Must-See Spots Vegas Strip Walking Tour
Mostly Indoors to avoid heat
Great for beginning the trip so later you know where to go!
Not your typical walking tour. No flag, microphone or big groups. If anything's in my hand, it'll probably be a beer.
After years of exploration, I've cut out the guesswork and put together a comprehensive exploratory walking tour of some of the must-see spots and hidden gems of the Vegas Strip that you might miss if venturing alone. Spots locals don't know!
We'll see a lot - where the good food/ drink deals and happy hours are, cheap souvenirs, hidden bars, rooftops & speakeasys! Best views of the the Vegas Strip, hidden gardens, photo spots, world's largest chocolate fountain, fine art, rare bookstore, hand painted sky ceilings, Venice canals, hand painted Italian murals in the largest hotel. Hidden oasis and wildlife habitat exotic birds, fish, Flamingos, a bustling Italian market, three-story chandelier bar, and a sh*t ton more!
These are the spots and places you should see and know!

Palazzo Resort Casino
Starting at one of the most grand and opulent hotels in Vegas with ceilings so high you feel you’ve stepped into the vestibule of Olympus. The architecture borrows the best from everywhere: Corinthian columns, art deco trim, Romanesque murals, chandeliers the size of small planets with Dutch made acrylic birds that sing from a bronze sculpted, gold leaf wishing tree in the morning. There’s no singular style, only one unspoken rule: everything must glimmer. A low-key, tranquil, Italian marbled palace. Well pass by a 125+ yr old hand-built gondola, 12ft tall steel Love sign and a shopping center filled with happy hours, food and drink deals in a variety of restaurant - 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!
The Venetian Las Vegas is not a hotel—it’s a fever dream in marble and moonlight, a Baroque hallucination transported brick by imagined brick from the canals of northern Italy and replanted in the glowing heart of the Nevada desert. Inside, marble columns rise beside storefronts that masquerade as boutiques but feel like theater sets. The Grand Canal curls lazily through an indoor piazza filled with happy hours, lunch specials and hand-painted Italian murals. Its ceiling a perfect sunset sky that never quite convinces but never quite has to. It is daylight forever in the Venetian. From the moment you approach, you’re not walking into a building—you’re stepping into a story. Gondolas rock gently in turquoise water under a sky that never darkens, piloted by striped-shirt gondoliers who croon beneath bridges sculpted in perfect, implausible imitation. The Venetian is not about accuracy—it’s about emotion. It’s not trying to be Venice. It’s trying to capture the longing Venice evokes.
