DAY2 Fresno - Las Vegas:

Las Vegas is a city of wonders, odds, and oddities, and offers much more than just gambling to entertain every member of the family. On the Las Vegas Strip, tourists can enjoy a walk on a warm desert evening and visit the newest and most lavish casinos: the Bellagio, the Venetian, the MGM Grand, or The Mirage, and more. Explore on your own, or take a Special Night Tour* of Las Vegas, which includes a dazzling light show that spans an entire street. Furthermore, there are countless one-of-a-kind performances year round, ranging from the bizarre, to the magical, to the flat-out legendary that can be found nowhere else but Las Vegas. Here, where the city doesn’t sleep, we’ll spend our third night.

OR Barstow - Death Valley National Park - Las Vegas (Nov 24 - Mar 20, 2012)

Death Valley is arguably one of the most beautiful valleys in the world. Looking out from Zabriskie Point, you are surrounded by forbidding, almost unearthly, desert landscapes. These are the badlands. Beneath the dark shadows of the Black Mountains, a great, extraordinarily flat expanse of shimmering white spreads out before you: the Bad Water. At 282 feet below sea-level, it is the lowest spot in the Western Hemisphere. Step onto the trail and you'll see that the white expanse is made up of billions of crystals of almost pure table salt! After leaving this stunning park, we’ll head back to Las Vegas. Upon arrival in Las Vegas, you will have a choice of joining a Special Night Tour*, which will show you the best of what Las Vegas has to offer, or exploring the city on your own. Overnight stay in Las Vegas.

*Optional activity; fee not included in tour price. See “Exclusions” for cost details.

Standard Hotel: Excalibur Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV or similar

DAY3 Las Vegas - Grand Canyon South/West Rim - Las Vegas

Today we will make our way to the Grand Canyon, one of the most spectacular examples of water’s erosive power. Carved by the Colorado River beginning as much 17 million years ago (according to recent studies), this stunning natural wonder is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and more than a mile deep. Canyon National Park is a designated World Heritage Site and is incomparable with its vistas of sheer drops and cliffs marked with different geological strata dating back billions of years. We’ll spend the day along the South Rim of the Canyon, stopping at various viewpoints along the way and admiring this glorious work of art that could only have been sculpted by nature and time. Then return for an overnight stay at our hotel in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas - Hoover Dam - Grand Canyon West Rim - Las Vegas

From Las Vegas, we’ll make our first stop of the day at the magnificent and massive Hoover Dam, built during the Great Depression to harness the power of the Colorado River. We’ll then travel on to the Hualapai Indian Reservation, located on the West Rim of the Grand Canyon*, and its famous Skywalk*. Created by David Jin of the Hualapai Tribe, the Skywalk extends in a U-shaped platform 70 feet over the edge of the Grand Canyon, and about 4,000 feet above its basin. With a 10 foot solid glass floor, you’ll have a view of the Canyon below like nothing you’ve ever seen – the closest thing to floating in thin air. You may also elect to experience the Grand Canyon from both above and below: the adventurous among you won’t want to miss the Helicopter and Pontoon Boat Ride*. Later, we’ll return to our hotel for a night’s rest.

*Optional activity; fee not included in tour price. See “Exclusions” for cost details.

Really did not regret joining this tour. Not only was the places of attractions beautiful and are must-gos, you will meet many wonderful friends from all around the world and learn about their home country without being there physically. I think this money was well-spent and you have to try it to know its awesomeness

The trip gone pretty smoothly, its pretty rushed at Grand Canyon and we waited 1 hour for the bus, which i'm not sure if its miscommunication between the guide and the Canyon bus driver. The guide gave an extra stop if we are punctual in returning to the bus. The guide's english is so-so, and few tourist had difficulties understanding the itinerary, but just validate with him on the way. They're usually helpful just to make sure the trip went smooth and less waiting time for all. Overall, its a pleasant trip, the hotel is not bad (Excalibur in LV). But take note of waiting time for other tourist who tends to be late.

We had a great time and had Lankun as our tour guide. She was informative, lively and ensured that no one got lost. Handled a situation very well, when a couple had got on to the wrong bus. Hotels Four Points Sheraton and Excalibur were really good hotels. We had good time and will travel with GotoBus again.

My in-laws had a great time on this tour and according to them, the tour was relaxing, systematic, impressive, enjoyable and well -organized with no hitches. They had a very good driver by the name Henry. They stayed at Four Points in Fresno City and had a good stay after their Yosemite Valley visit. They stayed at Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas and had a comfortable stay. The only problem they faced was vegetarian food since the tour catered to the chinese groups and the eating joints were also catering to their tastes. They suggested that vegetarian people should carry enough food for the trip and be well stocked. Their suggestion to the tour operators would be to cater to vegetarian food.

Overall, the 4-day Yosemite, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon tour I took on Nov 9th was a very good tour. We were lucky to have Charles as our tour guide. He is quite a gentleman, very organized, and very knowledgeable. His English is perfect. And he sang very well, too. (Did not have chance to say thanks and good bye to him when we had to transfer to another bus to go back to San Francisco, so here it is :-)) Good choice of hotels for the tour: Four Points Sheraton in Fresno is excellent, Circus Hotel in Las vegas is as good as well. Big room & king zize bed for one person, so it's worth all the money! But "All you can eat buffet dinner" at Circus Hotel is the worst. I had to buy a small bottle of red wine there to swallow down some of the food!

We were a party of 5, including my parents who were vegetarian traveling from India on the Memorial day weekend. The bus was very comfortable. Our bus had a mixture of folks from all over the world but mostly Indians. The bus started on each day at roughly 6:30am. The tour guide Todd was quite amazing making sure that none of the passengers were ever lost. There is ample time in Las Vegas, Yosemite. The time in grand canyon may be a little less. The tour guide and bus driver were very friendly and stopped the bus at regular intervals of 2hrs for restroom stop, which was very good. The longest without stop was 2.5 hrs on the way from Las Vegas to Bay Area. There was ample vegetarian food on the trip for those who are willing to eat pizza, bread, salad. On the way back there is a sushi buffet and an Indian place for the vege-folks. On the whole a pleasant experience for folks who want to travel without the hassle of driving and who have less time to see 3 great places. The reason I gave 4 stars and not 5, is cause I wish they made the number of stops to at least 2 viewing points of the grand canyon and not just the mother point.
