How It Works
GyPSy Guide will take you on a GPS Tour of Las Vegas. It's a small device (PDA) that rides along with you in your vehicle and plays commentary through the vehicle's stereo. As you drive through an area of interest, the device AUTOMATICALLY plays audio specific to that location. You can easily install a GyPSy Guide into your own car or a rental car. All you need is a car stereo and a power outlet (cigarette lighter).
The commentary is an entertaining mix of interesting stories, facts and figures, history, Las Vegas stories, directions and tips and advice, even how to do better when you are playing at the casinos, all recorded by professional tour guides. And the best thing is, the commentary starts and stops by itself because the device always knows where you are! You can leave the vehicle to visit one of the suggested attractions, lunch or rest break and it will start up automatically at the next point.
Watch the demo or visit our Las Vegas day tour information to hear samples of what you will hear during your tour.
The technology is sophisticated but simple to use. Once you set up GyPSy Guide, there is nothing else for you to do – other than enjoy the entertaining stories as you take in the scenery and points of interest, just like having a local expert friend.
Reserve your GyPSy Guide in advance (recommended), or visit the Concierge Desk at the Tropicana to rent one. The Tropicana is the home of the awesome new Las Vegas Mob Experience. You can park at the Tropicana entrance while you pick up your GyPSy Guide. The minimum rental is for one day – a 24 hour period from when you pick it up.
Easy to set up
GyPSy
Guide is easy to set up. You will receive all of the
components you need to begin touring in your rental kit.
There is an easy to follow instruction card too.
These are the steps:
- Attach the cradle to the windshield of your car.
- Attach the power cord to the GyPSy Guide computer. Plug the other end into the car’s power supply.
- Turn on the GyPSy Guide computer.
- If the car has an "Auxiliary Input" in the stereo, plug the auxiliary cable into the computer and the other end into the car’s Auxiliary Input.
- If the car does not have an Auxiliary Input, then follow the instructions to use the supplied FM transmitter instead.
- Turn on the car stereo.
- Wait for the GyPSy Guide to connect to satellites.
- Once the Gypsy Guide has enough satellites connected, you simply start driving along the GyPSy Guide route and enjoy the commentary.
Once your GyPSy Guide is set up, you don’t have to do anything else. It knows where you are and which way you are going. It will activate commentary automatically as you drive providing you with interesting information, advice and tips.
You will also receive maps that show you the routes that the GyPSy Guide follows and they will help you plan how to spend your time. When you finish your trip, simply pack up the kit.
Its simply the best and most entertaining way to tour Las Vegas' best attractions. You will hear stories about the mob, whacky ideas that have been tried and failed in vegas, even tips on how to improve your odds on the gaming tables as well as all the best things to do while to stay in Vegas.
