We loved every minute!!! A must see/do when in Vegas. Our guide was so knowledgeable and dropped all kinds of nuggets.

We hope to have you back and tell you about the arsons, car bombings, kidnappings, and more. Tupac, Elvis, Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson, Benny Binion, Wayne Newton and many more.

Amazing tour!

Erica_P, Jun 2023

This tour was absolutely amazing, and one of the highlights of our recent trip to Vegas. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Adam, who was extremely knowledgeable about Sin City’s deep and storied mob history and brought one of our favorite movies, Casino, to life! That included an unexpected visit to the home of Ace and Ginger (IYKYK), where we got to meet one of the current owners. He was so nice and we loved hearing his stories about the filming of the movie and his interactions with the cast and crew. But the best part of the tour was Adam. Through photos, videos, and stories about his personal interactions with Frank Culotta, our tour was an outstanding, memorable experience from start to finish. We look forward to returning to Vegas and joining Adam on the Vegas crime tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

OMG Thank you for this GREAT review! I we share a review on social media this is the one! We never know if the owners of the Casino house are home or not but we always stop and have a photo opportunity in front of the house. We look forward to having you experience the very "touching" Vegas Crime Tour. See you soon!

Far Exceeded my Expectations

Timothy_R, Dec 2021

Too much great information to share. It was fantastic! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. He really had a ton of great information about the mob in Vegas, and I could have listened to him for another 2-3 hours.

Response from Host, Dec 2021

WOW! Thank you for this excellent 5 star review! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour!

Adam great, experience not so much.

Natacha_v, Jul 2021

While Adam was very knowledgeable about the mob scene in Vegas, all we did was drive around in a van. Not what we expected at all from the description listed. More than disappointing for the cost per person.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Excellent tour

Richard_F, Jul 2021

A great tour. Adam was a wealth of information. Van was comfortable in the heat (115 at times). Very enjoyable

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Thank you for this great review Richard! Yes, we have a custom A/C units in our vehicles and since we are in the desert during extreme heat warnings, our A/C keeps things as comfortable as possible. We thank you again for the wonderful review, Adam has been a Las Vegas tour guide for 15 years and knows Las Vegas history.

Ride with the Mob

meryle_M, Feb 2020

A very enjoyable tour. Having a driver for the van and a guide is much better than some tours that double up driver/guide. The guide was in character of “wise guy” and provided a lot of history on how the mob moved into the Vegas casino business. There are a couple of opportunities to get off for closer looks at the sites. The stop at the Flamingo allowed the group to go into the interior gardens and see the tribute statue to Bugsy Siegel and the lovely pool areas. He used the movie “Casino” as a point of reference for many of the mob personalities, and it seemed that the movie was more of the tour focus than the local sites. Overall it was an interesting 2 hours and we saw sites we would have otherwise missed.

Excellent Mob Tour Vegas

sarahlouisecarter15, Feb 2020

The Mob Tour was absolutely brilliant. We enjoyed the presentation and content. It was great to visit all the locations and really interesting to hear stories from real Mobsters. Would highly recommend.
