Points of Interest

Stop At: Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada
This list changes often. This depends on: on events, what's open and closed, there's always new things, changes based on guests interests - i.e. If you want more of a bar-crawl experience, let me know!

Stop At: Palazzo Resort Casino
3325 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, Nevada
Starting at one of the most grand and opulent lobbies in Vegas: we'll walk through a low-key, tranquil, Italian marbled palace-like resort subtly filled with acrylic birds above the lights, and a bronze wishing tree. Well pass by a 125+ year old original gondola built for weddings, Laura Kimpton's 12ft tall and 36 ft wide steel Love sign and a shopping center filled with happy hours, food and drink deals in a varying degree of restaurant themes such as a British Pub w/ darts and a view of the Strip, a Brazilian, Peruvian & Japanese restaurant bar in an Orange forest and more. You'll also pass by Vegas's largest poker room and a vintage style rare book-shop from the TV show Pawn Stars. It's luxury without the crowds and where the sugar daddy's lurk. Ladies, take note.
Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: The Venetian Las Vegas
3355 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109
A hotel & casino built by a Boston billionaire for his wife after visiting Venice on their honeymoon, it's the largest hotel by room count in the U.S and second largest in the world. We'll walk under Karen Kristen's laser guided spray painted sky ceiling, along a replica of the Grand Canal and through a replica of Venice's, St. Mark's Square filled with Italian restaurants, Cafes and Gelato... and of course... more happy hours and lunch specials! You'll also see an odd mix of shops from an authentic hat store, robotic dog and smart luggage, to the location of a 1923 speakeasy, and Michael Jackson's favorite store to shop in where most of the stuff doesn't have price tags. Lastly, looking up, you'll witness hand painted frescoes, replicas from the Doge's Palace in Venice and an Italian marble lined colonnade featuring a golden Armillary Sphere and a very inconspicuous dark chocolate and coffee shop for my anti-Starbucks crowd and chocolate lovers!
Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Best Western Plus Casino Royale–Center Strip
3411 Las Vegas Blvd S, , Las Vegas, Nevada
I love Casino Royale! It's not on anyone's "must-visit" radar... unless you must have a little taste of vintage Vegas or a piece of Fremont Street on the Strip! Built in 1970's and it smells like it. This joint looks like something out of your favorite Vegas mafia movie - dark, low-ceiling, smokey. Ot has: cheap slots (and only slots), cheap food like 24hr Denny's which is also the country's highest grossing, 24hr White Castle, three dollar hotdogs and better yet, three dollar beer bottles, five dollar drafts and cheap drinks all-day everyday! And a three dollar atm machine, cheapest on the Strip! They also have a ten million dollar jackpot!
Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: The Piano Bar at Harrah's
3475 Las Vegas Blvd S, , Las Vegas, Nevada
Usually I'll walk through Harrah's if it's too hot or cold outside. The casinos run parallel to the Strip which make snice for casino hopping. Harrah's has a great pizza shop, a Gordon Ramsay Kitchen, and a very suspicious cake vending machine. It's a gamblers casino but they have the Piano Bar with Big Elvis and nightly dueling Pianos.

Stop At: The LINQ Casino
3535 Las Vegas Blvd S, The LINQ Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada
An area where those janky "showgirls" lurk in the shadows awaiting unsuspecting sugar daddy's to cruise by and a 70 year old Mexican Minnie Mouse smoking cigarettes and eating cheeseburgers - but there's live music!
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: O'Sheas Pub
3535 Las Vegas Blvd S, The LINQ, Las Vegas, Nevada
The only thing that excites me in the Linq is the Dunkin Donuts and it's connected to Chayo which has $30 all-you-can-drink Mimosas in the morning. There's also Disco Show at night if you want a more interactive Vegas theater show. It's like Studio 54 on roller-skates.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: The Linq Promenade
3545 Las Vegas Blvd S, Between The Linq Hotel & Casino And Flamingo Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada
The littlest casino on the Vegas Strip and there's really nothing Irish about this place other than the name, the color green and some shamrocks... and every other American inside drunk staking claims to their 10% Irish heritage and reminiscing about that one time they went to Ireland. Actually, they have an amazing frozen Bailey's so feel free to grab one as we pass by! (No, I'm broke, I'm not buying!) Anyways, usually there's more people in here playing beer pong than actually gambling but it's also the smallest casino on the Strip.

Stop At: Flamingo Wildlife Habitat
3555 Las Vegas Blvd S, Flamingo Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada
Attached to the littlest and (and greenest) casino is the Linq Promenade. It has a zipline, largest Observation wheel in the "world" (in operation) and of course the ferris wheel has a bar in it because everything you can do here you can do with alcohol (thank you god!). But the Promenade is a street full of bars and restaurants and great happy-hours. It's like a Vegas version of Downtown Disney but with pot, cigarettes and alcohol - some sweat and shame in the summer and unfortunately some crying kids.

