We had the BEST time on this tour! If you're worried about the amount or quality of the food, don't be. Every place we went to was chef driven and we were so blissfully full at the end we could barely move. You will not be sampling hotdogs and pizza out of a food truck on this tour. No way! We had freshly made pastas from Scarpetta. One filled with faux gras and another with short rib. From the Blue Ribbon we started off with some clams followed by some fondue. So much fun! Then we had gourmet crispy chicken wings served with a honey wasabi sauce that'll make you want to move to Vegas. We also went to Javier's which has some of the most interesting and beautiful artwork I have ever seen in a restaurant. At Javier's we had a delicious half chicken half seafood enchilada that puts all other enchiladas to shame. To end the evening we were presented with a dessert trio from Mastro's where we tasted the star of the night, the Warm Butter Cake!! I still dream about this dessert. Wow!
All of these top restaurants were places we were hoping to visit anyway. That's why I strongly suggest you make sure you go at the beginning of your trip. You will not only check some great restaurants off your list but you will get some great suggestions for other hidden gems to try for the rest of your stay. We never would have had the time to go to all of these places on our own and it would have cost 3-4 times more. That's why it is totally worth the money. They don't go to the same places every time, so your tour may be different than ours, but I am confident that the quality will be the same.
If you get Tom as your tour guide, go ahead and do a happy dance. Tom is a rock star. He is fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Tom loves his job, Vegas and his wife. His passion is obvious and makes the tour extra special. He will tell you interesting information about the food, artwork and Vegas that leaves you walking away with some great stories to share.
We truly had an exceptional time. Thank you Lip Smacking Foodie Tours and thank you Tom for a very memorable evening in Vegas!

This is my second time doing a Foodie Tour with the Lip Smacking Foodies and once again they did NOT disappoint!
Our tour guide Tom did a phenomenal job guiding us to four fabulous restaurants in downtown Las Vegas near Fremont St. and Container Park. He told us the history of the area and each of the restaurants and how they came to be. Tom even told us about a few must-see places along the way!
We ate at three different restaurants with small bites of popular menu items plus a unique cocktail at each restaurant included with the optional beverage package which I highly recommend purchasing! Tom took us to a restaurant to have a complimentary cocktail before our last stop where I had the best Moscow Mule I have ever had right in the middle of Container Park. We learned a lot and walked away fat and happy!
Tom was prepared for any possible circumstance of working during a Pandemic and made us feel safe by providing plenty of hand sanitizer and hand wipes and keeping the group size small and spaced out appropriately with seating in the restaurant.
I would highly recommend Lip Smacking Foodie Tours and will definitely be back in the near future!!!

A unique experience in a city full of uniqueness. We experienced a generous taste of four top restaurants: Javiers, Milos, Momofuku and Cucina Wolfgang Puck. Our group of six came away with full bellies.
Without a doubt, Tom’s Lip Smacking Foodie Tour was a Las Vegas highlight for us. Tom provided interesting tidbits of information about each restaurant and owner, then detailed the food choices in mouth-watering detail. He worked with the staff to maintain the flow and pace of the tour.
Food love 💕 Do we recommend Lip Smacking Foodie Tour? Heck yes!!

Tom was our guide, and let me just say that this is definitely the highlight of our Vegas trip! We visited 4 extremely exclusive restaurants at the Aria complex- all of them were jammed pack with long line and wait list. Not only did we just walk past the lines like VIP we also got to sit in beautiful private dining areas. It’s the best food tour I’ve ever been on traveling around the world. All the food were exquisites and we didn’t have to worry about what to order... just sit down and all the signature dishes just show up. Highly highly recommend this tour- amazing value and you cannot find this anywhere else, and will not be able to do this on your own

I hope I do this justice. My wife and I bad a great time. What a great way to spend a couple of hours enjoying 3 different high end restaurants. There is no way we could have done any of this on our own.
Out guide Allen was super nice and knowledgable. He had great stories to share of some the places we were visiting and as a former chef, he had some great "inside" stories. A guy I could hang out with.
We did the boozy bunch. The restaurants we visited were all first class and had something unique to share. The first two were a little lighter fares but very tasty. The last was the best where we tried some signature dishes. There was plenty to eat. I'm a big eater and I was plenty full.
Afterwards, we wondered around and ended going back to the first restaurant to try one of their drinks made with chartreuse. It was delicious.
I would highly recommend this tour and would not hesitate for a minute to try one of their other tours the next time we are in town.
I attached photos of the places we visited and food we ate. They say they mix up the venues and menus so even the same tour would be different next time. Come prepared to try something new and gave fun!

