    Your adventure begins outside the historic El Cortez Hotel, one of the oldest continuously running casinos in Las Vegas. Learn how this 1940s gem survived the test of time, see its retro neon sign up close, and snap your first vintage-style photos under the glowing marquee. I’ll share fun stories about early Vegas and its transformation into the artistic district it is today.

    A creative hub built from repurposed shipping containers, Container Park blends art, music, and local life. You’ll see the famous giant praying mantis sculpture that shoots flames at night, browse local boutiques, and maybe grab a quick drink or snack. I’ll also show you playful installations and wall art inside the park that most people miss.
