Bright Lights Vegas at Night Tour

The Bright Lights City Tour is Pink Jeep Tours' after-dark sightseeing run through Las Vegas in a custom open-air Jeep Wrangler. A guide collects a small group from most Strip hotels and spends about three and a half hours cruising the neon, narrating landmarks, history and trivia along the way.

The evening opens with a photo stop at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, then rolls past Wedding Chapel Row and the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop of Pawn Stars fame into Downtown and Fremont Street's LED canopy. Back on the Strip you pass the Sphere, the big resorts and the Bellagio fountains, and the night finishes with a spin on the High Roller observation wheel high above the LINQ.

It is unapologetically touristy, and most of the night is spent riding rather than walking, with brief stops and no meal. The open-air Jeep is both the draw and the drawback: great for photos and warm evenings, but you will want a jacket in winter and should expect wind and desert heat in summer. For first-timers who want the lit-up highlights, a guide's commentary and a High Roller ride bundled together without driving themselves, it delivers.
