Red Rock Canyon TourTour: Red Rock Canyon Tour
Pick upOur trip to Red Rock Canyon began at 12.20pm when we were picked up by a Pink Jeep next to the Planet Hollywood sign at Caesars Palace. Pink Jeep Tours picks you up from your hotel and delivers you back after the trip which is great.Tour timesWe chose the afternoon tour but in retrospect felt we should probably have gone for the morning tour because by the time we were up and dressed we didn’t have enough time to do anything much. So bear in mind your overall schedule when selecting tour times.About the Pink Jeep TourBob, our tour guide was so friendly and what immediately struck us was how new and comfortable the vehicle was. He frequently offered us bottles of water throughout the trip. The leather seats were almost like arm chairs (we didn’t realise at this stage how glad we’d be of them.)
Bob, our tour guide We picked up other guests from the
Venetian
and
Planet Hollywood
before heading off to Red Rock. There were seven of us on the trip which was a good number – small enough to make it quite personal.
Why this tour?We chose this tour because we were keen to explore some of the Mojave Dessert surrounding the Strip. We’d also heard that although the area is not well known by name we’d no doubt have seen it before as it’s appeared in films and adverts because it’s so striking.
How far away from the Strip is the Canyon?It wasn’t far to Red Rock Canyon. It took us under half an hour to drive out from the Las Vegas Strip to the Visitor Center which has a little shop, facilities and fantastic view ...
View from the Visitor Center WildlifeThe Red Rock Canyon State Park is home to the endangered desert tortoise and other wildlife. We signed declarations to say that we wouldn't pick up a tortoise if we saw one because it would threaten its life - sadly we didn't see any.What do you see on the tour?The tour was 13 miles and we stopped off at a number of points on the scenic route where we were able to see: Red Rock Canyon itself ...
Excellent tour guideThe tour was enriched by our tour guide’s extensive knowledge of the area. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer and he admitted to spending two hours on weekends learning more about the region – and it showed.To sum upFour hours was the perfect length for this trip. There was enough to see and do without your attention waning.