Stop At: Casino at The Cromwell
3595 Las Vegas Blvd S, 89109, Las Vegas, Nevada
Next we'll stumble through the Flamingo, the oldest hotel and casino on the Vegas Strip which just wonderfully got rid of my favorite bar (50 cent beer) in exchange for an out of place Ramsay Burger. The place is fairly pink, two vintage photos, and a little semi-wildlife animal habitat full of black swans (dead), pelicans (one left), and real Chilean Flamingos (down to 7 from 10) among many exotic birds (a couple different species of hummingbirds which are a joy to see but then again, we're in the middle of nowhere so anything that's real, colorful and not drunk is a joy to see), exotic ducks and massively mutant looking Koi fish (American sized). It's a hidden little oasis, in the middle of a casino, quiet, mellow, filled with palm tress and fake grass. Sadly, there's a Carlos & Charlies that does a morning drink special and a 2-4-1 happy hour but it's outside open-air patio overlooks the garden.
Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Grand Bazaar Shops
3635 Las Vegas Blvd S, In Front of Bally's Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada
This is now turning into a Vanderpump hotel but for now it still reminds me of the inside of one of those dine-in Pizza Huts. Best things here are their piano bar and noon-9pm $5 drink deal.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden
3600 Las Vegas Blvd. S, Las Vegas, Nevada
Love the Grand Bazaar Shops at Horseshoe because this where the deals are, great food, well-priced, big portions but quality - and most people walk right by them. There's made-to-order donuts, Nashville Hot chicken, stale pizza just how you like i in the morning, Mexican..ish..., Whalburgers, Mexican hotdogs, 2 mystery shots for $5 and my spot that does buy one get one drinks all day everyday with flare bartenders! A gift shop for you cheap tacky Vegas souvenirs, tall-boys (the beer not the men) and dollar waters! Also a rooftop bar with live music and cowboy accents all day.
Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: The Cosmopolitan Casino
3708 Las Vegas Blvd S, , Las Vegas, Nevada
A Vegas like "replica" of what Bellagio, Italy would look like if it got drunk and had to build itself on a budget - One of the first luxury resorts in Las Vegas that's famous for being in only one movie anyone cane remember, Ocean's 11, but lined with Italian marble, mosaic, high-end retail like not one but two Louie Vuitton's, Michelin chefs and 5-Star dinning options, screaming kids and crying babies and Dale Chihuly's 2,000 piece Fiori di Como designed after flower fields in Lake Como Italy. There's also a "garden" (conservatory) of thousand of real plants, trees, silk floral displays and seasonal designs that change, every season. It's open 24 hrs and doesn't smell like cigarettes, or pot, or sweat and shame. It's beautiful. We'll also view the world's "largest" chocolate fountain (technically second largest, maybe even third now). It's officially amazing but not as amazing as the Christmas store if your here during that time.
Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: The Shops At Crystals
3720 S Las Vegas Blvd, , Las Vegas, Nevada
If you like hidden sh*t and speakeasys, or 20 year olds running around drunk and half naked in the summer calling each other "bro" and b*tch" well then, this is the hotel for you! One of the newest hotels on the Strip, it's glitzy, glamoury, has has nothing but goo food and bars... and a 3-story bar encased in a chandelier of 2 million crystals (plastic) surrounding a 40 foot tour of liquor. Depending on timing, what's open, we'll visit or I'll point out a speakeasy behind a 1920's themed barbershop with nightly music, a tequila and nachos bar hiding behind an exit sign, a secret pizza shop and a restaurant behind a "pawn shop".
Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Eataly
3770 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Bougie shopping center that's architecturally amazing, filled with designer shops, art gallery, and very energy efficient. This is where the future of Las Vegas begins. Ultra Luxury. Designed by an American-Polish architect who also did the World Trade Center in NYC - it's a 21st century park with a 55foot 3-story modern tree house as the center piece. There's also a Jason Aldean's outside with daily live music and patio views of the strip.

Stop At: Carnaval Court Las Vegas
3475 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109
If there's time left or you're looking for food close to the end of the tour, Eataly! Based out of Turin, Italy, this is as close to authentic and genuine Italian in Vegas as it gets. It's an indoor Italian market place full of little Italian street-food stalls, restaurant and Italian market with bakery, pastry shop, coffee shop, gelato and wine store! Also, in the back is a Lady Gaga exhibit. The one free thing in Vegas if you're into seeing her meat suit. It's also a none smoking casino.
Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: BrewDog Las Vegas
3767 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109
If time allows and/or you still have some steps left in you - We'll go up to Brewdog. It's a rooftop bar, with an outdoor patio overlooking the Strip. Couches, live music and night, dozens of different beer, full bar, big pizzas and the largest brewery in Europe, from Scotland.
