Tour Includes:

An afternoon flight starts us on our way to Honolulu and then on to the mainland to our first destination, Springfield.  Because of the distance we must travel and the time zones we will cross, we will arrive in Springfield tomorrow morning.   

Just as soon as we arrive in Springfield, we’ll gather our bags and go to see Fantastic Caverns, the only drive through cave in America.  As we continue on to Branson, we’ll stop to have lunch at Lambert’s Café(on your own).  After lunch we’ll continue on to our hotel for the night.   We should have time to get ready to have dinner before we go to see the Oak Ridge Boys(subject to change).

Our hotel here in Branson is the BW Center Pointe Inn(or similar). 

This will be a long day for us.  If you can’t wait for your Buffet Breakfast, you’re welcome to have some Continental Breakfast provided by the hotel.  We’re headed to see the Buck Trent Show  which is preceded by a great Buffet Breakfast.  With our stomaches full, Buck will take over and entertain us.  Then, after some lunch(on your own), we’ll go to see the Hughes Brothers(subject to change).    These five talented brothers astound their audiences with their rich harmonies and the performance showcases their foot-steppin’ moves.  They are equally at home with country hits, old western classics to Broadway and gospel favorites along with the Season’s Holiday tunes.

The day isn’t over yet so, after dinner, there is one more show to see.  You’ll see Tony Orlando celebrating Christmas with The Lennon Sisters(subject to change).  You’re familiar with all of these performers and may have seen them on television.  Well, now you’ll get to see them live and in person doing their greatest hits and highlights of their amazing entertainment careers in a spectacular salute to the season!  This show will bring the day to a fitting end! Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Have your breakfast first before we start our day.  This morning, we’ll spend some time visiting the Butterfly Palace and Rainforest Adventure.  There is a 3-D movie to see that shows you how butterflies live and play, an insect zoo and a mirror maze to explore.  However, it is the Butterfly Palace with its more than 1000 species of live tropical butterflies that will thrill you.  You’ll be able to walk inside the conservatory and see all of the beautiful flowers as these beautiful, colorful butterflies flutter about.  Don’t be surprised if some decide to land on you!  Don’t forget to bring your camera!

Our first show today is at noon aboard the Showboat Branson Belle(subject to change).  Lunch is included as we enjoy a musical variety show performed by a talented cast of emcees, singers, dancers and comedians who will celebrate memorable moments in music that have changed the face of entertainment forever along with music for the Holidays . Stone Hill Winery will give us a chance to learn more about how wine is made and a chance to sample their products. We’ll also spend some time at one of Branson’s Factory Outlet Malls.  This evening, we’ve saved what many believe to be the best show in Branson, the Shoji Tabuchi Show(subject to change)! This is Branson’s premier musical production and you’ll see why. Shoji Tabuchi, an accomplished violinist, along with his beautiful wife, Dorothy, and daughter, Christina, is Branson USA’s first family of extraordinary musical entertainment.  With Shoji’s sense of musical perfection, he has gathered the right professional musicians, while Dorothy, along with a renowned choreographer, has found superb dancers and vocalists, all of which has created a performance ranging from country to classic and lovely ballads and songs of the 50’s and 60’s as well music for the Holiday season.  All of this is showcased in a theater that is  special in and of itself.

We leave Branson this morning and head to Springfield where we’ll board our late morning flight to Las Vegas.  We should arrive in Las Vegas by late afternoon.  After we arrive, we’ll head to our downtown hotel, the California Hotel & Casino(or similar).    

The rest of the day is free.  Of course, the hotel will provide us with meal coupons for 3 meals a day during our stay.

The next two days are free for you to do as you please.  However, your tour escort will meet with you each day to help you with your plans.  Want to go shopping or visit the Strip?  How about going to see a show?  Las Vegas now has a discount ticket outlet where you can save some money at any number of shows playing around town.  Your escort can help you.

A late morning flight will takes us on our last flight back to Hilo.  With our arrival in Hilo, our tour comes to an end, but we hope that all of you will have enjoyed your tour to Branson and will even have made some money in Las Vegas too!!
