Chopper worth the expense! Used maverick and papillon and they were both the same, they do half day trips that are well worth it, 100% recommend. Not done the coach, they are cheaper but its a long effing way........

About halfway there you were transferred from the nice coaches that collected you from the hotels into clapped out ones. This was because the road was still being built and the journey was deemed to bumpy for the nice coaches. We also flew out there too and would definatly recommend this to your parents.

I didn't pay that much, dont think it was 400 even, was well worth it though. Maybe a plane trip out there could be a compromise? I did that a long time ago and it was reasonably good.

It wasnt that expensive for return trip, lunch in canyon and a ride over downtown and up the strip. We shared with another group so seven in total. i shotgunned the front seat but the Air con broke on way back though and a fat woman fainted but hey ho. Think it was about £300 each, maybe a bit more.
