Red Rock Canyon Jeep Tour

Escape the neon lights of Las Vegas for the raw wilderness of the Mojave Desert with this jaw-dropping 4WD tour of the Red Rock Canyon. Follow a scenic route that takes in a number of sights and attractions such as the Calico Springs, the pre-historic rock art of Willow Springs and the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. You will be taken aback by how much there is to see so close to Las Vegas.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, just a few minutes’ drive from the Strip, has scenery so dramatic that it is often selected as the backdrop for movies and commercials. Start with a 21km (13 mile) loop drive along this beautifully rugged landscape. See the impressive Wilson Cliffs, part of the 65-million-year-old Keystone Thrust, and pass by the fossilised sand dunes of the brilliantly coloured Calico Hills and limestone roasting pits used by the Paiute tribe of Native Americans, who would cook agave hearts in them. Enjoy the views from High Point Overlook, which is almost 1,500 metres (5,000ft) above sea level, on the way to Willow Springs. There will be a brief stop at a visitor centre where you can wander through the fascinating exhibits, see a desert tortoise habitat and a browse the souvenir shop.

Neon Happy Hour and Fremont Street Experience

Your neon happy hour tour begins outside the incredible Downtown Container Park. This modern take on a shopping center is built entirely out of repurposed shipping containers, Container Park plays host to boutique shopping, delicious eateries, art galleries, a soaring playground, and concerts and programming throughout the year. After your guide gives you a brief intro to the tour and the fascinating Fremont Street area, you’ll head out - ready for some happy hour fun!

You’ll discover early on how the vivid lights of neon got their start as you reach the El Cortez. This classic hotel and casino is one of the oldest in town (originally built in 1941), one of the few casinos offering a full array of coin-operated slots - just like the good ol' days. It has a deep connection to the mafia presence in old Las Vegas - once owned by a group that included notorious gangsters Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky in 1945. If your guide decides to take you inside for your first drink, you’re in for a treat.

Next, you’ll then turn down East Fremont Street, which boasts an impressive collection of classic and modern neon signs and vibrant displays. Everywhere you look you’ll see the glow of the lights, as your guide points out special signs and his/her favourite designs along the way. There’s so much to see both on and just off of East Fremont: bars, breweries, pop-up art installations, classic Vegas icons and some of the best people-watching in the world! Your guide will be sure to find a place for a drink that’s right up your alley. Who knows? Maybe you’ll get your drinks to-go, another the unique experience that Las Vegas allows.

As your guide leads you under the massive lights of Fremont St., you’ll get a chance to pass by attractions such as the newly-opened Cannabis Museum, a neon wall, and a neon-themed wedding chapel. As you walk down the street, watch zip-liners soar over your head and marvel at a giant martini glass-shaped bar (formerly a pool!). Your guide will share the history behind some of the classic neon signs you’ll see along the way, including, of course, the world-famous Vegas Vic of the Pioneer. You’ll also pass by the iconic marquees of the Golden Nugget and Binions. Both these hotels have been featured in many movies set in Sin City, so you’re sure to recognize them!

As part of your happy hour experience, you’ll enjoy a couple of happy hour drinks and a delicious snack with your guide. After drinks (or possibly with drink in hand) take it all in as you pause for a few minutes for a spectacular light show on the canopy strung above you on the street, known as the Fremont Street Experience. This dazzling production choreographs over-1,500 feet of lights with music from both decades past and today - a must see for Las Vegas visitors.

At the end of your tour, there are so many options to continue your epic night in Downtown Vegas. Perhaps you’ll head inside a nearby hotel for a final drink, or maybe follow your guide’s recommendation for dinner. Whatever your plans are after your tour, you’re sure to be radiating enthusiasm for all things Vegas!

Grand Canyon West Rim and Heli Tour

Our first stop is a photo spot at Hoover Dam, an arch-gravity dam found on the borders of Nevada and Arizona and controversially named after US President Hoover. Then we visit the incredible 900 year old Joshua Tree Forest, Eagle Point and Guano Point with plenty of time to explore the enchanting natural surroundings. Have a romantic picnic lunch at the rim or at the Western Town, stroll the boardwalk of the Hualapai Ranch & Western Town and see Native American Dancing and Dwellings (the Skywalk is not included in the tour and is optional for an additional fee payable locally). Now time for the Helicopter Flight! Soar like an Eagle on a breathtaking flight over the rim to the bottom of the Grand Canyon in one of our fabulous EC 130 Jet Helicopters. While on the floor of the canyon you have time to explore and take photos at this amazing location and then you’ll fly another stunningly beautiful route 4000 feet up, returning to the rim viewpoints. This trip truly is unique and with incomparable views, it is an absolute must whilst here on holiday.

Highlights:

• See all the iconic locations from a brand new perspective
• Lots of time to explore the natural environment around you
• Fly over the most breathtaking views by helicopter
