Life Vests - But every tour I go on they stink (Smell and the way they fit!) Venture Out Vegas supports the safety of what the National Park Rangers have implemented and every guest must abide by the rules set in place. There is a fine if you are busted without one, and this will make Venture Out Vegas look bad- and we will not stand for that.

Also, after every single tour the life vests, are hand washed, sanitized, and inspected, leaving all our gear smelling fresh!
