Lip Smacking Foodie Tours is the most Yelp-reviewed food tour in Las Vegas and it was one of the…read moreanchor activities during our stay in Las Vegas. [Food tour options]: The food tour company offers multiple food tours. The original and most popular signature tour is Savors of The Strip (3 hottest restaurants located inside and adjacent to Aria Resort & Casino - $215 per person). There are also other interesting tours like the followings: # Savory Bites & Neon Lights (Savors of The Strip + 12- to 15-minute helicopter flight - $350 per person) # Chinatown Speakeasy Lip Smacking Tour (Màs Por Favor, GYU+ Social Lounge, and Lullabar - $125 per person) # Michelin & Iron Chef Experience (Joel Robuchon, L'Atelier De Joel Robuchon, and Morimoto - $499 per person) # MGM Grand Lip Smacking Tour (Morimoto, Craftsteak, and Luchini - $199 per person) # Mandalay Bay Lip Smacking Tour (Libertine Social, StripSteak, Orla - $175 per person) # Arts District Craft Cocktail Crawl (5 lounges and speakeasies - $99 per person) # Downtown Lip Smacking Tour (Carson's Kitchen, Le Thai, Oak & Ivy, 7th & Carson - $135 per person). # Afternoon Culinary Adventures (4 restaurants located within The Venetian/Palazzo and the Wynn - $149 per person) [Food allergies or dietary restrictions]: The tour company is a specialists in this area including vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian. Dishes can also be modified to omit seafood, gluten, nuts, dairy or other allergens. 24 hours' advance notice is required for the public experience. *** Downtown Lip Smacking Tour $135 Per Person at 1:30 PM *** Our tour was led by Nanette, who has been with Lip Smacking for approximately 5-6 months. Our party met her at Carson's Kitchen and the tour started promptly at 1:30 PM. The other party didn't show up so the public experience unintentionally turned into a private experience with just our party. Since there was additional leftover food due to the no-show from the other party, our party was able to take some of the additional leftover food back to our hotel. Our guide also took pictures of our party throughout the tour and gave us a one-time-download QR code to scan and save those photos for free. Our guide also went over the history of Downtown Las Vegas and Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos)'s $350 million Downtown Project (the revitalization of the Fremont East Entertainment District and its surrounding area in Downtown Las Vegas). [Carson's Kitchen - Crispy Chicken Skins, "Devil's" Eggs, Young Beets, Killer Shrimp]: I had been to this eatery in 2022 and wasn't quite impressed with chicken skins, but this time our party was presented with additional dishes and I actually liked the Killer Shrimp and Devil's Eggs. [Le Thai - Crispy Spring Roll, Waterfall Beef, Chicken Pad Kee Mow, Short Rib Fried Rice]: Waterfall beef, short rib fried rice, and pad kee mow were good and hit the spot. Our party paid extra for a separate Thai iced tea and it was surprisingly good - a very balanced drink and not overly sweet. [Oak & Ivy]: I got myself a mocktail and it was decent. [7th & Carson - Curry Pasty, Grilled Pear + Burrata, Potato Gnocchi]: The no-show party ordered Carson Cooler (Absolut Elyx, blood orange, thyme, cucumber, lemon, honey) and the tour guide gave the drink to our party for free - apparently the drink was amazing and tasted very refreshing. Out of the three dishes, the potato gnocchi was the best one with a crispy texture from the kale, tender short rib, and chewy gnocchi. [Conclusion]: The tour lasted 2.5 hours and it was worth every penny. Not only did our party have completely full stomachs and skip same-day dinner, but our party also had so much leftover food that we ended up giving a portion of the leftovers to other friends and still had enough leftovers to skip lunch the following day. I would definitely consider doing another Lip Smacking Foodie Tour next time our party comes to Vegas. P.S. - Please don't forget to tip the guide. Our guide even had a spare umbrella and it came in handy as it actually rained during the first part of the tour.

We recently did the Best Desserts in Las Vegas Tour and it was fantastic. Each desert was the…read morerestaurant's specialty. We also added the drink package to our tour which gave us a paired cocktail or libation. We went to Gordon Ramsay Steak, Spago, Mastro's Ocean Club and ended at Chica. For the most part it was a walking tour and that was really lovely to have that time in between courses. The venues were not too far from each other. Our group was guided to a private dining room at each restaurant, where we were able to converse with all the different people on the tour. The food and drink came out quickly, efficiently, and was delicious at all venues. Once we got our desserts, the chefs came out to explain what we were eating and greet us. That was a lovely touch. If we had to critique one thing it would be that the leadership could have been a little more engaging with the guests as the night wore on. At the last venue, there was a large presentation that most of the tables missed because we weren't given a heads up that it was going to happen. There ended up being some confusion on whether or not that was the finale. We feel that an announcement should've been made ahead of time as we were seated, so we as the guests knew what to expect. Overall, we loved the tour, have told all of our friends and we cannot wait to do another one. Thank you so much.!

*** This review is for the downtown experience ***…read more Funny how their company involves the name " foodie". There was nothing "foodie" about this tour. Should be called- " deep fried bar food after midnight tour". The restaurants on our list did not showcase their specialty known for items that they are proud of. Instead they just shlepped 3 to 4 of their cheapest mostly fried appetizer food items on our table without explanation ( EXCEPT Carson Kitchen, the waitress was extremely sweet and attentive and informative. However the offerings AGAIN were akin to late night bar food). The worst part? We are locals. And fell for this " foodie"drivel. And oh, reaching a customer service agent? Good luck! Thats a whole other Yelp review. Absolutely nothing that these restaurants served would entice us to return. Lesson learned!

