41 Tour itinerary & departure info Tours that depart from Las Vegas usually do not spend any time sightseeing in the city. The exception is our Las Vegas New Years Eve tour. It’s important that you make the most of any time you have in the city before your tour departs or on your return.

Born to shop? The best place to start in Vegas is at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, where you will find all the boutique’s you need. The Grand Canal shops are another great choice, along the Venetian waterways at the Venetian. But if you’re after something a little less pricey then check out Fashion Show Mall, with 7 flagship department stores and over 250 different shops you are covered. It’s also an attraction in its own right, with an 80 foot catwalk through the middle, and shows nearly every day.

Hungry? Why not go straight to the top and dine in at Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill. The chef, famous for his celebrity connections, provides amazing meals at fairly reasonable prices. Plus it’s on the Casino Floor of the MGM Grand. For a good ‘home cooked’ meal, check out Company American Bistro, located in the Luxour Hotel and Casino… backed by some famous names, it’s great for celebrity spotting over good old comfort food with a French twist.
