Las Vegas: Downtown Segway Tour with Pawn Stars & Fremont

Summary

Rolling through old Vegas on a Segway, Pawn Stars and neon stories

You’ll glide through Downtown Las Vegas on a Segway with a local guide who knows every oddball story behind Fremont Street and Pawn Stars’ famous shop. Hear live narration in your headset as you pass neon-lit casinos, quirky Container Park shops, and street performers—all with bottled water and misting systems to keep you cool. Expect to laugh, learn something weird, and see old Vegas up close.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest, I was nervous about the Segway part—my balance is more “questionable” than “circus performer”—but after that quick training (and a few wobbles), it felt weirdly natural. Our guide, Marcus, had this dry humor that made me relax. He handed us headsets so we could actually hear him over the city noise—very necessary when someone’s blasting Elvis from their car at 10am. The first stop was the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. I half-expected Chumlee to pop out, but no luck. Inside, it smelled like old leather and metal, and there was this quiet hum of people whispering about what might be real or fake. Marcus told us a story about a rare coin that got sold here for way less than it was worth—I guess even in Vegas, luck is slippery.

We zipped along to Fremont Street after that. The light under the Viva Vision canopy is wild—like walking through a giant digital aquarium if you squint a bit. There were street performers everywhere; one guy in gold paint winked at me when I nearly ran into his tip jar (sorry, dude). The air had that faint electric smell you get around neon signs and fried food stalls. I’d never realized how much history sits behind all the noise—Marcus pointed out old casino signs and told us which ones had actual mob stories attached. It’s not just flashing lights; there’s grit under there.

Container Park was next—a bunch of shipping containers stacked up like adult Legos, honestly. There’s this fire-breathing praying mantis at the entrance that startled me so badly I almost dropped my water bottle (still not sure if kids or adults enjoy it more). We wandered through little boutiques and caught snippets of locals chatting in Spanglish near a taco stand. The whole place smells like grilled onions and sunscreen by midday. By then I’d stopped worrying about falling off the Segway and just enjoyed rolling through everyone’s everyday lives for a bit.
