When planning a day trip consider the striking city of Mesquite, tucked in the Virgin River Valley on the edge of the Nevada/Arizona border. With just six or more guests, Mesquite travel can be customized to visit spas, golf courses, or the scenic wonders which define the area. It will be hard to ignore the importance of green initiatives and sustainability while your guests explore the terrain of the beautiful mountain clusters.
Laughlin and Primm are other viable day trip options. In addition to cutting down on car engine emissions, the advantage of employing charter buses for group travel is also financial. Many charter bus companies receive incentives from casinos to bring people to their property and these incentives are often passed on to the passengers with meal coupons, gift merchandise, and sometimes even free slot play. Planners can use these day trips to team build or extend the invitation to the attendees spouse before hand; if spousal travel is supported by your organization.
Just because you are taking your event travel to a “greener level” doesn’t mean luxury transportation is out of the question. Some might say green is the new black when combing style and lavishness with environmentally-friendly limousine services. One Las Vegas-based company, Earth Limos & Buses, has a fleet that runs only on clean fuel, which means the eco-friendly vehicles produce ultra-low emissions. These types of companies are proving that a next generation of luxury limousine travel service is attainable and desired. Although luxury travel is not practical for each event attendee, it can be a way to honor special guests or offered as an incentive for employees.
