town.

3 – Wander around the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas

Enchanting and romantic, the meticulously decorated Venetian is one of the most iconic resorts on The Strip — even before stepping inside, as the gondolas circle the canals in the courtyard, it’s easy to see why.

Having just undergone a renovation in 2021, the two-acre oasis embodies the spirit of the Italian Riviera, with on-site bars serving up refreshing cocktails, regular live music, and an overall atmosphere of pure bliss.

59 – Admire the elegant décor on a Venetian gondola ride

One of the quintessential things to do on the Las Vegas Strip (especially for all you romantics), a Venetian gondola ride , albeit touristy, is charming and definitely takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Sin City for a bit.

The Venetian’s canals are man-made, so they’re not exactly the real deal, but that doesn’t make them any less enchanting as you glide under bridges and past restaurants, shops, and bars in your very own gondola (with singing gondolier to boot!).

Hot tip: penny pinchers, if you plan on doing a few of the Strip’s main activities, grab a combo ticket that gives discounted access to both the gondola ride and Madame Tussauds.

60 – Eat and party at Tao Asian Bistro and Nightclub

Tucked away inside the Venitian, at the feet of a 20-foot Buddha statue, Tao has been a luxury, revered celebrity-frequented restaurant for decades, serving up unrivaled meals that transport you to the Pacific Rim with every bite.

Tantalizing meals aside, the candlelight and decorations create an incredible atmosphere that steals the show: throughout the two main rooms (where you’ll also find three full-service bars) are koi ponds, silk draperies, and century-old stones.

And, as you might expect from the name, after the meals are done and dusted, Tao transforms into a high-energy, alcohol-fueled nightclub, one that’s become one of the most popular on the Strip.

61 – Chill out at the minus5º Ice Experience

The Venetian is home to (excuse the pun) one of the coolest things to do on the Las Vegas Strip: the winter wonderland that is the minus5° Ice Experience .

As the moniker suggests, this attraction takes you into a chilly wonderland made entirely of ice, where you can enjoy cocktails and mocktails while lounging on ice furniture, taking selfies with glaciers, and generally having an amazing vacay experience.

To top it all off, there’s a ‘chill out’ room with loungers for you to just relax and unwind in sub-zero temperatures!

Get ready to be dazzled by The Venetian’s Sphere , a newcomer to Sin City and a record-breaker as the world’s largest spherical structure. Towering at 366 feet and stretching 516 feet wide, this high-tech wonder is more than just an architectural feat.

Its exterior, a massive projection screen, comes alive with vibrant LED displays – from hypnotic blinking eyes to seasonal delights like Halloween pumpkins. Step inside, and you’re in for an entertainment extravaganza.

The Sphere hosts concerts by legendary bands like U2 and offers unique experiences, such as the robot-led Sphere Experience, making it a must-visit on your Vegas adventure.

The Mirage Hotel & Casino

Since opening its doors in 1989, the Mirage has — thanks to endless entertainment and a conscious focus on elegance and style — crafted a now-longstanding reputation as one of the finer mega-resorts to hit the Las Vegas Strip.

Sitting on the western side of The Strip, opposite the Venetian, the Mirage delivers an exciting roster of live shows and offers guests plenty of choices when it comes to food (hint: check out Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak), drink, nightlife, poolside relaxation, and family-friendly activities too.

And, of course, if you’re looking to test your luck, across the casino floor you’ll find everything from high-stakes table games to $2 roulette, with colorfully themed slot machines dotting every space in between.

Still craving magic? Then grab a seat for Shin Lim’s LIMITLESS show — the only person to win “America’s Got Talent” twice with baffling magic tricks and a whole lot of showmanship, never does a guest leave disappointed.

Treasure Island Hotel and Casino

The hypnotic bungee act regularly dazzles onlookers, while the giant baby always provides plenty of laughs!

Wynn Las Vegas

The biggest casino in Vegas is also one of the most luxurious; the combined gaming floors of Encore and Wynn are made up of over 1,800 slot games and 180 table games, creating a wonderful and opulent atmosphere.

