The bus driver giving the tour while driving makes the trip very pleasurable. Really enjoyed the extra stops at the welcome to Las Vegas sign, the memorial bridge and lake mead overlook. The dam is a great place to visit.

In top of that they said the di picked us up and we were the ones miss the bus, are you serious?. Horrible experience!! They don’t want to refund my money. We have a special kid with us so just imagine waiting for the irresponsible bus!.
