Description

The Area 51 Tour from Las Vegas takes you deep into Nevada's high desert to explore UFO hotspots and top-secret locations. This full-day adventure visits iconic sites tied to alien lore, from the unmarked Janet Airlines to the legendary Extraterrestrial Highway and Little A'Le'Inn, where you'll stop for lunch and try the famous Alien Burger.

The trip begins at Harry Reid International Airport, home to Janet Airlines—the secretive fleet said to shuttle workers to Area 51. You'll then travel through a rugged Joshua tree forest and stop at a dry lakebed, long rumored to be a hotspot for UFO activity.

Ride along the Extraterrestrial Highway, stopping for your included lunch at the Little A'Le'Inn, a UFO-themed diner filled with memorabilia and stories from past visitors. Afterward, visit the Black Mailbox, a famous meeting point for UFO hunters and believers.

Then arrive at the final stop: the heavily guarded Area 51 perimeter, where ominous signs, surveillance equipment, and restricted access create a chilling sense of mystery. With expert guides offering insight throughout the day, this tour delivers an unforgettable journey into the unknown.

We were already at the pickup point when David (our guide) arrived. We acknowledged his arrival by wishing him a very good morning and walked towards the transport when by David completely ignored us and continued passed us presumable looking for us. When eventually came back to the van we said was he looking for us. After confirming names, he yes, he was but he was looking for a male and female and not too males! We didn’t comment and just boarded the mini bus. On our way to collect the next guests David said” as we are picking up some other people who are couples would one of us like to sit in the front of the vehicle with him”? We were furious to say the least. David immediately assumed that as we were both males, we were just friend’s but we are also a couple as we robustly stated that to David. No apology just “Oh well…we’ll have to sort something out!” As for the stop off see the old main street of Boulder City and see historical buildings and markers. We didn’t see any of that we got out of the vehicle for 5 minutes and seen the big horn sheep and that was all! This was supposed to be a VIP trip but after squeezing 3 couples in the back of the vehicle it did not feel VIP to us. And then to add insult to injury just before my partner and I were due to be dropped back off at our hotel the office called to speak to David. The previous couple had left something in the vehicle but didn’t know what! After spending sometime looking for it we found a plastic cup. The office essentially demanded that he took the cup straight back and then drop us off after. So, we had to go all the way back to their hotel before we could then be taken back to our hotel. We were very annoyed at this point and again, this did not make us feel like VIPs at all. All in all, a very poor experience for what we thought was going to be a VIP trip to the Hoover Dam. There was no way this was a VIP trip. I found David to be extremely homophobic and, in this day and age, that is a very negative attitude and totally unacceptable behaviour. I would not recommend this trip to anyone. Look elsewhere.
