Loving a hidden part of Vegas

If you want a in-depth tour with an icon of the arts district you can’t miss with Paco. His insights into the arts, and architecture, of not only this little slice of heaven but he also blends in a history of Vegas and Nevada. We not only saw street art, but also met an artist of a large graphic sign. We visited many art galleries, each had its own flare, and I found many pieces that I wanted to buy. Everyone was so nice and it was obvious that Paco knows the art scene. What an ambassador and art lover and genuine nice guy.

Operator response

Thank you so much Rebecca for your kind words and for touring with me! I am so glad you enjoyed our fabulous arts district.

The knowledge and passion...

The knowledge and passion Paco has for the arts in Vegas is truly unbelievable. He knows the arts, the artists and the history of the art culture in Vegas. He is a one of a kind fantastic man whom I want to hang out with. I also got to meet artists, and see art in the area I would have missed. Please do this tour- you will not regret. I highlight of my Vegas trip for sure.

Operator response

Thank you so very much Cheryl. It was a pleasure touring you around our fun and very artsy neighborhood! Safe travels!

Not to be missed when in Las Vegas

Paco, our guide, was absolutely amazing!! Knowledgeable, engaging, fun and considerate. We were very fortunate that it was just the two of us plus Paco. He lived nearby to the Arts district, was quite involved with the community and the running of organizations connected to the arts. Seemed to know everyone in the community while we toured. This was not your typical tour in that we went all over! Alleys, streets, galleries, studios and any other iteration that showcased the district. The talent exhibited by the muralists was jaw dropping. We learned so much about street art and have the pictures to prove it!! All ages would enjoy and benefit from this experience and adventure, Thx, Paco!!!

Operator response

I am so elated you enjoyed the tour and thank you kindly for your review and your kind words. On behalf of Las Vegas's arts district thank you for visiting!

Walking, street art, Googie, beer...this tour has it all!!

If you love Las Vegas, then you most definetely must take this tour. Getting to know a completely different side of the city is already a treasure by itself, but doing it along with Paco makes it a truly priceless experience. Paco knows it all, but he also lets you shape the conversation and gladly answers every question asked. He's also extremely patient and lets you take your time at each one of the amazing galleries and shops in the Arts District. As a Googie and street art lover, Paco tailored the tour around our interests, which brought up the experience even more. Above all, Paco loves Las Vegas and the 18B, which is something you notice throughout the entire tour. Once again, this is a must do.

Visit the back alleys of the Las Vegas Arts District

Wow! Paco is so knowledgeable about Las Vegas history and the community's arts movement. Our group had a lot of fun visiting special neighborhood locations, businesses, and learning about some of the artists. If you like street art and want to see another side of Las Vegas culture, don't miss Paco's tour.

Amazing art district tour

Paco is a fabulous tour guide -- he's super friendly and fun! He showed us a totally different side of Las Vegas, one that's filled with creative people and artistic energy. With Paco's knowledge of the Arts District, the tour could easily have been two or three times longer. As it was, he let us linger at places we really liked, like the General Store, with its original Vegas casino wares on sale. We also lucked into a free, short play at an art gallery, put on by theatre students from the university -- it was so funny! Paco informed us about the history and design of local buildings, and let us see the amazing graffiti art -- some of it was being spray painted as we watched! He also talked about the local restaurants and advised us about where to eat. My wife and I both thought this tour was one of the best things we did during our vacation in Las Vegas!

Excellent tour of another side of Vegas

This walking tour of the arts district in Las Vegas is a must do! I highly recommend seeing this other side of the city and learning about the area. The tour guide, Paco, is a born and raised local who knows his stuff. The tour is nice and leisurely and covers a good portion of the area. He has good recommendations for places to visit and eat at, too. Support this part of Vegas and take this tour!

Didn’t happen

Guide was no call, no show, no reply to text 🫤 Guide marked our booking Cancelled hours later. TripAdvisor should remove an event if it isn't actually real. Six people wasted time showing up for this.

Operator response

My sincerest apologies for this cancellation. Unfortunately the tour guide did not receive the booking notification until many hours later. We are working out the issue with Viator.