And with 5-star touches in every direction, that atmosphere is echoed through the suites, restaurants, bars, and long list of on-site activities.

Great for foodies, the Wynn is home to some of the best restaurants in town, as well as one of the busiest nightclubs: XS Nightclub which sees DJs such as Alesso, David Guetta, and Tiesto regularly spin.

If you’re looking for a more low-key evening out there are plenty of other places to enjoy a drink or two inside the resort too (the intimate setting of Parasol Up/Down is a great spot to start).

66 – Choose from one of the many live Wynn shows

Consider yourself a rock-n-roll diehard? Or are you more of a country fan? What about comedy? Regardless of your flavor, the Wynn and Encore have you covered with their broad range of live shows , sure to please everyone in the family.

67 – Get wet and wild at the Encore Beach Club

If you’re looking to cool off, the Wynn and Encore have several luxurious pool areas for guests to choose from. And while there’s no shortage of quiet relaxation spots, if it’s a party you’re after, look no further than Encore Beach Club .

The pro staff there are more than happy to teach you everything they know, from the basics of grip and stance to how to read greens and correct your swing. It’s no wonder that this place is one of the busiest in town!

The Adventuredome Theme Park is perfect for families with kids (or kids at heart), while the casino offers everything from table games to slots to high-stakes poker. And don’t forget about the nightly circus shows — they’re a free experience you won’t find anywhere else in town.

It’s located on the northern side of the Strip, which is a little further to the action; however, visitors often appreciate the family-friendly resort for this exact reason, offering a slice of (relative) peace and quiet.

A theme park… inside a casino? Believe it, because that’s exactly what you’ll find at Circus Circus. The Adventuredome is a massive (and we mean massive) indoor theme park with something for everyone in the family.

The STRAT Hotel, Casino & SkyPod

Formerly known as the Stratosphere, the recently-renamed Strat is about two things above all else: food and adventure.

It’s home to a chic and sophisticated casino; an incredible 8th-floor pool deck; a rotating restaurant on the 106th floor; suites that are as luxurious as they come; and even a SkyPod, which offers panoramic views of Vegas from 1,000 feet in the air!

While isolated from the rest of the Strip, there’s more than enough excitement at The STRAT Hotel Casino & SkyPod that you’ll never want to leave anyway.

75 – Soak in the view from the STRAT’s SkyPod Observation Deck

Serving up unbeatable panoramic views of Sin City and the desolate Mojave beyond, from atop what is officially the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States, The SkyPod Observation Deck is one of the non-negotiable things to do on the Las Vegas Strip.

Located on top of the hotel, at 1,149 feet, the SkyPod is where you’ll find the Top of the World revolving restaurant, as well as the aforementioned observation deck.

It’s open from morning ’til night (although is recommended to arrive about an hour before sunset), and there’s no better place to take in a bird’s eye view of all that Las Vegas has to offer — made all the better with a drink at the city’s highest bar, 107 SkyLounge.

76 – Conquer the thrill rides at The STRAT (if you dare…)

Thrill being an understatement for the heart-stopping excitement on show, these sky-high rides are not for the faint of heart.

If you’re in the market for a white-knuckle experience that will have your blood pumping and your screams ringing out across the Strip, The Strat is home to three  thrill rides guaranteed to do just that: Insanity, X-Scream, and Big Shot.

Insanely popular (and for good reason!), Insanity is a mechanical beast 900 feet above the bitumen below that flips you upside-down and all around, 64 feet past the edge of the Observation Deck area with stomach-churning three G-force.

The X-Scream — like a roller coaster without any track to follow — stops suddenly and dangles you 866 feet above the ground, while Big Shot flings riders nearly 160 feet skywards at 45 miles per hour on the very top of the building’s spire.

77 – Take the ultimate leap of faith at the Skyjump

No ride in Nevada will give you a bigger rush than the Strat’s SkyJump .

Boasting the world’s highest freefall at “just” 108 stories high, some 829 feet above the neon Strip, there are few things on this planet that will get your heart pounding quite like leaping from one of Las Vegas’s most iconic buildings.

