Strip & Downtown Sightseeing
Prices & schedules checked October 27, 2026
You do not need a casino-show ticket to see Las Vegas. The High Roller, a hop-on hop-off bus and a late-night open-top loop cover the Strip lights and downtown neon with products we could verify by ID. We deliberately omit trademarked residency and Cirque show names as bookable SKUs — those change by season and seatmap; buy them on the venue’s own site if that’s your plan.
Viator and GetYourGuide prices change often, so we don’t quote them: the booking buttons open the live listing, where you’ll see today’s price, times and cancellation terms. Facts on this page come from the operators’ own sites and verified catalog titles.
We may earn a commission when you book through our links, at no extra cost to you. Details
