Frequently Asked Questions

Since being founded more than a decade ago by hospitality professionals, we have cultivated exclusive partnerships with the best restaurants and resorts, not only in Las Vegas, but throughout the country. Our boutique experiences include the most sought-after restaurants, many of them award-winning ones opened by some of the most celebrated chefs in the world. Our experiences come complete with VIP service, a professional guide, and lavish food. With years of experience, we are adept at hosting not only small parties but also large corporate groups.

This is absolutely a full and filling meal, complete with desserts at the end. It comprises not only high quality, but generous quantity. The experience doesn’t follow a rigid progressive format (such as appetizers at one venue and entrees at another). Instead, guests enjoy the most famous signature dishes, three to four standout selections at each restaurant. The experience concludes with an array of indulgent desserts.

Most Lip Smacking experiences can be customized to meet a wide variety of dietary and allergy restrictions, including vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian, etc.; or modified to omit seafood, gluten, nuts, dairy or other allergens.

For our public experiences, we require 24 hours’ advance notice. When booking, please let us know if anyone in your party has severe dietary or allergy restrictions.

For private experiences, we ask that you provide a spreadsheet listing guests’ names with any dietary or allergy restrictions.

Beverages are a thoughtfully designed part each experience and play an important role in elevating each venue visit. Water is provided at every restaurant. Additionally, an optional beverage package is available that includes a pre-selected signature cocktail at three restaurants, each one served promptly upon arrival. Each cocktail is unique to the specific venue, and has been carefully curated to pair with the food served at each location. Additional alcohol or beverages not included in the experience may be purchased separately. However, we recommend purchasing the beverage package not only to enhance the overall experience, but to alleviate any waits that may impact the time you spend relaxing at each restaurant.

Within minutes, a parade of signature dishes will follow, including ones customized to your dietary or allergy restrictions, if you have informed us of them ahead of time. A dedicated waitstaff is at the ready at each restaurant to assist with any need.

Our guides are professionals who are highly trained and warmly engaging. They expertly manage timing, access, dietary accommodations, and beverage-package service. They also entertain with fascinating facts about local insights along the way, making for a show in and of itself. They can assist in taking photos or find the perfect spot for them. Additionally, they can offer recommendations to make the rest of your stay more enjoyable. In short, they skillfully steer the ship, so that you can relax and enjoy smooth sailing throughout.

To heighten the excitement, restaurants and menus are revealed only as the experience unfolds. All restaurants are conveniently close to one another. On our Vegas experiences, they often all are located in one resort. Our experiences finish very near where they begin, so minimal walking is involved.

The amount of walking is nominal, so you’re free to wear whatever comfortable shoes you like. Please refrain from wearing sweatpants, jerseys, athletic apparel, and flipflops. For men, we also ask for no tank tops.

Weather is never an issue because little time is spent outdoors. Our experiences always proceed as planned year-round.

Once the experience is booked, it cannot be cancelled. However, Lip Smacking does offer a special cancellation protection option for $20 per person, which must be purchased at the time of booking. It cannot be purchased retroactively and is non-refundable. The cancellation protection allows for a one-time change to reschedule your tour to a different date; or to receive a full refund on your tour (not including the cost of the cancellation protection). You must cancel no later than 24 hours prior to the tour date. You also can transfer your booking. Send us an email with the name of the person you are transferring it to, along with any allergy or dietary restrictions.

Children are welcome on all experiences, except for those designated 21+. However, Lip Smacking experiences are not tailored to children. There is no separate children’s menu. All attendees, including children, must pay admission. There is no discounted price for children.

No minimum. Maximum capacity for a private experience is 1,000, with guests to be split into groups of 125 on different Lip Smacking tours that would all start at the same time.

Billing is based on the confirmed number at booking. Reductions due to no-shows or cancellations in your group are not refundable.

You may request up to 5 additional guests if you email us at least 3 days ahead of time. We will do our best to accommodate those extra guests, but we cannot guarantee that the change can be made. Our partner restaurants are among the most high-profile and in-demand ones, and all three hosting this experience must have the capacity for these additional guests or else the request cannot be granted. Unconfirmed guests arriving onsite will be turned away.

For private groups of 12 or more, the beverage package is required. It features a distinct, pre-selected craft cocktail served promptly at each restaurant. These are the cocktails for which each restaurant is famed, designed to pair perfectly with the signature dishes served, and are highlights in and of themselves.

For private groups of 12 or more, additional beverage orders are discouraged because the restaurant may not be able to fulfill them in a timely fashion before guests need to depart for the next venue.

Deluxe transportation can be arranged to take private groups to and from their hotel to the Lip Smacking tour location.

Your deposit secures the date, and allows for one change of date request within one year (requested at least 30 days prior and subject to availability).

If cancelled at least 30 days before the date of the tour, the deposit will be refunded minus an administrative fee of 25%.

If cancelled less than 30 days before the tour, the deposit is forfeited.

Failure to pay in full five business days prior to the tour results in forfeiture of the tour and liability for its full payment.

Lip Smacking can arrange for any or all of the following to make the experience even more special:

– Branded menus, napkins, and to‑go cocktail cups
– Logo‑etched Champagne flutes
– Branded shuttles
– Professional photography and videography
– Custom highlight video with thank-you message for attendees

Lip Smacking delivers elevated, boutique experiences that are customized to meet every need. Guests enjoy an optional private shuttle to the tour location. They are met by a dedicated Lip Smacking host who will welcome them, then guide them on a 2.5-hour dining experience to three acclaimed restaurants, all within close walking distance.

At each establishment, they will bypass lines and host stands for immediate seating at prime tables to enjoy a variety of distinct signature dishes for a bountiful feast. Attendees with dietary or allergy restrictions will enjoy a tailored menu to meet their needs. An optional beverage package can provide a specialty craft cocktail upon arrival at each restaurant. A dedicated waitstaff is at the ready at each venue to ensure every detail is met for complete VIP service.

The Lip Smacking guide escorts the group to each restaurant, and provides fascinating and entertaining insights along the way. At the last restaurant, decadent desserts will be enjoyed before the Lip Smacking guide leads the group to the optional private shuttle ride back to their hotel.

At the end of the dining experience, guests are shuttled to the nearby helicopter terminal for a Champagne toast before boarding a luxury ECO-Star helicopter for a 12- to 15-minute evening flight over both east and west ends of The Strip. They get a bird’s eye view of iconic landmarks such as the Bellagio, Caesars Palace, the Eiffel Tower, Wynn, Venetian, The Sphere, The Strat, the home venues for the Vegas Golden Knights and the Las Vegas Raiders, and historic downtown.

Because there are five helicopters, each of which can hold up to six guests, large groups can be accommodated easily. A maximum of 30 guests can tour in the sky at once, every half hour, as the remaining guests enjoy Champagne in the terminal as they await their turn. Afterward, the group will be transported conveniently back to their hotel.
