We were looking for a fun adventure in the desert and this did not disappoint!
The meetup spot is about 25 minutes out of town and in the middle of nowhere but donāt let that scare you off. We took a Taxi, and Uber probably would have been cheaper, or if weād book further in advance and not morning of then we could have added transport through the company. They did graciously bring us back to our hotel and we tipped them for that extra service.
Our guide, Chris, was super nice and knowledgeable. As someone who has high performance driving experience I can say that Chris is an excellent driver and youāre in for a (safe) thrill. Also, he shared with us he had about a year of training before he became a guide. You ride in a RZR⦠so thereās room for 3 passengers and they drive you. This made me feel way more comfortable because not only would it be easy to get lost on all the trails but itās very rugged. It was like a roller coaster ride without a track. I sat in the back and there was a bar you could hold, which I used.
The RZR has a roof which helps protect from the sun. I recommend wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, comfy pants that cover your legs (I wore yoga style pants). Long sleeves wouldnāt be a bad thing to help with the sun. Hats will blow off.
He will stop anytime you want to take photos or get out. We saw several wild horses and he drove us closer to them to get a better look. I mean, we are from Ky and see horses every day but thereās something about seeing wild ones. He also took us to an area to see some petroglyphs- which was so cool! You ride over to Pioneer Saloon and can get a drink or meal if youād like. That in itself is cool to visit.
The excursion was pricey and I donāt normally splurge like that, but Iām glad I did. Highly recommend this if youāre visiting Vegas - WAAYY better than anything on the strip!
