The experience

You download the Action Tour Guide app, enter your password, and the tour is ready to go: no live guide, no group, no schedule. Start at the designated beginning or jump in anywhere along the route shown on your phone. As you walk, GPS triggers audio stories automatically: you'll hear how the 45-foot MGM Grand Lion honors the original Leo from MGM's film logo, why the Strip technically sits in an unincorporated town called Paradise, and the unlikely origin of the Flamingo as the oldest continuously operating resort on the Strip, opened in 1946 with dealers in white suits and a dress code for players.

The route covers over 4 miles and passes landmarks like Caesars Palace (opened 1966 with Jimmy Hoffa at the grand opening), The Mirage (funded by Michael Milken's $525 million bond sale), Paris Las Vegas (inspired by Catherine Deneuve's vacation), and ARIA Campus (the first resort with automated hotel rooms that respond to guest entry). You'll walk past New York-New York's fiberglass replicas of the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge, the Luxor's pyramid and Sky Beam, and Mandalay Bay. The audio fills in the gaps: the history of the Rat Pack at the old Sands Resort, the 2010 stamp scandal tied to New York-New York, the reason Bellagio is named for an Italian village on Lake Como. You pause when you want, take photos, grab food, sit down. The stories don't go anywhere.

Once downloaded over WiFi or strong cellular signal, the tour works completely offline using only GPS. You can use it on an iPhone (iOS 15+), Android (version 9+), or a GPS-enabled iPad or tablet with cellular capability. The same password works across devices, so if you're traveling with family, each person can download it on their own phone. Lifetime access means you keep the tour forever: preview it before you go, revisit the stories and photos afterward, use it again on a return trip years later. Support is available by chat, email, or phone if you get stuck. Entrance fees to any casino, parking, food, and transport to the Strip are separate.

Top questions

How long does the Las Vegas Strip walking tour take?

The full route is over 4 miles with more than 35 audio stories and typically takes 1 to 2 hours to complete, but you control the pace: pause for photos, rest, or explore a casino as long as you want.

What happens if I don't start at the beginning of the tour?

You can join the route anywhere along the path shown in the app. The GPS will trigger stories as you reach each stop, so starting mid-route works fine.

Does the tour work if I don't have cell service while walking?

Yes, download the tour in advance over WiFi or strong cellular signal, and it runs completely offline using GPS to trigger the audio stories as you walk.

Can I use this tour on multiple trips to Las Vegas?

The tour is yours for life with no expiration. You can download it once and use it anytime you visit Las Vegas, as many times as you want.

What is the Flamingo and why is it significant on the Strip?

The Flamingo Hotel and Casino opened in 1946 and is the oldest continuously operating resort on the Strip. It set the standard for high-end resorts with plush rooms, fine dining, A-list entertainers, and round-the-clock gambling that defined the Strip in the 1950s and '60s.

Why is the MGM Grand Lion featured in the tour?

The 45-foot bronze lion weighing 50 tons honors Leo the Lion, who roared from the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo before every MGM film from 1957 until 2021. It's one of the largest bronze sculptures in the United States.
