Las Vegas tours have lots to offer, but perhaps one of the most surprising sights you´ll ever see on a Las Vegas tour is Scotty´s Castle. This amazing structure is sitting out in the middle of Death Valley, one of the harshest areas on the planet! And you can take a guided tour of this mansion when you visit Death Valley.
Scotty´s Castle wasn´t actually built by Scotty, a prospector and performer who convinced Albert Johnson, a rich businessman from Chicago, to invest in his gold mine. Interestingly enough, the gold mine never returned a single dime and when Johnson went to see it . . . he never actually saw a real mine. However, he liked the weather so much that he decided to build a home there and kept coming back for his health, along with his wife.
This incredible castle was begun back in 1925, but was never actually completed, due to the Great Depression. When you take the Las Vegas tour to Death Valley, you´ll be amazed at the beautifully furnished castle, which, though unfinished, was still decorated. It was home to Albert Johnson until 1954, when he died and was buried up on the hillside nearby.
It creates an interesting story and Scotty´s Castle is definitely one Las Vegas tour that you´ll want to take.
