About Vegas Ghosts: Why We're The Best

Why We’re The Best

Las Vegas Ghosts isn’t just another tour—we take you deep into the eerie underbelly of Sin City, where the neon lights don’t shine. Our stories are built on the dark, twisted history of the city—tales of mob bosses, shady deals, and broken fortunes. We don’t rely on urban legends; we reveal the chilling truth behind the glamorous façade of Vegas. Our tour offers exclusive, real-life stories you won’t hear anywhere else, from the unsettling mysteries of the Strip to the ghostly echoes of infamous figures like Howard Hughes. If you want to see the hidden side of Vegas—the one haunted by spirits who can’t let go—this is the only tour for you.

Guidelines

Remain calm.

Keep cool, even if it’s hot. Ghosts here are pretty relaxed, try to be the same.

Be polite.

Act like your grandparents are on the tour. If they are here, welcome!

Do not provoke the spirits.

Sometimes we have close encounters, often we don’t see anything, if we do, just be nice to the ghosts and they will be nice to you.

Stay together.

Being a ghost may sound pretty good, but we’d much rather keep all our guests in the land of the living. Buddy up to keep it safe.

Watch your step.

To help us meet our above stated goal, please mind your step.

Real History | Real Hauntings

 

Our tour is rooted in the city’s true, scandalous past. You’ll hear tales of notorious mobsters who built this town with dirty money and even dirtier deeds, as well as the extravagant lives of Hollywood legends like Howard Hughes and Frank Sinatra, who left more than just their names in the city’s history. From under-the-table deals to unpayable gambling debts, Vegas’s darkest stories aren’t just legends—they’re rooted in real events. The best tales we tell are the true ones, and as you walk through the city, you’ll discover that Vegas’s glitzy façade hides a history far more chilling than fiction could ever create.

Best Local Guides

 

Our tours are led by guides who know that Sin City’s history is as dark as it is glittering. They offer a glimpse into the stories that most overlook—tales of mobsters, haunted casinos, and long-buried secrets that still echo through the desert. Our guides have a deep respect for the spirits that linger in the shadows, and they know how to unlock the darker side of Vegas. With an understanding of the city’s haunted history and its unearthly energy, our hosts take you beyond the lights of the Strip and into the hidden, haunted corners that most never see.

 

Why is Las Vegas so Haunted?

 

Las Vegas is a city built on secrets, and its haunted past runs deeper than most realize. Nearby Area 51 has long fueled speculation about the unknown, its mysteries casting a shadow over the city. The eerie remnants of atomic bomb testing in the desert still leave their mark, with some believing that the energy from those blasts lingers to this day. Vegas itself has seen countless fortunes won and lost, with the desperation of those who gambled everything creating an emotional residue that never left. 

 

The city’s history is steeped in blood—the violent era of mobsters, deadly shootings, and the heartbreak of failed marriages that ended in despair. Beneath the glittering lights, Las Vegas holds the restless energy of lives broken, dreams shattered, and spirits unable to move on.

 

Some of Our Favorite Locations

 

On our Las Vegas Ghosts tour, we visit some of the city’s most haunted and intriguing sites:

 

  • Wynn Hotel – Once a favorite haunt of Howard Hughes, some say his presence still lingers in the halls, refusing to let go of his love for this glamorous hotel.

 

  • Madame Tussauds – The famous wax museum where the figures might have a life of their own after dark. Visitors have reported feeling watched by eyes that aren’t supposed to move.

 

  • The LINQ – Formerly owned by a man with a disturbing interest in the occult, the eerie atmosphere here is undeniable. Strange occurrences and unsettling energy are said to permeate the halls of this iconic hotel.
