The Vintage Vegas Dive Bar Tour is a history tour with a twist. On this tour you'll visit five classic Vegas bars that have been serving drinks through of some of the city’s most famous and infamous chapters. Along the way you'll hear the the stories of the characters and events that created America's craziest city: from the days of the Wild West, to the rise of the mafia, the weird world of Howard Hughes, the antics of the Rat Pack and the bizarre phenomenon of atomic tourism. At the bars you can meet the locals, sing karaoke and drink as much or as little as you like!
We meet at 8pm in the parking lot in front of Bonanza Gifts (AKA. "The World's Largest Gift Shop". You can't miss the sign! Click for map) This is the north-western corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue. Please do not be late or we will leave without you. Do not drive yourself, even if you do not intend to drink. You will not be able to park. Also, keep in mind that the traffic on the Las Vegas Strip can be very heavy at night, especially during Fridays, weekends and vacation periods. Whether you walk or are travelling by taxi, ride share or public transportation, leave yourself plenty of time.
Our final stop is the Peppermill Fireside Lounge (click for map) which we should reach a little before 11pm. This famous vintage Vegas lounge is located at the northern end of The Strip, opposite Circus Circus. From here you can either walk home or get a cab or rideshare, depending on where you're staying. Or you can head out and party! If you need recommendations for clubs or anything else, I will be most happy to assist.
