About Tour Guide Dwayne W.
I was the first generation of tour guides through Wayne Newton's Casa de Shenandoah. When I worked at Big Bus Tours, I gave on a double decker bus up and down the Las Vegas strip and on Fremont Street. My current tour will take visitors through the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada. Visitors will see archeological relics, as well as original manuscripts and erotic art going back centuries.
I am certified with the Las Vegas Tourist Guides Guild.
