We had a blast!

We had a blast with our tour guide Alisha. She was so knowledgeable and answered all of my goofy and serious mining questions. She made us feel comfortable from the first minute talking to her and we knew we were in for a fun time. Also the staff at the general store were so generous and welcoming, this was our favorite activity we did on our trip to Vegas! 10/10 would recommend and will be back!!
