Frederic Da Silva\u2019s Paranormal Mind Reading Magic is Out of this World!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lip Smacking Food Tours – Mmmmm Good! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people don\u2019t know Las Vegas has foodie tours. But I\u2019ve discovered it\u2019s the best way to sip and savor your way through town.<\/p>\n

Sample the hottest new restaurants on the Strip and downtown Fremont Street. The Lip Smacking Foodie Tour<\/a> lets you taste signature dishes with award-winning chefs at four to five restaurants.

Choose from Lip Smacking Boozy Brunch (weekends), Afternoon Culinary Adventures, Savors of the Strip and Savory Bites and Neon Lights, which even includes a helicopter ride over the glittering strip. Optional beverage package with signature cocktails is available.<\/p>\n

Our tour of Savors of the Strip started with a stop at Bardot Brasserie for King Crab Caesar and Roasted French Chicken Dip. Then we moved on to Julian Serrano for a taste of tapas and paella, which were sensational. At Estiatorio Milos, we tasted tomatoes like you\u2019re never had before in a Greek Salad, followed by octopus and Milos Special fried zucchini. Before dessert, we stopped at RetroSpecs and saw their unique eyewear, some worn by celebrities. The night ended with eye-popping desserts at Wolfgang Pucks\u2019 Cucina like tiramisu, limoncello panna cotta and cremoso.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur VIP dining tour lets guests experience many of Vegas\u2019 best restaurants in one outing and try multiple signature dishes from each one,\u201d said Contursi.

Pink Adventure Tours<\/a> Take You to the Great Outdoors<\/strong><\/p>\n

We got picked up at our hotel in a Pink Jeep for a 3-hour tour of the Red Rocks. Riding in their super-comfy Tour Trekker was a hoot as our tour guide drove us out to the serene Mojave Desert. Famous for its signature red hues, we oohed and aahed at the unique red rock formations, ancient pictographs and ruins of past civilizations. Encompassing about 197,000 acres, the area features a wide range of ecosystems, wildlife and multicolored views. Look for desert tortoises in a protected habitat at the Visitor’s Center. Pink Adventure Tours also offers a variety of other destinations from Las Vegas including Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and more. It was an experience we will long remember. Call <\/i>(800) 873-3662 for tickets!<\/p>\n
