From the busy casino floors to the bright lights at night on the Strip, it’s hard to get a handle on this vibrant city. But a great way to get a grip on Las Vegas is through a tour—you can do everything from backstage tours of shows to mob tours and soaring helicopter tours.
Sin City’s naughty image stretches back to the 1930s when the town was ruled by the mob—Chicago gangsters, Meyer Lansky, the works. And despite the fact that the mafia days ended in the ’80s, these mob entanglements shaped much of modern-day Vegas, for better or worse, and you can learn all about those years and the nefarious tough guys who ruled them through several mob tours.
Another surprising facet of Las Vegas is its proximity to nature. Don’t believe it? Then get whisked away by one of the many helicopter tours. You’ll get a chance to see the Grand Canyon in all its awe-striking glory or, if natural wonders aren’t your thing, you can see the glittering city lights in a spectacular panoramic nighttime display.
Read on for more information on these unique Las Vegas tours and find out just how many faces Sin City has.
