Where your expert guides will share the fascinating story of the area’s history, from the unique geology of the Red Rock region to the Native American tribes that inhabited the land for over 10,000 years, you’ll gain insight into millions of years of Vegas history all the way to modern times.

This unforgettable tour offers both breathtaking sights and rich cultural history.
*Utimate Red Rock Experience: See all of the above with this option
*Award Winning Tour* and *Ultimate Red Rock Experience Tour only*: Come along on a journey through time from the when the Native Americans lived on this land, then transformed to a camp for bandits, to a working cattle ranch and finally as a home to Hollywood stars, billionaires, and the richest man in the world Howard Hughes. This is perhaps the most historic home in Southern Nevada and is a stunning oasis filled with wild Burros, huge beautiful trees, grassy pastures, lakes and springs and a gorgeous old west home.
*Award Winning Tour* and Ultimate Red Rock Experience Tour only: Welcome to Blue Diamond, a true old west mining town that dates back to the 1800’s. Built for workers of the Blue Diamond Mine, this super cute and quaint tiny town in the middle of the gorgeous Red Rock Canyon conservation area has everything you’d want in an old west mining town - cute homes including a historic home on the Old Spanish Pioneer Trail, it’s own general store, church, and wild Burro’s frequently walking through the town! Stop for a snack and break at a quaint restaurant with a chill patio where you can take in the tranquility and awesomeness of the surrounding giant mountains and desert scenes.
