We had such a blast with Carlton and Brandon that I had to Yelp and let others know about this gem of an activity located 40 minutes from the strip. Do yourself a favor and get away from the craziness of Vegas by spending a day on Lake Mead. Our group included 2 families, with 4 kids aged 8-14. 2 of the kids had skied before and loved doing it again. One of our kids had never skied-- and Carlton had her up and going on the 3rd pull with such a great smile on her face. Our 8 year old was not quite ready for the skis yet, but found a new love in knee boarding. Both Carlton and Brandon were fantastic teachers for all of the different water sports. They were so patient, so professional, and so enthusiastic. They accommodated everyone's wishes for different activities, different ropes, different music, etc. I think everyone in the group would say it was the highlight of our trip. Even though the temperature was 108 that day, we all stayed cool with frequent jumps into the lake (perfect temperature!) between rides.
I can't say enough about the day. We had signed up for 4 hours thinking we'd all be fried and tired after that long in the sun. When we found out the 3 hours had passed, we panicked as we were no where near ready to be done. The guys graciously offered to extend the day from 4 hours to 7 hours. The kids (I think adults too!) still weren't ready to be done!
Thanks again Carlton and Brandon! We had such a fantastic time!
