    Worth It!!!

    Jordan was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we both enjoyed ourselves and took time to answer my questions and give us tips for our future visits to Vegas!

    What an amazing way to see Vegas history and visit some hidden spots! Jordan was great, so fun to chat with, and a wealth of knowledge. He really catered to what we wanted out of this tour! Love all the old Vegas pics he showcased too!

    Vegas Trip Highlight

    This was the highlight of our trip. We were celebrating my nephews 21st birthday. Jordan (our tour guide) was amazing. He had great knowledge of the history of Fremont Street and came prepared with photos and amazing facts. Everyone in my group had a blast and the ages ranged from 21 to 67. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get to know the real Fremont Street and have a great time.

    Scubar: The Best Bar & Nightclub Experience in Koh Phi Phi!

    If you’re heading to Koh Phi Phi, Scubar The Third Chapter should be at the top of your must-visit list! My girlfriends and I discovered this gem last month, and it was hands-down the best part of our trip. Here’s why you NEED to check it out: We started our evening at Scubar with some of the best cocktails on the island. Their signature drinks are crafted with tropical Southeast Asian flavors—think fresh pineapple, lime, and unique local ingredients. And they’re 100% vegan, which makes them not only delicious but also eco-friendly! The elegant, upscale vibe is such a refreshing change from the typical beach bars you see everywhere. After dinner, we came back, and WOW—the place had completely transformed into a lively club. The energy was unreal! The DJ played hip-hop and R&B bangers that kept us on the dance floor all night. It’s the perfect mix of sophistication and fun, and honestly, no other spot on Koh Phi Phi compares. Whether you’re a solo traveler, with friends, or on a romantic getaway, Scubar offers something for everyone. Start your night with expertly crafted cocktails and come back later to party and dance the night away. Its prime location in Koh Phi Phi’s nightlife hub makes it super convenient too! If you’re looking for the best bar AND club experience on Koh Phi Phi, don’t miss Scubar. Trust me, it’ll be the highlight of your trip.

    Response from the operator: While we appreciate all 5 star reviews, this particular review has been left erroneously. Our tour is located on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, this review has been left for a cocktail bar in Thailand.

    Best Bars on Fremont: Happy Hour and Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Las Vegas.

    How much does Best Bars on Fremont: Happy Hour and Hidden Gems cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Las Vegas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Best Bars on Fremont: Happy Hour and Hidden Gems take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Las Vegas is not rushed.

    Is Best Bars on Fremont: Happy Hour and Hidden Gems worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Las Vegas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Best Bars on Fremont: Happy Hour and Hidden Gems?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Best Bars on Fremont: Happy Hour and Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Best Bars on Fremont: Happy Hour and Hidden Gems?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Las Vegas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Las Vegas and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Best Bars on Fremont: Happy Hour and Hidden Gems start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Las Vegas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Las Vegas?

    +

    Las Vegas sells two trips at once: the Strip after dark, and the red-rock desert that starts twenty minutes past the last casino. Helicopter runs to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam half-days and Red Rock Canyon drives all leave early, while show tickets, speakeasy crawls and high-roller dining fill the evening. Outty Ranking weighs operator reliability heavily here, because the gap between a well-run desert tour and a coach-and-queue version is enormous. On Outty we rank every Las Vegas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group: Valley of Fire Half Day Tour from Las Vegas, Small Group Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, 7 Magic Mountains VIP Tour, Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam Stop, Breakfast, Lunch & Skywalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Las Vegas?

    +

    October to April. Summer highs above 105F make midday outdoor tours punishing. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Las Vegas?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
