Wow! What a fantastic tour! My wife and i are both very interested in the sordid history of Las Vegas and the mob, and were delighted to find the Las Vegas Mob Tour available during our recent trip to Vegas. Our tour was on a Sunday evening and started bang on time (at 6pm) from the Royal Resort Hotel and Casino on Convention Center Drive. The tour guide came into the hotel reception area where we were waiting at a pleasant bar enjoying a drink before the tour. He was a tall chap, dressed as a gangster in a pinstripe suit and gangster hat and was immediately "in character" right from the start. I can't remember his name but he made us laugh with his fabulous mob personna and his accent (being from Chicago) was just perfect for this tour! There was about 6 people on our bus so it felt very much like a personal tour which made it even better. The mini coach we boarded was very nice and comfortable and the video system screen at the front was clear and easy to see. The tour guide was very, very knowledgeable and encouraged questions from the group which he answered with enthusiasm and accuracy. You could really tell that this guy knew his stuff and really knew how to deliver his story and keep people very interested all the way through. The coach made several stops, including Bugsy Siegel's memorial at the Flamingo, and our guide talked at length and in detail about each place we visited. I was absolutely hooked and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Sure, you should probably see the movie "Casino" before going on this tour, but then who hasn't seen this epic blockbuster of a film?! Yes, the guide makes references to the movie throughout the tour, and if you have seen the movie then great, but if you havent, it's no big deal. You can still easily follow the story. Don't listen to the whiners on here, just go on the tour and enjoy yourself!

Don't waste your money. We met at the Royal Court to begin the tour. About half way through the tour the buses video system broke down leaving us with only audio. The guide kept repeating himself and kept skipping back and forth giving names of mobsters we had never heard of because he had no video to follow. The bus stopped four times either in parking lots or along the street for us to look out the window at darkened buildings while he kept rambling off names. The last stop was at the Flamingo Casino where we got off to see the memorial to Bugsy Segal. We went back to the bus only to learn that it was broken down. We were told by the guide to find our own way back to the Royal Court the best way possible, either by bus or taxi at our own expense. Upon arriving we spoke to the tour manager about getting our money back because of the break down in equipment not allowing us to see the whole tour. She was very rude and told us we were at the last stop of the tour and she wasn't responsible to give us any refunds. We wasted our time and money only to be rude. to.

I was real excited to go on this tour and learn more about Vegas history. First of all you arrive in a lower demographics casino and get your tickets. Then you get a really rude women yelling come hurry get on the bus were running late and I'm not waiting on no one attitude. It was not so much a tour as it was a sit in the bus and watch a movie listening to a tour guide talk for three hours. We parked in front of four stops and looked out the window as the guide talked. We only got out of the bus 1 time for about 10 minutes. I left this tour very dissapointed. I was hoping to see sights of mob activity and learn more. I came out of this tour with no extra knowledge of Vegas and was very bored and tired of sitting in a bus for so long. The guide didn't even dress the part as advertised. What a huge waste of money. I could of just rented a dvd about the mob and saved my money considering thats all we did in the bus. There are many great tours in Vegas and this is not one of them.

You now meet a Royal Court, near the Greek Isles casino at 6:30PM. The Haunted Las Vegas tour also meets here. A passenger van drives all over Las Vegas to the sites of famous mob roberies, churches, and casinos. The tour ends at the Flamingo and the site of Bubsy's office tower. Great tour if you want to know the history of mob control and have seen the movie Casino. It is 95% correct according to the tour.
