Bus Tours

Bus tours in Las Vegas are the city’s most popular way to see both the Strip and the surrounding natural wonders, making up 37% of all tours sold here. With 478 options, these tours cover everything from club-hopping on the Strip to day trips to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and even Los Angeles.

Travelers choose bus tours for convenience and variety: whether you want to party, explore nature, or sample regional wines, there’s a group or private option. 92% of tours are rated 4 stars or better, and most include extras like hotel pickup, guides, or meals, depending on the price tier.

With 478 bus tours on offer, Las Vegas has more options in this category than any other type of tour in the city. Prices start at $100 for a night out and climb to $399 for a wine-focused experience, with a median price of $250—higher than walking, food, or cultural tours, which cluster around $125. This reflects both the longer distances covered and the number of private or small group tours available.

Most travelers pay between $100 and $300 per person for a full-day or half-day experience. The higher median compared to other categories is driven by the many private and luxury options, but budget-friendly group tours still exist, especially for the Strip or Hoover Dam. Only 8% of bus tours are rated below 4 stars, so satisfaction is high across the board.

Compared to the rest of Las Vegas tours, bus tours offer the broadest range of experiences: from city nightlife to scenic escapes, with the convenience of transportation and a guide included in most cases.

Choosing the right Las Vegas bus tour depends on what you want out of your trip. For nightlife, party bus crawls like the Las Vegas Strip Nightclub Crawl (from $100) are the lowest-priced options, focusing on club access and a lively group atmosphere. If you want to see natural landmarks, tours to Hoover Dam or Valley of Fire start around $125-$180, typically including hotel pickup, bottled water, and a knowledgeable guide. For something unique, the 4-Hour Private Hidden Hot Springs Tour near Death Valley offers a quieter, more personal escape at $175, with private transportation and a focus on relaxation.

Full-day and long-distance tours, such as those to the Grand Canyon or even Los Angeles, range from $299 to $300. These generally include entrance fees, snacks or lunch, and multiple sightseeing stops. The Las Vegas Wine Tour Experience, at $399, is at the top end, offering wine tastings and food pairings in a small group setting. Most tours in the $125–$300 range cover all transportation and major admissions, but check what’s included—meals, gratuities, and hotel pickup can vary.

The best-rated tours share a few things: guides who are friendly, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to personalize the experience. Reviews highlight guides taking photos, adjusting itineraries, and offering local tips. Small group sizes and private options get especially strong praise for comfort and attention to detail.

What disappoints people is rare but worth noting. Some reviews mention missed stops (such as not making it onto the bridge on a Hoover Dam tour), or lack of hotel pickup on certain tours like the Hot Springs or Kayak options. A few guests expected more inclusions, such as meals or gratuities, which are not always provided. These are minor compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback, but it’s worth double-checking the itinerary and what’s included before booking.
