PINK JEEP TOURS – LAS VEGAS TO FEATURE SPRINGS PRESERVE
NEW LAS VEGAS CITY TOUR BEGINS AT BIRTHPLACE OF LAS VEGAS
Las Vegas, NV – From prehistoric wetlands to world-class resorts, from gangsters to gaming, from railroad stops to ranches, Las Vegas is a vacation and entertainment mecca. Discover Las Vegas and enjoy its rich and risky evolution on a Pink Jeep Tour.
The Springs Preserve showcases the birthplace of Las Vegas, and is home to the artesian spring that supplied the first settlers pioneering the valley. Located just steps away from the origin of the water source, the tour will begin at the ORIGEN® experience. The Springs Preserve’s ORIGEN Experience showcases fascinating interactive exhibits that capture the sprit of Las Vegas, the land, the earliest inhabitants and the many possibilities for the future of Las Vegas.
