We all agreed - we all recommend this tour - hopefully you get Terbo Ted as your host - Loved it !!

The tour was awesome. You get to see Las Vegas at night in all it glory. Along with a brief history of the hotels. Don't worry if you miss something going up. You'll see it again on the way back. Do dress warm if you go during the winter months. But you do have the option of sitting in the lower half of the bus, but you don't have a good view.

I love hearing the history/back story of places. This is one thing everyone should do when they visit Las Vegas.

My daughter and I had a great time on the tour. My daughter is grown, that option is not listed below.

The driver/tour guide was amazing and knowledgeable. Everything was perfect!
