Reisroute
Nadat je bent opgehaald bij je hotel in Las Vegas, maak je een korte rit met een comfortabel busje naar de Hoover Dam voor een korte fotostop. Deze 726-voet (221-meter) dam houdt de machtige Colorado River tegen, waarachter je Lake Mead vindt, een prachtig kunstmatig reservoir dat zich binnen de Black Canyon-muren bevindt. Maak alle 'dam'-foto's die je wilt!
Ga vervolgens naar het kleine mijnstadje Chloride, een gemeenschap die het ruwe woestijnmilieu sinds de jaren 1860 heeft overleefd. Zilver en andere mineralen werden hier tientallen jaren gewonnen, en nadat de mijnbouw voorbij was, werd Chloride bijna een spookstad. Vandaag de dag wonen er ongeveer 250 inwoners in Chloride die erg trots zijn op hun mijngeschiedenis. Blader door de antiekwinkels; bewonder de verschillende artistieke sculpturen; en chat met de lokale bevolking voordat je gaat lunchen.
Rij vervolgens langs de snelweg Historic Route 66 naar het kleine spookstadje Oatman.
De huidige bevolking van deze spookstad is 150 mensen en één poltergeist die ‘Oatie de Geest’ heet. Hij wordt verondersteld de arme geest te zijn van William Ray Flour, een Ierse mijnwerker die stierf achter het Oatman Hotel. Geniet van het uitzicht op de Black Mountains en de tumbleweeds en wilde burros die vrij door de stad dwalen. Laat je foto maken met moderne cowboys en bandieten terwijl je voor een authentiek Route 66-bord poseert. Je hebt ook een kans om deel te nemen aan een westerse shootout. Dit evenement in westerse stijl wordt midden in de straat gehouden en toont cowboys in kostuum die face-to-face staan, klaar om te tekenen. Geniet van een drankje in een lokale salon (op eigen kosten) voordat je door de Mojave-woestijn reist langs de Veterans Memorial Highway, een weg die dwars door het lege woestijnlandschap snijdt. Je laatste stop voordat je terugkeert naar de glitter en glamour van Las Vegas is in El Dorado, dat werd genoemd door de Spanjaarden die goud in het gebied ontdekten. Deze stad diende als achtergrond voor vele beroemde westerse films en huisvestte ook de beroemde Techatticup-mijn, waar miljoenen dollars aan goud en zilver zijn opgegraven.
Je tour wordt afgesloten met drop-off op je oorspronkelijke vertrekpunt.

Joel was engaged and made the tour very much enjoyable. Lunch was provided which was delicious. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again if in Vegas.

Las Vegas 4 day stay at the Mirage & tips My wife and I had a good time in Vegas, we stayed at the mirage, which we found to be in the center of Las Vegas Blvd. making it easy to get to just about anywhere, plus access to the free tram. ( there are two trams one is free the other you pay for) a cab from the airport to the hotel $30.00 about a 20 minute ride. Check in at the hotels are around 4pm, so if you get there earlier,you won’t be able to check in, so check your bags with the bell men. Since we arrived early we had a 4 hour wait, so we used the time to scope out the hotel and we’re the pool was located and it’s hours of operation. At the Mirage the pool opened at 9am but people got on line 1/2 hour earlier,in order to get a free chair before everyone rushes to get one, otherwise your stuck having to pay for one. You’ll also will fine that some people just put their towels down on the chairs and then walkway not to be seen for hours. Best times for the pool and chairs early morning or after 230 pm. Another tip bring a small collapsing cooler, to bring to the pool ( no glass allowed) Once our room was ready, we just called down to the bell men and our luggage was brought up very quickly. Once we unpacked, we went across the street to Walgreens and purchased waters and other drinks,snacks,to keep in our room in ice buckets, otherwise things can get expensive. If you’re looking for reasonable food cost, I would recommend going to the miracle mile shopping mall it’s about a 20 minute walk from the mirage. Breakfast at the hotels for two can run from 60 to $80. At the miracle mile we got, two eggs, bacon,potatoes,toast, for $5.00 at la Salas which opens at 8am across from there is Blondies, also good deals on breakfast and lunch, there is also a place in the miracle mile we’re anything on the lunch menu is $5.00 we saw it and there was a line for it,so we ate at earl of sandwiches, two small hero’s and free refills for two cost us $21.00, wear comfortable shoes there’s a lot of walking.,hotels seem close to each other but believe me there not, my wife and I were doing about 20 to 25000 steps per day that’s 10 plus mile’s per day Suggestion bring or buy at cvs or Walgreens, liquid I.v. Great for exhaustion and hang overs, it works quick you mix it with your water. Also be careful of individual trying to sell you VIP concert passes, it’s a scam, only a promotor can give out VIP passes,and thief usually free. Hope I’ve given you some insight, Enjoy Vegas. I found the best time was Labor Day ( Sunday to Thursday) we found it less crowded.
The Hoover Dam, Oatman Ghost Town, the beautiful landscapes, and the amazing history our tour guide provided! Our tour guide was Chris Urban and he was impressive. His knowledge and the historical information he provided made the tour unforgettable for my husband and me. Thanks Chris!
Thank you so much for your review- it's much appreciated. Our wild West Ghost Town Explorer tour is a unique tour and a great way to see and learn about rich mining history of the area. Glad you enjoyed it!
Communication with the booking office was excellent. We cancelled and re-booked, hassle free. Thank you ladies for your great service and understanding. This was a great adventure for all 10 of us. Indy is a great historian and provided us with the background and history of each town we visited. He is very informative, patient and personable. The scenery along route 66 were amazing. We enjoyed the lunch too. I would definitely recommend Bindlestiff Tours to friend who are going to venture in this part of the US in the future.
Thanks so much Stella- it was a pleasure taking your group on tour!
A great day trip if you want a break from Vegas strip ! Indy our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. Enjoyed beautiful scenic drive and even drove on parts of RT 66 . Visited 3 “ ghost” towns though Chloride wasn’t interesting but really enjoyed oatman. The wild burros were definitely a highlight
