This is a great way to get away from the gambling full-press that is the typical day to day experience in Vegas. After an initial problem in reconfirming the excursion (the phone number quoted in the email did not seem to be picking up but thanks to reception staff at our hotel - thank you TI!) everything went very smoothly. The transfer to the airport picked up exactly on time and check-in at the terminal was slick and professional. Our pilot was helpful and friendly and the flight itself was spectacular. Although brief, there is plenty of time to get pictures and videos to treasure. Following the flight we were taken to the Neon Museum. Here the pace slows down a bit as you are booked into a particular tour/show so may have to wait around a bit. However, don't be tempted to cut your visit short as the sound and light show "Brilliant" is very good and the guided tour around the boneyard was very good. Our guide (Leah? - we were on the 10pm tour on Oct 1st) was really informative and engaging.
One note - the company are at great pains to ensure you know there is no transfer back to your hotel. Once your tour ends, it is up to you to get back. The museum is only a few blocks - an easy walk - from Downton Fremont Street but although its along a main road its pretty quiet and not the best neighbourhood. We were a party of five guys, we did not feel threatened and experiencing the local "vibe" was interesting but if you are at all anxious I suggest you get the museum staff to call you a cab.
