Las Vegas Day Trips & Excursions

Antelope Canyon Day Trip Recommendation! I rarely post things like this unless the experience was genuinely amazing. We just finished our trip, and I sincerely recommend our tour guide, BIN. He was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire day! Before we even set off, BIN sent us a long and detailed list of things to note, explaining things like sun protection very clearly. The trip included a Subway lunch, and he specifically messaged us beforehand to ask what kind of meat everyone wanted. The attention to detail was really spot on! He was very punctual that morning! After we got in the car, he shared the onboard Wi-Fi with us. Along the way, he went over the day's itinerary, what to watch out for, and where we could take breaks, even showing us photos. The setup in the car was also great. Not only did he have tied-up trash bags ready, but he also stocked up on ice water, potato chips, and oranges. There was a great variety and plenty to go around! Once we arrived at the attraction, he gave us plenty of time to explore, so we didn't feel rushed at all. He enthusiastically helped us take photos and even went one by one to adjust the camera filters on everyone's phones. The pictures turned out amazing! After the trip ended, he even sent us a list of fun and free local attractions in Las Vegas. Incredibly considerate! If you are planning to visit Antelope Canyon, I sincerely recommend getting BIN as your guide!

Book this tour it is amazing. The landscapes are breathtaking . One of the most beautiful places if w er seen.

We had a wonderful experience at Upper Antelope Canyon! The scenery was absolutely stunning and the whole tour was well organized. Special thanks to our guide, Bin, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the trip. He also helped us find the best spots for photos. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time on the Transformers tour with Janos! Driving to the Valley of Fire in the Bumblebee Camaro made the whole experience so much fun, especially seeing the actual Transformers filming location!Janos was fantastic—super knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, and made us feel welcome from the start. He also took amazing photos for us throughout the tour, and stopped at multiple locations for photos and videos, which was such a bonus! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend his tours to anyone visiting Las Vegas, it was the highlight of our trip. 5 stars! We’ll be back in 3 years, Janos! 🤣

This was really amazing. All of us loved it. The guide was also really nice

We booked the Sedona day trip. Our fantastic drivers/guides were Michael and Ed. What an amazing day we had! We made several photo stops along the way going to Sedona. Absolutely breathtaking! They were so informative and really made sure we had a wonderful experience! They are a 10 out of 10! Thank you to them for showing us a great day!! Definitely would recommend Laughlin Tours and Sedona with Michael & Ed!

I'm a crazy Transformers fan and booked this amazing tour while on my journey to the places of Bayverse filming in the US Southwest. This is absolutely the best thing you can do in Las Vegas! Janos is an outstanding guide he (and Bumblebee of course!) made this tour unforgettable! He not only brought me to the magically beautiful places in the Valley and told many interesting facts about it but also showed what Bee's Camaro is capable of and the exact spots where TFs were filmed, told priceless stories about the filming itself and made amazing photos! We listened to Steve Jablonsky's music and I never have been talking that much about TFs in my entire life😂 Thank you so much, you made me so happy!

