Why Take a Vegas Tour?

This is one of the biggest questions I get.  Why take a Vegas Tour? To take a day or a half day out of your vacation to ride a bus or whatever and see something that you probably already have seen on television or the web.  Why??

The question may answer itself.  Remember the first time you thought about traveling to Vegas?  You read the books, saw the documentaries and talked to friends who have been here.  You thought you knew what you were walking into.  Than you got here and realized that everything you saw and read didn’t really capture the Vegas you were now experiencing in person?

Same thing with a tour.  You may have seen the video on Hoover Dam.  But when you see it in person and hear it’s story, you realize just how truly incredible it really is.   Passing through Boulder City, you get a bit of a chuckle to think that this company town was once larger than Vegas.  Than you get that first look at Lake Mead and in silence wonder “They built all that out here??”  To think to yourself that maybe you should have done this first??

Or to drive a few miles out from the strip.  To see just how red the rocks of Red Rock Canyon really are.  As you stand there on the overlook, you realize there is not a camera in the world that could capture that amazing piece of geological beauty you are now staring at.  The shapes, the unique placements and all the geological and early American history tucked in one little area, so close to such a major metropolitan city?  How could you have missed that??

Even the simple walking tour of the Strip can give you a completely new perspective on everything you ever thought about when you heard the words “Las Vegas”.  You start to understand how the history and world events can shape a city and it’s people.  The reason we are the entertainment capital of the world or even the real reason why you are staying at the hotel you are staying at.

It’s all right there.  Hidden in the open for you to discover.
