There are many sites to see in Las Vegas, and a walking tour is one of the most affordable ways to see all of the beauty Vegas has to offer. Las Vegas, Nevada is known as the gambling capital of America, and visitors can tour many of the famous casinos on their walking tours. Walking tours can save visitors money, and can offer them an up close and personal view of the city. There are many tours available for visitors, but none of the tours feature Las Vegas’s most prominent landmark, the Las Vegas Strip. The Strip is incredibly long and it would be almost impossible for walkers to see the many attractions in one day, or even a week. However, it is possible for visitors to tour the attractions of the Strip on their own time. Going out on their own is typically the best way for tourists to take in the sites of the Las Vegas Strip. Visitors will find that maps, and tour guides are not needed once they step onto Las Vegas Boulevard.

Las Vegas Boulevard is so full of lights that visitors won’t need anything else to guide them. Visitors may find it relaxing to take a walking tour of the grounds of the University of Nevada Las Vegas. The grounds of the university have been designated as an arboretum, which is a garden that is devoted to the display of trees. Tourists will find that touring the grounds are much like taking a walk in the park. Guided walking tours are available on a monthly basis, and can be organized upon request. Reservations
for the tour can be scheduled through the Arboretum Office at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, or visitors may make their arrangements at the university’s Web site.

Tourists may also take a self guided tour of the Barrick Museum of Natural History at the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus. The museum tour is self paced, and most visitors complete it within an hour. The tour of the Barrick Museum is also free for all visitors. The tour also includes the Xeric garden, which includes examples of many unique plants from arid regions from around the world. Spring is usually the best time to visit the museum of Natural History, because the desert is best in the spring. However, many of the species of plants available in the Xeric are in bloom during different times of the year.

Las Vegas offers many other walking tours that pay homage to nature, including the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. On the tour, visitors will have the chance to view more than 225 species of birds. Visitors will also find the preserves surroundings soothing, and may even have the chance to picnic in the park like surroundings. Visitors may also take other walking tours to view the many species of wildlife in the desert. Mapped trails with observation areas are available for visitors to use to view other wildlife.

Tourists may also view Las Vegas’s wildlife from mapped benches. Entrance to Las Vegas’s nature preserve is free, but it does contain a security gate. When taking a walking tour of Las Vegas’s nature preserve, visitors are asked to punch in a security code, which is listed at the gate. Tourists are not allowed inside the preserve until their security code is cleared. A walking tour is one of the best ways to view the beauty of Las Vegas, and a great way to see all of the sights that most tourist skimp over otherwise. Taking the time to walk through the sights can give tourists a greater appreciation for Las Vegas, and help them understand some of the city’s history.
