Being both a local and a writer that covers the city, it’s far and few between that I find new ways to view the Las Vegas Strip. Recently, I had such an opportunity—and it was totally fabulous!
I hopped aboard Cafe on the Strip, a unique experience that combines a scrumptious and cutesy high tea experience with a sightseeing tour of the famed Strip.
Tables that fit both couples and larger groups are set on the bottom and top of a double-decker bus, and the space is decked out in decor reminiscent of a quaint English-inspired cafe and garden. Huge windows provide optimal viewing of all the sights (but we suggest snagging a table on the top level for the best views). The tour rolls out from SAHARA Las Vegas, where you’ll board the bus, down the Strip all the way to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign and back. You’ll pass by all the iconic properties including Bellagio and its showstopping fountain show; The Venetian Resort with its waterways for the gondolas; the stunning Roman fountains in front of Caesars Palace; the bustling sidewalks in front of the city-inspired New York-New York hotel; the tropical scenes at Mandalay Bay; the city’s oldest operating property on the Strip, Flamingo; the massive pyramid of the Luxor and so much more. And as the bus continues to roll down the street, a recorded voice pumps through the speakers and shares stories, facts and anecdotes about each property—it’s a great way to learn about the Strip!
During the 75-minute ride, the sightseeing is paired with a delicious high tea experience. Choose from hot teas, iced teas and iced coffees with various flavors. A three-tiered platter of savory and sweet bites includes mini sandwiches like cucumber and radish, turkey and Swiss, and specialties like mini lobster rolls, deviled eggs, vegetable crudité with hummus and salmon crostini. Sweets include chocolate-covered strawberries, mini mousse cakes in flavors like mango and raspberry; brownie bites; assorted macarons and flaky, buttery scones with different fruit flavors.
Departure times are at noon and 3 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, with tickets starting at $99.
