Description

Experience the darker side of Las Vegas on the city’s only true-crime walking tour, where real events and infamous figures shaped the city’s past. This immersive 2.5-hour journey through Downtown Las Vegas takes you beyond the bright lights and into the real stories that built Sin City’s reputation for mystery, crime, and corruption. Your tour begins at the Mob Museum, where you’ll uncover how organized crime shaped not only Las Vegas but the nation as a whole. Hear two fascinating stories from the Mob’s turbulent history, and discover how its legacy still leaves traces in Las Vegas today. From there, you’ll walk to the outside of Binion’s Gambling Hall, home to a historic landmark that marks an important chapter in the founding of Las Vegas. As you continue inside Binion’s, your guide will share chilling stories from the Binion family’s own criminal history, including betrayals, mysterious deaths, and the legacy of one of the city’s most powerful casino dynasties. Next, you’ll make your way to the Golden Nugget, one of Downtown’s most iconic casinos. Here, you’ll uncover the details of a shocking criminal plot that targeted one of its former owners—an event that revealed just how high the stakes could be when money and power collided in old Las Vegas. Your journey then takes you inside the El Cortez, a historic hotel and casino with a dark past. Here, you’ll learn about Las Vegas’s deadliest bombing, a shocking event that sent ripples through the city and remains one of the most infamous crimes in its history. Finally, you’ll end your tour at Downtown Container Park, a vibrant modern landmark built on ground with a shadowy history. Here, your guide will discuss union-related crimes that once dominated Las Vegas headlines—stories of power, violence, and corruption that show how organized labor shaped the city as much as the casinos themselves. Throughout the tour, your local guide brings these stories to life through visual aids, vivid storytelling, historical insight, and on-location context. You’ll explore the very streets where these crimes unfolded, connecting the past to the present in a way few visitors ever experience. By the end, you’ll see Las Vegas in a new light—one built not just on glitz and glamour, but on the grit and intrigue that made it legendary.
