How the score works and rating distribution in Las Vegas
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.

  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
