LAS VEGAS, NV – With Las Vegas welcoming a record-breaking 3.7 million visitors last month, tourism to Sin City is up 4.8 per cent year-on-year based on figures for the same period in 2014. With visitor numbers expected to continue to grow, the Las Vegas Power Pass, a sightseeing card which helps visitors save time and money, has been relaunched to make the city more convenient and accessible for tourists. And the pass now features a selection of new attractions!
Revamped with a new smartphone- and tablet-ready website, it is now easier than ever to purchase the Las Vegas Power Pass, which offers entry to over 25 of the city’s top attractions, tours and experiences. The pass also includes discounts and offers at top Vegas shows, dining and retail venues, fast-track entry at five of the city’s busiest attractions and a free two-day hop-on, hop-off bus tour ticket, which is the perfect way for visitors to get their bearings when they first arrive.
To coincide with the relaunch of the pass, a range of brand new active attractions have been added, all of which will appeal to holidaymakers looking for a thrill. At Cowabunga Bay, visitors can enjoy a 23-acre water park, raft down a 55-foot slide into the world’s largest man-made wave, ride the lazy rivers and brave a 73-foot enclosed tube that circles its riders to the bottom before dumping them through a trap door into a pool of water. At KISS: by Monster Mini Golf, fans of Gene Simmons’ iconic rock band KISS® can pay 18 holes of glow-in-the-dark golf in a course themed around the band. Finally, wannabe Lewis Hamiltons can try a track session at Gene Wood’s Go Kart Racing.
