| - A great way to spend 5 hours!
First off, I got a groupon deal for $125 for 2 people. Regular price was $125 a person. (I probably would have paid full price for the tour.)
They pick you up at pretty much any hotel on the strip. There's two times during the day (morning and afternoon). We did the afternoon tour, and they picked us up at Treasure Island. There was only another couple, and they picked them up at the Westin. They picked us up around 12:30pm. The shuttle driver was a young, motorcycle dude. He was very friendly and talkative. He then drove us to this storage area parking lot, where Eli, our tour guide was waiting for us. They go over the liability stuff and take some pictures for us ... then we're off!
The car itself was really easy and fun to drive. I actually, however, enjoyed being a passenger more. We then drive through the town and head to Red Rock Canyon. Your fee to Park is included in your Scoot City Tour fee. We take a stop at the visitor center, where you can have a bathroom break and look at some of the exhibits. (NOTE: This is where the cleanest bathrooms are!) We then head off through the canyon and stop at 3 stops to sight see. At each stop, Eli would talk to us, take our pictures, and wipe down our seats (to make sure they didn't burn us). After we left the park, we stop at Terribles Gas Station to gas up and get cheap cigarettes or booze.
Eli dropped us off at our hotel around 5pm. We tipped him $10. I think average tip ranges from $10-$20. We would have tipped him more if we weren't so broke.
Overall, great way to spend a day, driving in skittles across the canyon!