After a safety briefing, you’ll strap into an abseil device and plummet to the ground (well, to a platform, technically) at around 40 miles per hour. It’s officially the world’s highest commercial decelerator descent, and it’s sure to induce plenty of screams.

So, have you got what it takes?

78 – Take a seat for a night of entertainment at The STRAT

Offering a little something for everyone, these nightly spectaculars are the perfect way to cap off an evening of sightseeing and thrill rides.

While the lineup tends to change slightly every few months, depending on which artists have residencies at the on-site STRAT Theater , a medium-sized venue that can accommodate rock stars, raunchy comedians, riveting magic shows, and everything in between.

Over the years, names like Sammy Hagar, Cheap Trick, Xavier Mortimer (the most followed magician in Sin City), and Illuminate — what’s been dubbed “Best New Act in America” by America’s Got Talent — have taken center stage, so you can be sure to find something you’ll absolutely love.

Consider popping into Vegas’ branch of the LA Comedy Club, by which a range of side-splitting stand up routines are performed at the intimate 160-seat Dragon Room.

79 – Scratch the supernatural itch at Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum

No trip to Sin City is complete without a visit to the city’s most haunted attraction, and that honor goes to Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum .

Owner and star of Ghost Adventures (one of the world’s most popular paranormal shows on the Travel Channel), Bagans has turned his passion for all things spooky into one of the must-see attractions in Las Vegas.

Taking place in a spooky 1938 mansion full of dimly-lit corners and creaky stairs, housing dozens of cursed objects and being the sight of genuine ghost sightings, the Haunted Museum is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

80 – Find hidden treasures at the world-famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop

While you’re in the mood for taking your chances, why not take a trip to Vegas’ famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and see if you have any luck finding a hidden gem (or selling an old antique)?

Home of History Channel’s wildly successful show ‘Pawn Stars’, the shop has become one of America’s favorite tourist attractions. Visiting fans flock from all over the world to try their hand at haggling with the Harrison family, who have been running the shop since 1989.

What started as a small mom-and-pop store has turned into a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week tourist magnet, with thousands of visitors walking through its doors each day to get a glimpse of the reality TV action and rifle through the treasure trove of goodies.

Fremont Street

Found in the historic downtown part of the city, away from the majority of the modern and extravagant casinos, Fremont Street is classic Vegas to a tee.

Despite requiring a short cab or shuttle ride if you’re staying at the southern end of The Strip, thanks to its history, vintage casinos, and diverse attractions, it sits high atop many a bucket list.

Normally buzzing with activity from dusk till dawn, visitors flock to this five-block stretch of bars and casinos in search of cheap drinks and loose slots but are quickly swept up by the live entertainment, souvenir shops, thrill rides, and one-of-a-kind restaurants.

81 – Be awed by the remarkable Fremont Street light show

By day, this Downtown tourist hub is never dull; however, a visit to the renowned Fremont Street Experience is a must-do to fully experience Las Vegas at night , when the neon dial is turned up to 11 and the free nightly Viva Vision light shows dazzle.

With more than 16.4 million pixels perched 90 feet above Las Vegas’ most historic street, the screen stretches a whopping 1,375 feet long and is over 90 feet wide, creating a digital canvas that captivates and awes viewers again and again. Accompanied by recorded music from top artists like The Killers or Tiesto, the overhead display is a delight for the senses.

Starting from 6pm nightly until 2am, the show runs at the top of the hour, every hour.

82 – Conquer Fremont Street’s SlotZilla Zipline

Speaking of the Fremont Street Experience, if you’re looking for an adrenaline rush to cap off your day in Vegas, look no further than SlotZilla .

A 77-feet high zipline that starts at the top of the street and ends in the heart of the pedestrian walkway, this blood-pumping ride is sure to delight.

Hold on tight; as you zoom through the air at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour, you’ll get a unique view of the bright lights, street performers, tourist hordes, and neon-lit casinos below as you fly your way down 850 feet of line!