At 7th & Carson Restaurant, both the owner and chef visited our table to make sure our food and service was outstanding. We had fish and chips, chicken and waffles, salad and special sauces. Dessert was elegant and delicious. At Bin 702, we tried two types of sandwiches, a Cuban and a Brie with apple and honey. Both were unbelievably tasty. The next place we visited was Pinches Tacos where we were delighted with their homemade taco and guava flan. Even though we were full, we couldn't resist eating every bite. We finished the evening with ice cream at Wafellato that did not disappoint us. Yum! Sandy was very knowledgeable about Las Vegas history and folklore. She was delightful.

My wife and I visited the AYCE Buffet at Palms Casino and were having a very enjoyable day…read more Unfortunately, an uncomfortable interaction at the ice cream station affected our experience a little. When I went to get pistachio ice cream, I noticed other guests using small plastic cups. I picked up one from the dessert station and handed it to Danny, the ice cream server. His initial reaction was to ask, "Where did you get that cup?" He then explained that those cups were intended for the desserts along the buffet line. I assumed they could also be used for ice cream since they were in the same area, and I had seen other guests using similar cups. I suggested maybe a sign would help as well. I completely understand that staff members have procedures to follow, and I respect the establishment's rules. However, I felt the situation was handled in an unfriendly manner, especially when he commented that it was a matter of "common sense." It made me uncomfortable to receive that response over something so minor that I had done without any bad intentions. I believe the situation could have been explained to me more courteously. On a positive note, our server, Will (if I remember his name correctly), was excellent and provided wonderful service. I appreciate his attentiveness and positive attitude throughout our visit. I am sharing this feedback respectfully and constructively. I understand that staff members may have difficult days and that there are procedures guests may not be aware of. However, kindness and the way employees communicate with customers make a significant difference. My intention is not to get anyone in trouble, but simply to share how a minor interaction could have been handled better and prevented an otherwise very enjoyable experience from being affected.

TL;DR - This company is a SCAM. Beware!…read more I usually lurk on yelp and rarely review, but this company and their level of unethical business practices have made me come out of lurking mode and inform future customers. This company is a complete SCAM. I had the exact same experience as Lorena. I purchased a 4 person dining tour on Groupon back in January 2014. I could not find many reviews or information of this company other than 1 article online and their Facebook page. I decided Groupon was a reputable company so I would go ahead and purchase this dining tour through Groupon and support a small business. Also this appeared to be the most affordable dining tour in Vegas. I regret it now. After I purchased my Groupon, I left the company 5-10 voice mails because no one ever seems to pick up. I finally decided to message them on Facebook, and I got them to say they confirmed and said they were having phone issues, which is why they never returned my call. I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt. From January to my trip in April, I never heard from them. About 2 weeks prior to my trip I tried to contact them to find a meet up time and location. Again, never heard back from them. This time I decided to get Groupon customer service involved. Groupon responded within 24 hrs and they tried on my behalf to reach their contact with the company. For a good week and a half they kept trying to get Las Vegas Dining Tours to reach me and no one ever did. Finally the day prior to my trip Groupon refunded me and gave me credit. I see that the first couple of pictures is posted by Elaine H. The owners of the company are Elaine Harris and Scott Harris. Where are your happy customer that uploaded pictures? And Scott your response back to Lorena is laughable. Is that your way of showing customer service? Scott is saying that being busy is no excuse to not respond back to Lorena. Really Scott, Answer me this, What about the money she lost, the money I lost? I only get a Groupon credit, I don't get cash back. How come you never returned any voice mails? Are you really trying to say that your phone problems lasts for months now? How come you never responded to Facebook messages? You can update your Facebook page status and upload pictures, but do not have time to respond to your customers? Look at another customer complaint on your Facebook page before you delete it. Ellie Cejer Why did you do a Groupon deal and not return phone calls or honor your offer???? Like · · April 23 at 10:30am How can you screw people over their hard earn money? They go on vacation to relax and you cause people stress! Now you have a deal on Yelp, Beware Yelpers, this company will scam you. You don't deserve to be robbed. Elaine and Scott Harris, you should be ashamed of yourselves. No one cares how many years of experience you have in the food industry. A swindler is always a swindler.

Excellent! Leo was our tour guide and we couldn't have asked for a better leader!…read more Chose the 8 am tour (they also have a noon one). A tour bus picked us up (and dropped us off) from/at our hotel. During the time we were on our way to "base" where the cars are lined up. Leo told us a little history about the town and some interesting places. It took about 20 minutes until we go to the base, and he explained how the process works, how to drive the cars, etc... The cars can go fast but you'll be doing 30 mph Max (if so). You'll be driving in bicycle lanes all the way up to the High Point, and you'll stop in 4 different spots along the way!! One thing I wish there was available would be bathrooms at base. The only bathrooms in our stops were the second stop and the last stop, and those are public restrooms, no need to say more! The second stop (after you get to base and drive) actually has a nice rest area with gorgeous back drops - perfect for Instagram (lol). Check the pic we took. This is the best social distancing activities and it's a great way to see the nature. Go in the 8 am slot tho...bring sunscreen and water will be provided in the second stop, however bring your own anyways. Highly recommend Leo and this tour.
