Skeptic: Promoting Science and Critical Thinking

top navigation:

JOIN THE SKEPTICS SOCIETY FOR A WONDERFUL THREE-DAY TOUR of the highlights of the Mojave Desert and the Las Vegas area. We will stop at the historic restored ghost town of Calico and take several tours, visit Afton Gorge where Ice Age floods drained Lake Manix, collect 550 million year old trilobites, experience the spectacular boulders of Red Rock Canyon, and conclude with a guided tour of Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam tours are not recommended for anyone who suffers from claustrophobia, or has a pacemaker or defibrillator. Tours are conducted in confined spaces and in a powerplant with generators emitting electromagnetic frequencies. Those who can not participate in the tour may enjoy the visitor’s center. Each night we will stay at the Excalibur Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, where you can explore Sin City on your own.