And, if that’s not enough to entice your inner thrill-seeker, opt for the next level up: the 114-feet-high Zoomline, which sends you hurtling down above the pedestrian walkway, head-first like a superhero, for a whopping 1,700 feet.

And when it’s time to hit the town, you’re just steps away from some of the best casinos and nightlife that Downtown Las Vegas has to offer.

83 – Watch sport by day, party at night at Stadium Swim

The most popular of the recent lavish hotel pools to be created in recent years, Circa’s Stadium Swim is six pools and a 40-foot HD screen of pure excitement.

While, most of the time, the atmosphere remains low-key, often projecting live sport onto the giant screen, the pool turns into an all-out drinkin’ and dancin’ and splashin’ party for the ages during marquee events such as the Super Bowl or March Madness (or on a regular Saturday night).

With a capacity for up to 4,000 people, it’s not hard to see why this is one of the busiest pools in town; be sure to get there early if you want to snag a spot on one of the daybeds.

84 – Bet on your favorite team at the Circa’s Sportsbook

85 – Stop by The Tank at Golden Nugget

As you walk around the casino floor of The Golden Nugget, you’re sure to see a few things that are unique to this establishment. But one of the most eye-catching is, without doubt, “ The Tank “.

A massive 200,000-gallon aquarium filled with exotic fish and five species of sharks, it’s hard not to stop and stare at the mesmerizing sight.

But rather than admire by afar, why not join them in the water (separate water, technically, but it’s still a special experience!).

Slingshot down the 30-foot waterslide, swim under the waterfalls, or sit back and relax in one of the in-pool chairs as you admire the marine life.

Even if you don’t feel like getting wet, it’s still worth taking a few minutes to check out the impressive display.

86 – Discover the dark side of Vegas at The Mob Museum

If Resorts World seems like too much of a walk from Wynn, just grab a rideshare or taxi . It’s not far and the cost won’t be much.

A Note About Walking Distances on The Las Vegas Strip

While the total walking distance of the Las Vegas Strip may only be 4.2 miles or so end to end, by the time you’ve stopped and walked through all the various properties and attractions along the way you will have walked probably close to ten times that distance!

The hotels and casinos on the Strip are gigantic properties and you will likely find yourself walking a number of miles while exploring a single property.

In addition, the distances between hotels and casinos can prove deceptive. For instance, when looking at a map, the Luxor and Caesars Palace may look quite close together, but in truth, the two properties are almost two miles apart.

It will take approximately 37 minutes to cover that distance if you’re not stopping for any reason.

Of course, stopping to check stuff out and have fun is the whole reason you’re visiting Vegas in the first place. So covering that distance may take you all day.

So my advice to you is to pace yourself. The great thing about the Strip walking tour I’ve laid out above is that you can break it down into sections. You can cover the section of the Strip that you’re up for that day and leave the rest for another time.

In addition, you can begin your walk at any point along Las Vegas Boulevard and use this guide to visit the places nearby that you’re interested in.

Las Vegas Strip Walking Tips

Whether you choose to walk the entire Las Vegas Strip or just catch a rideshare to the area you want to be in, you will likely be doing more walking than you do in your normal day-to-day life. In addition, Las Vegas can present some walking challenges that you might not have to deal with at home.

Below, I’ve laid out some Las Vegas Strip walking tips that should prove beneficial:

