We bought the explorer pass(7) for each of us(2child/2adults) before the trip. Downloaded the app so we can sync the passes and reserve early if we had to. We had trouble receiving the confirmation email and it took me a few days to get a hold of them before they resolved the issue. That issue was my hotmail account, so don’t use hotmail account. Gmail worked fine. We had to cancel the order and order them again on my wife’s account. Worked fine. Synced the pass to app and ready to go.
The good, we successfully used our passes at two very good restaurants. Favorite Bistro and Cafe Hollywood were very accommodating. They had the best hours and didn’t need reservations(midweek). A big win on the two places.
The Strat was also very good and worth the trip. If you go between 4-7pm, you can take advantage of the bar’s happy hour. The bartender hooked me up at 6:59pm. The observation deck was so relaxing.
We also used the pass for the Big Apple Rollercoaster and 4D at Excalibur. Kids had a blast and loved the arcade at Big Apple. No problems at all, just follow Gocity directions.
The not as good, first, The High Roller only good between 4-6pm. Otherwise, you will be charged $15/each extra. Kids under 4 are free so not bad for our situation. Lines to ticket booth can be 30+ minutes so be prepared. Also, the Nighttime Big Bus tour can be a challenge to arrange. You can redeem behind the High Roller, but look for the sign. You can call them if they don’t have somebody waiting there to help. No kiosk so it was hard to locate. The tour was nice, but they only let you see Freemont Street for an hour. Not enough time so we took the Duece back. It felt like a waste of money overall, unless you like a little knowledge.
The bad, Siegfried and Roy habitat. For $25, you can enjoy a ten minute walk to see five big cats and some dolphins. I would skip that entirely even if I saved money.
Overall, we saved $200. I wouldn’t buy for children 3 and under as many places are free anyways.
