cut three out of the bunch and, with their team mates, herd them to the other end of

Grand Canyon West spreads over 9,000 acres with colorful views of deep canyon walls
separated by the Colorado River. The Hualapai Indian Nation owns the West Rim located
in Northwest Arizona and 120 miles east of Las Vegas, NV. The scenic route to the Grand
Canyon’s West Rim is through historical Henderson and Boulder City. The narrator will
point out views of interest and as the Coach crosses Hoover Dam, guests will have the
opportunity to take photos. Once at the Canyon, a Hop-On-Hop-Off shuttle system is
available to take guests to different viewing areas. The time frame for this part of the
tour is individualized, but the guest must return to the originating property in time for
departure to Las Vegas.
The Skywalk glass bridge suspends 4,000 ft above the Grand Canyon floor. The first
guest to walk out on the Skywalk was Buzz Aldrin, the first man to walk on the moon.
Also, during the ceremony, the first Native American in space, John Bennett Herrington,
led the Tribal Leaders to greet Buzz Aldrin at the apex of the walkway. Native American
Village hosts five authentic dwellings constructed by representatives of each Nation. The
Amphitheatre demonstrates live Native American performances from multiple tribes.
The shows are all day long and the theatre can seat approximately 250 guests.
3.00pm
Depart the Grand Canyon and head for Las Vegas.

The Sales Excellence Club guests will be staying at the Bellagio. To say that this is a flash
hotel would be the ultimate in understatements. Bellagio stands at 50 stories of pure
luxury and most view it as the most elegant on the Strip.
This AAA Five-Diamond award winning resort is framed by its most notable feature, the
Fountains of Bellagio. Traffic stops just to get a glimpse of the 9-acre, manmade lake
and the unique performance of dancing water synchronized to music. Not only is the
Strip’s congestion a common occurrence, but the fountains are recognized by many
fans of Ocean Eleven, Ocean’s Thirteen, 2012, and the Hangover movies. Many scenes
use the fountains 1,203 nozzles breaking the water surface and lights illuminating the
hotel tower to hues of purple or red-white-and-blue.
Beyond the entrance is the living heart of the resort, the Conservatory. Fresh flowers
and foliage create the holidays and seasons, providing the perfect backdrop for visitor
photos. All is under the protection of a dome atrium under greenhouse glass. Bellagio
guests will be overwhelmed by the Conservatory’s beauty and abundance of color,
fragrance, volume and texture.
A walk through the lobby and casino, a guest will find another striking feature of the
Bellagio situated along the hotel’s watery shoreline. The retail village is known as Via
Bellagio. The restaurants and shops represent some of the most exclusive names
around including Tiffany and Co., Hermes, Armani, and Le Cirque. Detailed tile work,
sculptures, and walls of cascading chocolate complete the artistic endeavors that
symbolize this grand hotel.

Vegas Strip. Our limo drivers are at our disposal while champagne flows and we cruise the

The Strip may sparkle and the neon may shine, but nowhere in Las Vegas will you find a
more dazzling spectacle than Bali Hai. Designed by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley in 2000,
the Bali Hai course is a worthy namesake of the famous Indonesian land of
enchantment. The lush surroundings include seven-acres of opulent water features, a
total of 4,000 trees with 2,500 stands of towering palms and 100,000 Bali Hai Golf Club
tropical plants.
Entering through ornate double doors, guests are transported to a Balinese paradise,
where attention to detail and dining enjoyment are immediately apparent – setting the
stage for our Vintage Vegas at Bali Hai Dinner.
7.30pm
Naturally no Vintage Vegas Gala Dinner would be complete without show girls and
tonight our guests are greeted and escorted by two of these exotic creatures to our pre
