DTLV Art Walk

I cannot begin the explain how incredible this tour is! It shows you a side of Vegas that you didn't even know existed! Rikka is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable in the art world and the evolution of downtown Las Vegas. I actually have already taken this tour twice when different family members come into town and you learn different things each time! Since the murals are constantly rotating, Rikka always shows the newest pieces and tells you the interesting backstories of these artists. She tells you their inspiration or where else they might have work in the world since she travels all over learning about these artists. Rikka answers all questions with ease and puts her own little funny / witty spin on the tour. I highly recommend this tour and will be taking it at least once a year to get a refresher on Vegas' ever-rotating & evolving art scene!

This was my first introduction to first Friday's in Las Vegas, and it was a great one. I caught the sunset in perfect temperature with friends. This included Kelsey, an up and coming designer who won a design award and was celebrating a victory. There was also a lot of great places to photograph and be photographed. The building held a massive studio with different artists showcasing their pieces with pop-up galleries selling pieces as well. Did I mention the food trucks?! It was a bit crowded and lines were long, so it's probably better to get food and drink early on in the evening.

I LIVE HERE and walking by street are is not the same without somehow who knows what it's all about. I feel like I just took a course on my city. Everyone always says their no culture in Vegas but that is far form the truth. Welcome to an experience that shows you the opposite. Rikka is the BOMB and knows her stuff. She loves this and you can feel it.

Creating my first yelp review to leave a rave for Rikka's Vegas street art tour. The 90-minute trek (which stretched to 2 hours) would be of interest in anyone interested in place-making, visual art, evolving cityscapes, or 21st century Vegas history.I signed up for her last walk on a Sunday night (Nov. 4) and, as luck would have it, was able to enjoy a custom tour for one.She greeted me as a long-lost friend and guided me up and down the streets and alleyways of downtown, connecting dots, answering questions, posing others, and lasering in on the sights she thought I'd most like to see. Armed with an iPad for supplemental visuals, Rikka shared stories of the artworks on display and of the people who painted them, touching on the politics and personalities that have come into play and the old pieces that had come before. A Vegas native and passionate aficionado of street art, she is active in the community --friendly with several of the artists and a correspondent with many others, discussing their work and its message -- and an engaging guide. Her tour offers a lot of insight, delivered engagingly and with a sense of humor. Just do it!

The most incredible way to discover Downtown Las Vegas, and I'm a local! Rikka, the host, is very passionate and knowledgeable about street art and downtown Las Vegas. Being able to walk through and hear about the different artists and murals really allowed the information to absorb in. I found myself much more interested in street art as a whole because of the newfound appreciation I gained from taking her tour! Would highly recommend to tourists and locals alike, you won't regret it!

Had a great time on this tour with a few friends today. The tour guide, Rikka, was very knowledgeable about various street artists, Vegas culture, and events. I've been living here for several years so it was great to see a different side of Vegas away from the Strip. Definitely recommend this tour. Be mindful of the time of year and tour time you select though as late spring/early summer it can heat up outside so make sure to have lots of water and sunscreen if you go during that time of the year.

This is literally the best way to learn about the growing downtown area with its budding art scene.So I just moved here from California and wanted to get to know the downtown area. I was looking for things to do and thought I'd take an art walk because it sounded interesting. Basically you'll get a Vegas native who is highly passionate and knows about the happenings in the Vegas scene especially when it comes to art.Rikka was extremely helpful and knowledgable and this was probably by far the quickest, most interesting and fun way to learn about the area through street art. She also has a super chill and sweet personality/vibe.Even if you're local and not familiar with or it's been some time since you've last really been to the downtown area this will the be the best way to get caught up quickly and see Vegas with fresh eyes.Also, it's just really interesting and fun.Honestly, I 100% recommend you to experience this for yourself.It's literally a steal for the time/passion/commitment that the tour guide puts in. Peace.

Holy cow!!! Best thing I've ever done in Vegas! Rikka showed me a side of downtown I didn't know existed. She is so passionate and knowledgeable about the street art. The art we experienced was breathtaking, and knowing the back story and learning about the artists made them even more so. I will be taking more people in the future on this tour, it was that good. It was relaxed and didn't feel scripted. It all came from her heart and that made it all the more better!! INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!

David was knowledgeable, passionate, down to earth, and friendly. As a core member of the burgeoning downtown Las Vegas scene, he is thoroughly versed in each piece of art he presents - from the artist, to the intention behind it, to it's meaning for and impact on the community. You don't have to like art or Las Vegas I'm order to immensely enjoy this tour! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
