Hi:
I can't shed a whole lot of light on the subject but I took the express trip from Gray Lines. Someone had suggested it to me. I was just so tired from walking the strip I needed a respite.
A bus collects all the tourists from the different hotels and brings them to the terminal with all the grace and charm of the US Army. Attitude was kind of like it would be a great industry if it wasn't for the "frekin tourists."
Our bus driver was ok though and we stopped at the Ocean spray processing plant enroute. It was interesting. I really didn't expect much other than a rest on this trip, I mean, come on, how excited can you get about seeing a dam? WRONG!!!

Wow, it was absolutely awesome! Very interesting and just incredible. I love it when yu don't expect anything and get your socks blown off! Only problem was that due to a thoughtless couple on the tour the bus was late returning which angered many who had early show tickets and would be late or couldn't go at all as a result. While I had no where to go and all night to get there, I felt bad for them. so if you go one one of these trips, things happen and don't plan things too closely.

Don't rely on "Action tours"
