Best Food Tour! (Especially if you have dietary restrictions or allergies)…read more If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, this is the tour for you!! My husband booked us a food tour and when he told me my expectations were not high. I've been to food tasting in the past but due to being a pescatarian, I usually left hungry and had to stop somewhere after to get food. That was not the case with Lip Smacking Foodie Tours. The took us to Carson Kitchen, La Mona Rosa, Oak & Ivy, Le Thai. We had food and drinks at Carson Kitchen, La Mona Rosa, and Le Thai and each place brought out multiple dishes to try. Oak & Ivy was a drink only and it was one of the best Mules we ever had. My husband loved every dish at each restaurant and I was brought out separate pescatarian/vegetarian version of the same dishes. When I tell you we weren't hungry the rest of the day, I'm not exaggerating. Throughout the tour, we also learned interesting fact about the area and the community. I am so happy we went on the tour and got to explore an area we probably wouldn't have went to and tried multiple restaurants. When we come back to Vegas, we will be coming back and we will be recommending this food tour to everyone!

Hi All I wish I had…read morean Lip Smacking Foodie Tour (LSFT) experience to share... instead, I had to cancel my reservation because I ate something that day (i wont mention where) and I had an upset stomach, so I could not attend the LSFT. I called to cancel the morning of my reservation. The male who answered the phone was not helpful at all. Basically he said no there would be no refunds if I cancel period. I called back to ask if I could have someone else attend in my place? Same guy, said no! I needed to be at LSFT at 5pm. I receive a text from LSFT at 4:38pm, saying what is the name of the person coming in your place? This is what the website says, "ARRIVE EARLY: Mandatory check-in 15 minutes prior to the posted start time of the tour. In fairness to those who arrive on time, we will depart promptly. Latecomers will not be admitted." Im on a vacation in Las Vegas, I am 45 minutes to 1hour away from the strip depending on traffic. How is anyone suppose to make it there in a 22 minute notice? LSFT needs to have better customer service. Apparently, I could have sent someone in my place, he should of said that on my first call as an option instead of cancelling? This is what their website says, "REFUND & RESCHEDULING POLICY: Tours are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded, rescheduled, or exchanged for any other date or time. Tickets, however, are transferable." Why was I not told about tickets being transferable? Instead I was told "No", someone cannot come in my place? This LSFT is $285. Would you be just little angry? Again, have options, people in Vegas are on vacation, situations happen. Offering me another date to come back, issue a certificate or gift card good for a year? Bad customer service, poor training, no follow up call from a supervisor or manager to say, I understand you could not attend, however here is what I can do....? For the record I am not a Karen! I really wanted to check out LSFT! I should be refunded 100% or issued a certificate for a later date!

*** 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!

Treated my boyfriend to the Downtown foodie tour for his birthday. This tour consisted of 3 stops:…read moreCarson's Kitchen, Therapy and 7th and Carson. Here were some positive and a very big negative with the company's customer service (see below). Positives: Carson's kitchen was great! They sat us right away and all the food was amazing. My boyfriend doesn't eat seafood so when they brought out the first course (deviled eggs), they left the caviar off. We also had the fried chicken skins, the rainbow cauliflower and a watermelon, feta salad that was so delicious. 7th and Carson was also great. The staff was friendly and gave us a nice rundown of the meal. The arugula salad with poached pears and burratta was so good, and the gnocchi with a mushroom cream sauce was also fantastic. The fish and chips were pretty good, but I only had a bite since we were pretty full and I'm not a big friend food fan. They also brought us a little dessert tart that was cute and just the right amount of sweet to cap the night. Cons: Therapy was very disappointing. I had read reviews previously and saw what was previously offered at each location, so when they brought out poke, crab salad and bruschetta it was a less than good surprise. As mentioned above, my boyfriend doesn't eat seafood and dispute adding that to the notes, most of the food at therapy was seafood. He tried to be a good sport and tasted the poke, but ended up leaving all of his food. As for me, I love seafood and I too was still disappointed. The poke lacked flavor aside from the very potent wasabi sauce on top, the crab salad/cake was not good. It was on a chunk of friend avocado. Warm/friend avocado is not a good flavor or texture for me and the crab salad was not good. Too much red bell pepper that overpowered the flavor of the crab. The bruschetta was fine and the only thing my bf touched there. Final and biggest negative for this review is for the finger licking foodie tour customer service. I saw it mentioned in another review but was so surprised at how rude the staff of the company was when I called after not receiving any confirmation information for our tour. I called the morning of our tour and the guy asked if I'd checked my spam. I was on my phone and didn't initially see it but did find it after a little searching. I then asked if there was anything I needed to do before showing up for the tour and he replied with the most annoyed tone "did you read the email". I had just owned the email and was trying to skim it quickly while on the call in case I had additional questions before we hung up and when I shared that and said I didn't want to waste his time trying to read thoroughly and again he said "well did you read the email yet". I've honestly never had someone be so rude, especially when I was being very friendly. Turns out there was nothing important specific that we needed to do except show up on time, easy enough to say on the phone (I was worried there was something extra I might need to sign to confirm or something). If he's the owner, he must not like his job, and if the owner is reading this and some of the other reviews it might be worth having a conversation or putting that person in a non customer facing role. As someone who works in CS, even on a bad day I wouldn't take it out on a customer who was approaching with kindness.

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.

Good morning ARMY! Wow, Vegas' temps are brutal this week. Summer started early…read more You may recall back in 2022 the Bellagio choreographed their fountains to BTS songs. At night we lined up along the balustrade and watched the show. It was so much fun seeing so many people show up. Bellagio is one of my favorite, centralized hotels on the strip. Lots of great photo ops around this Italian-inspired property. Water elements are prominent. Take note of Fiori di Como. Its a beautiful art piece in the main lobby. I love the vibrancy and colors of the glass flowers. It sets the tone of the of hotel: Elegance, grandness, and beauty. Fun fact, the artist is from WA state :) As you walk further into the hotel you'll get to see the Conservatory and Botanical Garden. It's free admission. The floral theme is detailed, creative, and enchanting. I didnt hear anything about the resort hosting/participating in any kind of any BTS fountain show this year so I guess Borahaegas 2022 at the Bellagio was just one of those "you had to be there" moments. However, the resort is a still nice place to walk around and escape from the heat plus they have clean bathrooms. They also have a free tram that connects to other hotels on the strip if you find yourself tired from walking. Stay hydrated and be safe out there in these extreme temperatures!

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.

I am just thankful groupon has been amazing and refunded my purchase price. Like the previous reviewer I also was unable to get in contact with anyone. I left several messages.

After given safety and driving instructions, we headed off to Red Rock Canyon. The ride is quite exhilarating, being on the open road with wind in your face and hair surrounded by visually stunning scenery.

It's a nice short getaway from the hustle and bustle of the strip and gambling. I highly recommend this tour.

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.
