    4. Las Vegas artist Jesse Carson Smigel concedes that cats often crop up in his work. "I try to do different things, but a remarkably large percentage of my art is about cats," he told us, including a short-lived 26-foot-long digital mural of cats battling Borg cubes in outer space. "I think people have pretty much picked up on the idea that, yeah, I'm a cat guy." Snowball was designed to encourage visitor interaction. Snowball was designed to encourage visitor interaction. Felines, however, were the furthest thing from Jesse's mind when he proposed a sculpture for the city's fledgling First Street Art Trail. It would be, he said, a nine-foot-tall obese tardigrade -- a usually microscopic "space bear" frequently featured in sci-fi -- tipping a top hat in greeting with one of its eight tiny arms. The idea did not go over well. "I don't think anybody liked that concept, aesthetically or philosophically," he said.

    11. Great-aunt Esther was a tough, smart, no-nonsense type who cared about people and gave good advice. “She was a big support to my mom when I was growing up, and that was huge,” says Trees. “She was always there for us.” Esther wrote the check that sent Chef Trees off to the CIA (after all, someone had to get him out of Alfio’s kitchen). And when she passed in 2016 she left James a nest egg – the money he needed to finally open his own restaurant. The restaurant is named in her honor for all of this, and because everyone hopefully has someone like Aunt Esther. Whoever that person was for you, when you walk in the door we want you to feel like you’re at their house. We want you to feel cared for.

    richardtV9211OU · November 2025

    Excellent introduction to an up-and=coning part of Vegas.

    Fun and informative trip round an up-and-coming part of Las Vegas. Found that I was in a group of one, just me and the tour guide, so you certainly won't get lost in a crowd. Marsha the guide really knew the area. My tour was from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. so not all the shops were yet open. A good way to see the local street art and the Healing Garden. Recommended for anyone who wants to explore something in Las Vegas besides just the strip and Freemont Street.

    Response from the operator: Dear richardtV9211OU, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review of our 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas. We truly appreciate your support. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed a fun and informative experience while exploring this vibrant and fast growing part of the city. Marsha will be so pleased to know that her knowledge and passion for the neighborhood made your private style tour memorable. The Arts District is one of the most creative and eclectic pockets of Las Vegas. The street art, the local galleries, the Healing Garden, and the independent shops create a completely different perspective from the strip and Fremont Street. I am glad you were able to experience that unique side of the city. We would love to welcome you back anytime you are in Las Vegas or visiting our sister locations in Los Angeles, San Diego, or Maui. All The Best, Kenneth

    A+ All-Around!

    My husband and I recently took the Arts District Tour with Marsha. It is such an interesting neighborhood, and with the knowledge and enthusiasm Marsha shared, we came away with a greater appreciation of the Arts District and Las Vegas in general. She is such a pleasant person and very customer service oriented.

    Response from the operator: Dear WNYGal2015, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much you and your husband enjoyed exploring the 18b Arts District with Marsha. She brings an incredible blend of knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality to every tour, and it means so much to know she helped you connect with the neighborhood and with Las Vegas, on a deeper level. We truly appreciate you choosing to spend part of your day with us. And if your travels ever take you beyond Las Vegas, we would also be honored to host you on our five star private tours in Los Angeles and San Diego as well. Thank you again for your kind words and for supporting our small business. All The Best, Kenneth

    New thing to do in Vegas

    The time I picked was a very hot day, and the owner called personally to accommodate for another time. I informed him I got into Vegas that day and in the morning I had other plans. They were gracious enough to accommodate me earlier due to the weather and boy it was very hot. District was very interesting similar to where I live and can tell it’s growing thank you so much for the water Marsha and for being so kind.

    Response from the operator: Dear dianad915, Thank you so much for your kind review and for joining us on The 18b Arts District Walking Tour. We are delighted that we could adjust the timing for you to help with the summer heat and that Marsha’s hospitality made your experience more comfortable. The Arts District is such a special, evolving part of Las Vegas, and we are thrilled you enjoyed exploring its unique culture and growth. We truly appreciate your support and hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again on your next visit to Las Vegas or in one of our other destinations in San Diego, Los Angeles, or Maui. All The Best, Kenneth

    ROCHJWW · June 2025

    Las Vegas Arts District Walking Tour

    We toured the Las Vegas Arts District for an hour and a half with Martha Thrash, Tour Guide Extraordinaire. We enjoyed learning about the District and its history from Marsha, who was full of interesting facts and explanations. There were unavailable venues because we toured on a Sunday morning, but this did not diminish our enjoyment of the experience. Marsha was very considerate of us in the heat, offering us bottles of water and her umbrella for shade. We'd definitely consider another tour with Marsha and her company during a future Vegas visit.

    Response from the operator: Dear ROCHJWW, Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our Las Vegas Arts District Walking Tour! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with Marsha—she truly is a Tour Guide Extraordinaire, and we're lucky to have her on our team. Her knowledge, kindness, and attention to your comfort really reflect the heart of what we strive to offer every guest. While a few venues were unavailable that Sunday morning, I’m glad to hear it didn’t take away from the experience. We appreciate your flexibility and great attitude! We’d love to welcome you back for another tour—perhaps next time in San Diego or Los Angeles. Each city offers its own unique vibe and hidden gems, and we’d be honored to show you around again with the same level of care and enthusiasm. Warmest regards, Kenneth President & CEO Another Side Tours, Inc.

    The 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 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 The 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 The 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Las Vegas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas?

    +

    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 The 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas?

    +

    Around 1 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The 18b Arts District Walking Tour in Las Vegas 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.
