Sometimes you need to escape the slot machines and neon lights for something that gets your heart racing in a completely different way. At 104 degrees, my crew and I decided it was the perfect time to trade air conditioning for adrenaline. Best ATV Tours LV delivered.
Escape the Strip, Find the Desert
We got picked up directly from Mandalay Bay and were out in the Mojave before we knew it. The transition from casino carpets to sandy trails happens faster than you’d expect. Suddenly you’re surrounded by canyon walls that make you forget Vegas even exists.
Once we arrived, the team suited us up in full protective gear. I’m talking full Darth Vader vibes. They walked us through safety procedures, and none of us had any off-roading experience. Didn’t matter. Their patient instruction had us feeling confident before we even touched the throttle.
Side-by-Side Buggies: Perfect for Pairs
We went with the side-by-side buggies, which turned out to be the ideal choice for couples and friends who want to share the ride. There’s something about tearing through sandy desert trails together, kicking up dust while the Mojave stretches out around you.
If you’re flying solo or want full control, they also offer individual ATVs for guests 18 and older. The buggies accommodate riders 16 and up when accompanied by a parent, so it’s a solid option for families with older teens.