• Wear comfortable walking shoes – I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen ladies hobbling up and down the Strip while wearing high-heal shoes or guys trying to walk miles in flip-flops. Save the high-heels for the clubs and the flip-flops for the pools. Be sure to pack a pair of comfortable and broken-in walking shoes for walking along Las Vegas Blvd.
• When it’s hot, walk at night – I shouldn’t have to tell you it can get really hot in Las Vegas for a good chunk of the year. While you may be expecting the hot weather, until you’ve experienced it yourself you can’t possibly know what it’s like. Daytime temperatures from 100°F to 115°F (38°C to 46°C) are not uncommon. If you’re wanting to walk the Strip when the weather is like this, do it at night. While nighttime temperatures are still very hot, at least you’re not in the sun.
• Drink plenty of water – Whether it’s hot outside or not always try to stay hydrated when you’re walking in Vegas. The air in Las Vegas is extremely dry compared to just about any other place on the planet. So even if it’s on the cool side you will want to be drinking water. This goes double if you’ve been drinking adult beverages during your outing! Also, here are some ways to keep your skin moisturized while in Vegas.
• Wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen – The sun here is intense. That’s true even when the weather’s cool outside. It can be 60°F outside, and you can still get a wicked sunburn if you’re not careful. A hat, sunglasses, and a liberal application of sunscreen should be a requirement if you plan on spending much time walking along the Strip.

4 Ways to Avoid Some Walking in Las Vegas

If this much walking sounds exhausting to you, take heart. There are ways to get around Las Vegas without a car that can cut out a significant portion of the walking.

• Hop on Hop Off Bus – The Hop on Hop Off Bus is an open-top, double-decker bus that runs up and down the Strip and to downtown. The bus will stop at or near most of the destinations on the walking tour guide without you having to walk the in-between sections. You can purchase a ticket for the day and hop off the bus wherever you want and jump back on again when you’re ready.
• Duece Bus – Alternatively, you can ride the Deuce (city bus) up and down the Strip for a very low cost. There are many stops along the Strip and into downtown that are sure to help save your feet.
• Uber & Lyft – There are plenty of available and affordable (usually) rideshare services in Las Vegas. Find out how much Uber and Lyft cost in Las Vegas .
• Fly Over The Strip – Finally, if you’re not into walking at all or just want an amazing tour of the Strip from above, you can book a Las Vegas Strip sunset helicopter tour .

Final Thoughts

Taking a self-guided walking tour of the Las Vegas Strip is something every visitor to Vegas should do. Use the information in this guide and the Vegas Strip walking map in this article to plan your adventure.

Be sure to bring comfortable shoes, and enjoy the experience. After all, you only live once, and Las Vegas is the town to live it up!

1. Las Vegas Helicopter Night Flight with Optional VIP Transportation

⭐ RATING: 4.5 out of 5 Stars (3700+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 2 hours | 🏙 FLIGHT TIME: 10-12 minutes | 🚁 BOOK NOW

When booking a tour, no matter what tour it is or where in the world it is, I like to go with the tried and tested option. Las Vegas Helicopter Night Flight with Optional VIP Transportation is definitely tried and tested.

No one wants to book a tour with no reviews, right? Thousands of people have taken this tour before and the rating speaks for itself. People don’t leave positive reviews for no reason. In fact, people are less likely to review a positive experience than a negative one. So to have nearly 4000 ratings and a score of 4.5/5 is a testament to how great this tour really is.

The tour begins with an optional dinner (for an additional price) at either Bonefish Grill or Pampas Brazilian Grille. Two of the nicest restaurants in Las Vegas, in my opinion. Dinner reservations will be set for 6 pm and the included meals are absolutely delicious, and actually pretty decent value for money.

Top Tip: If you’re more partial to fish and seafood, go with Bonefish Grill. On the other hand, Pampas offers authentic South American cuisine. It’s a tough choice!

After dinner, it’s time to lift off! Your helicopter pilot will fly you over the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. You’ll get views of the Bellagio Fountains, the towering Stratosphere, the Fremont Street Experience, and all the rest!

What I love about the Strip is that there’s always another thing coming. You think you’ve spotted all the sights then boom, there’s Caesars Palace. Being at night only adds to the atmosphere. Seeing the Strip lit up is a beautiful sight.

Las Vegas Helicopter Night Flight with Optional VIP Transportation is top-notch when it comes to punctuality. It’s very well-organized. Everything runs smoothly and on time. Also, the pilots and staff are super friendly, making this an unforgettable experience!

