Ride an ATV across the Mojave Desert on a guided Las Vegas tour with transport, gear, mountain views, and a beginner-friendly private track.

“Tour itself was good. However, we were called the day before and asked if we would switch to another time. It was implied that if we didnt switch our tour would be canceled. But when we got to the pickup spot on the day of the tour we were then advised by our guide that there was another group who was shooting guns first and we would have to wait for them before we could do our tour we booked. We waited about 40 minutes at a convenience store place then to do our ATV tour. The tour guide was nice and apologized.”
