Las Vegas Tours & Holidays
There are cities… and then there’s Las Vegas.
Not many places can have you walk past an Egyptian pyramid, a half-size Eiffel Tower, a replica Roman palace (no, Caesar didn’t actually live there), a fiery volcano, a rollercoaster, a medieval palace and a musical fountain show - all on the same street. But hey, welcome to Wild West USA. Enjoy world-class dining, celebrity residences, mind-blowing performances, interactive museums, hair-raising thrills, shopping and more. Oh, and don’t forget the miniature indoor Venice or the nearby Grand Canyon National Park.
You’ve seen it on the big screen. Now, prepare yourself to step into a world of sequins, neon lights, oohs and aahs. Buckle up because Vegas, here we come.
It turns out all the glitz, glamour and gaudiness doesn’t have to end when you leave the strip. Introducing Fremont Street, one of the best places in Vegas if sensory overload is your thing. Packed with casinos, bars, shopping outlets, restaurants and attractions, a couple of hours spent here will ensure you go home with heaps of stories to tell. How about taking flight on a zipline super-hero style over a crowded promenade at SlotZilla? Or looking up at the Viva Vision Light Show, the world’s largest digital display? However you decide to spend your time here, you definitely won’t be disappointed.
After dark, the strip goes up in lights and the lights that happen to shine the brightest of all belong to Las Vegas’ famous casinos. From the towering shape of the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas to the picturesque canals of The Venetian, these casinos are here to give you an experience like no other. Whether you prefer taking a chance playing Blackjack or whiling away the time pressing buttons on slot machines, there’s a casino to suit absolutely everyone (remember to gamble responsibly, though; no one likes going home with less money than they budgeted for). But rest assured, there are many more things to do in Las Vegas besides gambling.
Talk about an epic view! Specifically designed to excite your senses and captivate your imagination, the fountains at Bellagio Las Vegas reach a staggering 61 metres and are expertly paired with music to create a truly breathtaking performance. With free shows on weekdays every 30 minutes from 3:00 pm to 7:30 pm, these fountains will lift your spirits and have you feeling the magic. Check out the FAQs at the bottom of this page for more performance times.
What happens in Vegas doesn't always have to stay in Vegas, and after witnessing the incredible natural wonder of the Grand Canyon, you'll want to shout about your experience from every rooftop you can get on. Normally, the Grand Canyon West is roughly a 2-hour drive (206 kilometres) from Las Vegas. You can skip the bumps and the games of 'I Spy' to embark on a 40-minute flight that'll take you straight to the UNESCO-listed site in the comfiest and most luxurious way possible. If you want a more in-depth look at the Grand Canyon and its surrounding parks, why not check out our Grand Canyon tours?
There's certainly no shortage of things to do in Las Vegas, especially when it comes to delighting your senses and strapping them in for a fun-filled night at one of the many shows you can experience. Be awed by the twisting, tumbling and death-defying acts of the Cirque de Soleil Las Vegas performers or laugh for a few hours at one of the many live comedy shows. For fans of magic, spend a few hours marvelling over logic-defying tricks at one of Vegas' many incredible live magic shows. Feeling overwhelmed? Ask your trip leader for recommendations on the top Las Vegas shows you can't miss.
After getting your feed on at one of Las Vegas' budget-friendly restaurants, why not hit the town? Just when you thought your Las Vegas trip couldn’t get any better, the sun goes down, the lights come on and the strip becomes abuzz with anticipation for the night ahead. This city is positively bursting with the best bars and clubs to kick your adventure up a notch. If you're not sure where to start, ask your trip leader. Chances are they'll have been to them all....twice.

Western USA National Parks Loop
Barbara · Traveled April 2024
This National Parks trip is a can't miss! The agenda is jam-packed in the best way, visiting Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, and Grand Canyon in the span of 5 days. Indy, our guide, was experienced, knowledgeable, and highly enthusiastic leading our group of 9 women. Certainly time well spent with a group I enjoyed getting to know. Some advice for those considering: it can get cold in the spring, so watch the weather. Bring snacks-- you'll work up an appetite staying active. If you can, do Antelope Canyon-- words don't do it justice.

Western USA Family Holiday
Claire · Traveled March 2024
Our holiday to Western America was nothing short of amazing! We travelled as a multi generation family, ranging from 67 to 13. We saw some of the best scenery ever, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon just to name a little of what we saw. Our tour guide Indy was brilliant, his knowledge of the area was absolutely incredible. We would 100% book an Intrepid trip again, we are already looking at where to go next.
Everything about our trip was just amazing! We've seen some of the best scenery Western America has to offer. Our tour guide Indy was just the best, super organised, and very knowledgeable. We would 100% recommend an Intrepid Trip to everyone :-)

The western national parks tour is an incredible adventure. It is unbelievable how much we saw in 5 days and yet I never felt rushed. Our guide was excellent and incredibly organized. Everything was so well planned and felt completely taken care of. It was literally stress free allowing me to focus on the incredible experiences and sights.
From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.
Depending on where you're travelling from, you can travel by plane or car to get to Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is a short flight away from neighbouring cities, and we offer trips that will take you from San Fran to Vegas and LA to Las Vegas.
Getting around Las Vegas is quite easy, with an extensive range of public transport and private transfer options.
The monorail is possibly the easiest and most popular form of transport for travelling along the Las Vegas strip, with the monorail arriving roughly every 6 minutes and stopping at 7 stations up and down the strip.
Otherwise, if you're staying at a hotel located on the strip, you can easily walk to various destinations. Uber rides are also easily accessible, as well as organizing private transfers via limousines and cars.
The legal age for gambling in any Las Vegas casino is 21. The same age also applies for consuming alcohol. If you’re underage, you can walk through the casino. Still, you cannot stop or congregate around a gaming area, even if an adult accompanies you.
Located in the Nevada desert, Las Vegas has a subtropical hot desert climate.
It can get up to 41°C in the summer (June to August) and down to as low as 4°C in winter (December to February), so make sure you’re aware of the forecasted temperature for your trip so you pack accordingly.