The Death Valley Tour from Las Vegas was unforgettable for all the right reasons! Raphael, our guide was amazing. He was friendly and accommodating from start to finish with extensive knowledge of the areas visited. Raphael knew all the best spots to get those iconic photos and was more than obliging in taking pictures of people in the group. We started off being picked up from the Luxor and after a quick stop at Treasure Island we were on our way. First stop was the Area 51 Alien Centre. It’s a glorified rest stop that sells overpriced Tee Shirts and alien merchandise but it was great fun taking photos and browsing what they had on offer. Raphael was on hand to take photos and offer information about Areas 51 and the surrounding areas. Next stop was Beatty, that sits not far from Death Valley National Park. Here we were able to see the Exchange Club Casino, a beautiful steampunk building that is the brainchild of artist James Henniger. It’s a work-in-progress and is absolutely beautiful. Built using reclaimed materials from nearby Rhyolite ghost town. You really do have to stand back and take in the details of this amazing building! From Beatty we drove to Rhyolite, an abandoned gold mining camp right on the edge of Death Valley. There we saw the remains of the school. bank, various offices and the saloon. This is where you can see the famous Tom Kelly bottle house built from roughly 50,000 beer and liquor bottles in 1906. It’s a genuine example and not a replica like the one at Calico. Next stop was Death Valley itself. As we entered the park the landscape became less and less hospitable. We stopped at the sign to get some photos and then drove to the Harmony Borax works where Raphael explained the mining process and the twenty-mule teams that were used to pull the carriages out of the mines. On to Furnace creek visitor centre for a photo next to the famous thermometer and a look around the nicely air conditioned shop and information centre where you can learn about the conditions, landscape and wildlife that live in the valley. A mile further down the road we stopped at The Death Valley Ranch, a luxurious oasis resort in the desert. Here we had around 45 minutes to get some lunch, an ice cream, browse the shop and museum and enjoy the lovely well groomed Californian resort. From The Ranch we drove south to Badwater Basin. This was the highlight of the trip for me. The otherworldly landscape is incredible. As you step out onto the salt flats and feel the overwhelming heat reflecting back, it’s a surreal moment. Don’t forget to look back towards the cliff to see the sea level marker high above you to really appreciate how far below sea level this place really is. A word of warning, do not stay out more than 5 or 10 minutes. Take you photos and retreat back to the air conditioning of your vehicle. The heat gets seriously dangerous in a very short time. From there we doubled back a bit and drove to Zabrinski point. A short hike up the hill on a well maintained path and this beautful badlands vista opens up before you with its gorgeous pastel colours and undulating terrain. Raphael advised on the best vantage points and angles to take the most impressive photos. Zabrinski point was the final stop on our tour and from there we returned back to Las Vegas via Death Valley Junction and through Pahrump. Raphael chatted and imparted information all the way as we drove.I would highly recommend this tour however, there are a few things to consider. It is a long day. In order to get the most out of it you need to be reasonably able bodied. There is a lot of getting in and out of the minibus with short hikes to some of the locations and the heat in August was brutal. I imagine Spring and Autumn are fantastic times to take this tour. You can view the locations from the minibus if you are not up to the extreme condition’s but I would recommend getting out at least for a couple of minutes to experience it. Take water. Plenty of it. There are restrooms at every stop (except Beatty and Rhyolite) but bare in mind that they have composting ‘desert’ toilets so take a small hand sanitizer in your backpack. There are fully serviced restrooms at Area 51 Alien Centre and Furnace Creek.These are no way negatives and, in my opinion, add to the authenticity of the desert experience. I just want people to be prepared so they know what to expect and can fully embrace it all.An absolutely unforgettable experience. Thanks Raphael for looking after us.

Wil was a great guide. We learned a lot. Great scenery.

Fantastic experience at Grand Canyon with professional driver / guide Taka who was very knowledgeable and provided water throughout the day and plenty of stops to visit restrooms and get refreshments. Myself and the family thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip and some good bonus stops at Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam view from Arizona side was breathtaking as were the views at Guano Point and Eagle Point at the Grand Canyon. Lunch also included was excellent value for money and an unforgettable experience. Thank you Taka and the team - highly recommend.

Excellent day and Brett was great he couldn't do enough and made sure everyone had a great time.

Excellent trip and very interesting. Our guide Edward was excellent and very knowledgeable about area and trip. Also our local guide was very good.

The private tour to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon was truly wonderful. Although it was a very long drive, we were able to visit all the major highlights, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable and fulfilling experience. The scenery at Zion was breathtaking, and Bryce Canyon was even more beautiful and unique than I expected. Our guide was also extremely kind and helpful. Even though it was very hot, they prepared things like air conditioning and water for us, which made the trip very comfortable. We were very satisfied with the overall experience. Considering that we were able to enjoy this kind of trip in a private setting at this price, I felt it was a great value. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit both Zion and Bryce Canyon efficiently and comfortably.

I recently took this private Zion and Bryce Canyon tour from Las Vegas, and it exceeded every expectation I had.Our guide was truly outstanding — knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about the parks. They took the time to explain the geology, history, and unique features of each location in a way that made the scenery even more meaningful. What really stood out was how warm and attentive they were throughout the entire trip, making sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of.The drive itself was long, but I never felt anxious for a second — our driver was calm, careful, and made the journey feel relaxed and safe the whole way.And the scenery? Words honestly don't do it justice. The towering red cliffs of Zion and the surreal orange hoodoos of Bryce Canyon are simply breathtaking. These are places you have to see with your own eyes.The private format made a huge difference — we could go at our own pace and really soak everything in without feeling rushed.Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Las Vegas. You will not regret it!

Fantastic tour and a great experience from start to finish. Max was an excellent guide—friendly, funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He brought the history of the area to life, explaining not only the story of El Dorado Canyon and Nelson Ghost Town, but also how they connect to the wider history and development of Las Vegas.I especially enjoyed learning about the geography of the region, the mining boom, and why Nelson played such an important role in southern Nevada’s early growth. Max answered questions with ease and shared plenty of interesting facts and stories along the way.The scenery was stunning, the history was fascinating, and Max’s enthusiasm made the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Las Vegas and looking to discover a different side of Nevada beyond the Strip.

Glamping was fun!! A little communication discord with management was my only complaint, otherwise the staff is so very nice. Brenda, Jason and Toni were very nice and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We were happy that the West Rim Skyview was nearby and included in our excursion package.