Popular 1990s rock band Hootie & The Blowfish's history playing Las Vegas dates back to Dec. 30, 1995, when the band played The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino after success of their debut album, "Cracked Rear View." The band last played Vegas in June 2019 at T-Mobile Arena on the Group Therapy Tour, which celebrated the 25th anniversary of their first album.

Hootie & The Blowfish tour returns to Las Vegas

Hootie & The Blowfish returns to the Las Vegas Strip for two shows Aug. 23-24 at BleauLive Theater in Fontainebleau Las Vegas as part of the Summer Camp with Trucks Tour. A review of the seating charts for both shows reveal that ticket face values on March 26 range from $69 for the top upper level section to $570 for the front row.

Live Nation and Ticketmaster presales begin March 28 at 10 a.m. Pacific, while general public sales go on sale March 29 at 10 a.m. Pacific.

Hootie & The Blowfish stormed onto the music scene after releasing their album "Cracked Rear View" in 1994, which included four of the bands biggest hits ever, "Hold My Hand," "Let Her Cry," "Only Wanna Be With You" and "Time." The album hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart in spring 1995, and the band has sold 25 million records worldwide since releasing its first record. 

Hootie frontman Darius Rucker in 2008 took a hiatus from the band and released his first country album "Learn to Live" that included his first country single "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," which went to No. 1 on the country charts.

How will F1’s Las Vegas pit building be used when there’s no race?

Las Vegas Grand Prix officials are hosting group tours to find events to fill their 300,000-square-foot facility just off the Strip throughout the year.

Las Vegas Grand Prix officials are still working out how their 300,000-square-foot facility just off the Las Vegas Strip will be used year round.

Formula One parent company Liberty Media spent about $500 million to acquire the 39-acre plot on the northeast corner of Harmon Avenue and Koval Lane and to construct the three-story building. It has a rooftop terrace featuring views of the Strip and Grand Prix Plaza.

With the sizable investment made by Liberty Media, the building is expected to be used for a variety of events beyond the race.

The building houses driver garages and high-end hospitality spaces during race weekends. Pit lane, the start-finish line and temporary grandstands are located there during Grand Prix weekends. The floors for the hospitality spaces are customizable and can be adjusted to host different events beyond the Formula One race.

“We’re actually working really hard on providing a variety of destination hosting, so we can host anything from a business meeting all the way to something like the Super Bowl media party which had over 6,000 people attend,” said Betsy Fretwell, Las Vegas Grand Prix chief operating officer. “So we can flex up, and we can flex down.”

Las Vegas Grand Prix CEO Renee Wilm previously stated that everything from convention-style events to a driving school and fan experiences featuring 3D or 4D technology could potentially be hosted at the building.

Grand Prix officials are providing tours to various groups in hopes of landing events starting next year.

“We are able to expose various destination management companies to what we have to offer here, so that we can get in the mix for that type of work next year,” Fretwell said. “But we’re also looking for some fan experience activities. More to come in ’25, maybe toward the end of ’24. We’re working on that right now.”

The Bellagio Fountain Club will again offer up-close views of the front straightaway on the Las Vegas Strip during the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Las Vegas locals exclusive opportunity to purchase tickets to the 2024 Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix kicked off Friday, with more general admission tickets available this year.

With transportation being the biggest issue tied to the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Board of Clark County Commissioners is asking Formula 1 to provide their 2024 plan by May 1.

More road disruption is coming near the Las Vegas Strip as a leaking water main under the site of a bridge built for the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix will be replaced.

A report set to be delivered to county commissioners next week discusses what officials learned and what can be improved for this year’s Formula One race.

The FIA confirmed it received a whistleblower complaint alleging its president told Formula One officials not to certify the Las Vegas Grand Prix race.

Tickets to the 2024 Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix will range between $150 and $35,000, race officials announced.

An executive at The Strat says the hotel took one for the team during the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, but is hoping to change that dynamic going forward.

Officials plan to offer single-day tickets for this year’s Formula One race while incorporating resorts that may not have benefited as much from last year’s event.

Formula One’s Las Vegas race will take place as scheduled over the next three years, even as Clark County examines its role in putting on the massive event.
