Save on Sin City snack attacks with the Las Vegas pass

Food included: Nine signature dishes at three different restaurants

Downtown Las Vegas is an absolute treasure trove of old-school thrills and spills. For it’s here, in this former hangout of Rat Packs, cool cats and — oh ok then — organized crime bosses, that Sin City’s sizzling origin story began. This is a self-guided foodie tour that you need to take with at least one of your Vegas pass-toting crew. And, once you’re all buddied up, all you need to do is mosey on down to fabulous Fremont Street where your epicurean escapade begins. Just follow your nose (and virtual guide) to three (count ‘em) culinary hotspots where – no waiting, ordering or indeed reservations required – you’ll be delivered three delicious chef specialties pretty much as soon as you’ve sat down. That’s the magic of Vegas for ya. And – just in case your math isn’t on point – that’s a total of nine dishes in 2.5 hours. So it goes without saying that you should arrive hungry. Very hungry.

But the fun doesn’t stop there (does the fun ever stop in Vegas?). Suitably fortified and with your belt let out at least one notch, you’re in pole position for sightseeing some of Downtown’s top attractions. And — pro tip incoming — entry to several of them is included with the Las Vegas pass! Try a walking tour of Fremont Street, in which you’ll spot Rat Pack hangouts like the legendary Golden Nugget casino and pass by the Neonopolis wedding chapel — shotgun wedding presided over by Elvis, anyone? You can also dig deep into the history of organized crime (and practise your finest Al Capone impressions in the secret speakeasy) at the Mob Museum and follow the path to bright-lightenment at the illuminating Neon Museum.

Roll the dice on a Las Vegas Pass from Go City.

Food included: $25 dining credit

In the heart of the Strip, the Linq Promenade is a vast entertainment complex; a neon-lit mini metropolis that’s home to the High Roller observation wheel (one of the tallest on the planet, vertigo fans), alongside several bars, eateries, bowling alleys, VR experiences and more. It’s also where you’ll find the modestly monikered Favorite Bistro, a French-American fusion joint that serves up Gallic classics like quiche lorraine, onion soup, escargots and croque monsieur alongside all-American favorites — caesar salad, fried chicken sandwiches, cheesecake, breakfast eggs every which way and, well, you get the general idea.

Your Las Vegas pass entitles you to $25 towards a meal at Favorite Bistro which, you never know, might actually *become* your favorite bistro which, if nothing else, will make saying its name aloud feel less awkward. Anyway, 25 bucks is enough to cover a classic margherita pizza, a Hangover Burger, which is likely to come in handy if you’ve indulged in one of Sin City’s famous bar crawls (more on those below), or a plate of garlicky escargots (perhaps less advisable after a heavy night on the tiles).

Afterwards, take a ride on the High Roller, check out the Bellagio’s famous dancing fountains or say hey to The Rock, Khloé Kardashian et al over at Madame Tussauds, all within 15 minutes’ walk of the restaurant.

Food included: $20 credit

Whaddya mean you’re still hungry? Perhaps you’re in the mood for something sweet, and just a little sinful? Well, you’re in luck. Just a couple of minutes’ stroll from Favorite Bistro you’ll find Sweet Sin, a technicolor emporium of dentist-troubling desserts that includes gelato, cakes, crepes, waffles, macarons and more. Your Las Vegas pass snags you $20 to spend in this Wonka-esque kaleidoscope of sweet sweets. Stay on trend with a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup, indulge in sugary maple bar donuts, or chill with an iced coffee and classic banana split. Whatever you choose, you’re sure to get your… just desserts.

Drinks included: one drink in each of the three bars

As you might imagine, the nightlife in Las Vegas can get pretty wild. Protect your wolf pack by hooking up with an expert local host who knows the Downtown bars inside-out, upside-down and, indeed, back-to-front. Which is, of course, precisely how you might feel on the morning after the night before. But hey, you can worry about that later right?

You’ll meet your guide for the evening beneath the towering zipline at the Fremont Street Experience, a symbol of the high-wire high jinks in store for you as night falls on Sin City and neon lights lead your path to the first of three ultra cool Downtown bars.You’ll pay no cover, endure no lines and receive a drink at each of the three bars, while your host gives you the lowdown on local attractions between each bar-hop.

Afterwards, Vegas is your oyster. Hit up another bar, grab dinner at any one of dozens of world-class restaurants, high roll your way to a casino or, y’know, just head back to the hotel for that rarest of Las Vegas indulgences: an early night.

Drinks included: complimentary beverages on the party bus

Early night you say? Pah! We laugh in the face of early nights, especially in Las Vegas where all the real fun starts after sundown (and often continues until sun-up). The Vegas club scene is the stuff of legend, regularly drawing big-name international DJs, including the likes of Tiësto, David Guetta and Calvin Harris. But all that choice can get a little daunting for Sin City newbies. Which is where we — or, more accurately, our party-loving chums at the Vegas Rockstar Nightclub Tour — come in. 

This epic five-hour tour takes in two of the city’s most exclusive clubs, with VIP entry meaning you won’t have to wait in line with the hoi polloi. You’ll also get access to a premier ultra lounge, so be sure to dress to impress: you never know when you might run into a real live Kardashian out here. In between venues, you’ll ride the luxury party bus with your host – like the Vengabus but posher – with complimentary drinks served on board. It’s as good a way as we know to experience a slice of the legendary Las Vegas nightlife, and includes stops at the likes of Mandalay Bay, the Venetian and the MGM Grand.

Sure, visitors to Vegas might be tempted to get by on a diet of warm beer and casino chips at the blackjack tables. But if you want to broaden your flavor horizons, the Las Vegas pass from Go City has your back. Not only can it save you a king’s ransom in entry fees to city’s top attractions, it’s also your ticket to some of Vegas’s top foodie (and drinkie) experiences, including luxury nightclub tours, a rainbow of colorful desserts and some of Downtown’s top chef specialties.
