Grand Canyon South Rim Tour

Take a bus tour of the South Rim, which boasts many lookout points, museums, Native American artwork, sculptures, and more. Plus, the bus conveniently escorts you directly from Vegas so you don’t need to worry about the hassle of parking (a big relief in the Grand Canyon).
Getting In: Grand Canyon South Rim Tour tickets are available as a premium attraction option with the Go City® Las Vegas passes.
Hop-on Hop-off Las Vegas Bus Tour
If you’re new to the city or haven’t previously seen much beyond the Strip, then a bus tour of Las Vegas is in order. You’ll see many of the top sites throughout the city, from the big hotels on the Strip to the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign, and trendy areas downtown. A hop-on hop-off option is a smart choice, too, because it gives you the flexibility to choose where to stop and explore.
There are two routes to choose from – the Strip Route, and the Downtown Route. Both have buses that run approximately every 20-30 minutes giving you plenty of time to hop off wherever you fancy.
Getting In: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Las Vegas tickets are included with the Go Las Vegas pass.
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas
Pay a visit to Las Vegas’ own little slice of Hollywood. A visit to Madame Tussauds is a great option for those who love the glam life and can’t get enough of celebrities and pop culture. Explore several themed areas, from Viva Las Vegas to Music Icons. In addition, several areas focus on majorly popular franchises, like The Hangover films and Marvel Superheroes.
Getting In: Madame Tussauds Las Vegas tickets are included on all Go City® Las Vegas passes.
High Roller Observation Wheel
Getting a view from above is always a great idea when you’re talking about a city with a skyline as impressive as Las Vegas. Just picture all the lights, signs, larger-than-life designs, and more –all from the perfect vantage point. Take a ride to the top of the High Roller Observation Wheel for some of the best views in the city.
Enjoy a 30-minute ride up to 550 feet above the ground and snap those perfect Instagram shots. When you're done, explore the LINQ area with its shops, restaurants, and other fun activities.
Getting In: Las Vegas High Roller Observation Wheel tickets are included with all Go City® Las Vegas passes.
Hoover Dam Tour
Another great option for getting out of the city and into the beautiful Nevada wilderness is with a trip to the magnificent Hoover Dam. This marvel of modern engineering is a sight to behold and is a can’t-miss attraction for fans of architecture or history. It’s actually a National Historic Landmark and showcases an important time in the history of the American Southwest.
Insider Tip: walk along the Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge for the best views and photo ops of the Hoover Dam and Colorado River.
Getting In: Hoover Dam Tour tickets are included with the Go Las Vegas pass.
Eiffel Tower Experience
Enjoy a walk through the most scenic areas in Paris without the hassle or expense of a trans-Atlantic flight. Stroll past magnificent buildings like L’Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, and of course, the Eiffel Tower itself. Afterward, ride in an amazing glass elevator to another exhilarating observation deck, where you’ll get panoramic views of everything from the Parisian scene below to the farthest reaches of the Strip.
