Meeting and pickup
To maximize your time and minimize time spent on the bus, we limit the number of hotel stops for pickup. Our designated pickup locations are strategically placed along the Las Vegas Strip and in downtown, ensuring that your assigned pickup point will be either next to your hotel or just a short walk away. After booking, please contact us to confirm your exact pickup location. Your pick up location will be one of the following : GOLDEN NUGGET - 7:25am - At the bus pickup area next to Chick-Fil-A STRATOSPHERE - 7:35am - At the uber/lyft pickup area CIRCUS CIRCUS - 7:40am - Out the front underneath the giant clown sign TREASURE ISLAND - 7:50am - Outside the main doors to the right of the taxi/valet pickup area BALLYS/HORSESHOE - 8am - At the Uber/Rideshare pickup area PARK MGM - 8:15am - At the UBER/Rideshare pickup area EXCALIBUR - 8:20am - At the Rotunda Bus Pickup Area (which is located behind Starbucks) Please note: It's important to be at the pick-up location at the correct time, but there is a possibility that the bus could arrive at your hotel a few minutes after that time, as it has to visit other hotels first and traffic can sometimes cause the bus to be delayed.

1
We proudly offer a designated bus driver (for safety) and step-on tour guide (for entertainment and information). Our drivers do not double as tour guides. All of our fully air-conditioned buses have panoramic windows for optimal viewing opportunities, and bathrooms on board. Start your tour with pickup from select Las Vegas hotels and we don't take you to a central location to reload onto a different bus. You will go out on the bus you were picked up in. Limiting pick-ups and traveling on one bus allows us to save time and get back early. It can take hours to pull in and out of every hotel. By limiting pick-ups to 7 we are usually the first bus company to Hoover Dam. En route, your guide entertains and answers questions Hoover Dam, its history and/or the Las Vegas area.