We had an amazing afternoon on the tour today with Tom! He was a great host as we went to 4 fantastic restaurants to try 2-3 dishes at each... the food was spectacular! Dessert was exquisite! Tom was very knowledgeable, pointing out interesting tidbits on the way and at each restaurant... he also gave great suggestions about other restaurants and things to do in Vegas. A great tour to do, particularly at the beginning of your trip! There was tons of food, no one left this tour hungry! Very impressive and would definitely recommend.

On March 10, 2022, we went on the afternoon culinary tour with Lip Smacking Foodie Tours. AMAZING. I resolved myself to try everything. We went to amazing restaurants at Venetian and Wynn. Food was great. We met a nice group. If you don't like something, my advice is try it anyway. This food is next level. If you still don't like it, no worries because there is way more than you could possibly eat. We don't normally go to really nice restaurants like this. This tour gave us a chance to splurge without spending a ton of money. It's a beautiful thing to walk into some of the nicest restaurants on the Strip, walk right in past everyone, get immediately seated, get immediately served, and generally be treated like a VIP. I think our guide's name was James (I really apologize to him if I got the name wrong because he was great). He guided us, told us about the resorts, and was very knowledgeable about the food.
I simply can't imagine returning to Vegas without booking at least one of these tours.
A quick note about food: my adult daughter was with us. She is a vegetarian. Each restaurant made sure she had exceptional gourmet vegetarian foods to try. Tell Lip Smacking Foodie Tours in advance and I trust they can make any dietarian restriction happen.

All I can say is, wow! My wife and I LOVED this tour so so much. Tom was a fantastic guide and provided so much information about not only the dishes we were eating, but about the restaurants themselves too! Three of our stops were at the ARIA, and Tom had some really great information about it as well. It was fun to learn not only about the food and restaurants, but about the resort in which they were housed as well.
Now, the part I'm sure you, the reader of the review, is curious about: The food! Holy cow! All I can say is, come hungry. You're getting multiple distinct food options at three separate restaurants, plus several super delicious and decadent dessert options at the fourth stop. My wife and I had to practically roll to our Lyft back to our resort! The tour stops can change and may not always be the same, so I won't get into reviewing each and every dish, but there wasn't a single thing on my plate that I didn't like, and that's saying a lot since I'm like a picky toddler when it comes to food.
I think that this was a great value for money, considering how much you'd have to spend to eat at each of these places individually, combined with the hassle of getting reservations and waiting in line. When they say you get VIP treatment and are immediately taken to your table to dine, they aren't exaggerating. We didn't wait for a table at a single stop, and food was brought out and in front of us within 5 minutes of sitting down. I opted for the drink package as well, and those came almost as soon as I sat down.
Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this amazing tour. You won't be disappointed!

My cousin, his wife, my wife and I all booked the afternoon culinary adventures for 1:30 on Friday and it surpassed all our expectations. We knew the tour would be good, but it turned out to be amazing. Allen, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable on a lot of hidden gems throughout the strip as we walked between destinations. He was very knowledgeable on each stop, each entree and just a fun host overall. We had such a great time at each location, there was not an appetizer, entree, drink or dessert that we didn’t absolutely love. We would have never had an opportunity or known to eat at each of these locations on our own. I was worried that the portions would be too small to get full, but that was certainly not the case, I got stuffed! We all had a great time and we highly recommend anyone and everyone do this tour!

My wife and I did the Savor the Strip tour, and it was worth every single penny. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and had a great sense of humor. We were mostly in Aria, and went to Catch, Bardot, and Javier's in Aria, and Mastro's Ocean Club in the Shops at Crystals. Every meal was incredible, and you definitely skip the lines and get VIP treatment as advertised. Each restaurant gives you a tasting of their signature dishes, and the last stop was dessert. You can add on a drink package, which we didn't do, but others said was good. We ordered cocktails at a few restaurants on our own dime, which worked well for us because we could pick out drinks and the restaurants were quick to bring them. We will absolutely be doing other tours and have been recommending it to all our friends. Highly recommend - you get your money's worth and more!

Hey, looking to do this tour in a few weeks. Coming from Scotland and terrible at tipping. What is a normal tip for the tour guide?
Written 29 July 2023
The email confirmation recommended at least $10 tip for our guide per person, but I gave $20 because he was exceptional!

Hi, my girl and I did a food tour through Lip Smacking food tours. Four couples guided by a lovely hostess. We enjoyed food from 4 different restaurants around the Aria and Cosmopolitan Resorts. During the tour we also learned a little bit of history and fun facts about art and architecture of the Aria and Cosmopolitan. The tour was well thought out. Good conversation and plenty of things to see, drink and eat. If you do decide to enjoy this food tour, spend the extra for the signature drinks. It's well worth it.
