The day begins with a viewing of an airline that doesn’t exist. Later, visitors arrive at a dry lake bed where unidentified flying object sightings are said to occur. These are among features of a Las Vegas Area 51 Tour, one of a number of unusual excursions that are available to curious sightseers throughout the United States. From ghosts to witches, kayaking to riding in a vintage firetruck, some outings provide very different ways to experience and enjoy a variety of sites.
When they aren’t trying to strike it rich at a Las Vegas casino, some guests in what’s known as “Disneyland for Adults” check out a very different setting. Area 51 refers to a highly classified U.S. Air Force facility that is believed to be where experimental aircraft and weapons are developed and tested. The perimeter of the location is closely guarded, and a sign warns any interlopers to “Keep out, use of deadly force authorized.”
