I even tried to reschedule and they continuously lied about not having availability even though I could book online. Very scammy and I was really looking forward to this excursion, but they only care about the money.”

Pair a four-course Italian dinner at Matteo Ristorante in The Venetian with a shared Eco-Star helicopter flight over the Strip and downtown Las Vegas. Expect Bellagio, the Eiffel Tower replica, Fremont Street, and The Strat, with transfers after dinner and select hotel drop-off.

“Got to the restaurant where they did not have our reservation. Spent 20 minutes on a phone call getting that straightened out. Then was told to meet the driver at one place, and then was told to meet the driver at a totally different place. The driver threw us around the whole way to the airport where we arrived to the sound of screaming kids. We decided not to go forth with the helicopter ride. Thought it was a private thing but it was a group thing. Totally disappointed with this experience.”
