This intimate food tour swaps the dazzling lights of the Strip for the neighbourhood where Las Vegas truly originated, delving six tastings deep into the city's evolution from a tranquil railway halt to an international hotspot. A local guide escorts you through Fremont Street, retracing the paths of Frank Sinatra and Bugsy Siegel whilst highlighting the tales behind the tycoons and visionaries, from Steve Wynn to Tony Hsieh, who moulded the contemporary downtown skyline.
You'll assemble beneath the world's largest 4K video screen as your guide links each stop to the cuisine on offer, with groups small enough to ensure a personal conversation and a leisurely pace. This is Las Vegas history narrated through its kitchens, not its casinos.
The tastings draw from downtown's varied gastronomic scene. You can anticipate a savoury lobster montadito, a quintessential Las Vegas shrimp cocktail and a selection of street food classics including Mexican-inspired elote dogs and musubi with teriyaki. A slice of the neighbourhood's monthly charity pizza and a sumptuous chocolate treat complete the experience. One dish is reserved as a surprise—a locally inspired delicacy unveiled only on your tour.
