★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 152 reviews

Drive an ATV or UTV across Nevada’s open desert near the Apex OHV Area. After a safety briefing and gear fitting, you get two hours to choose rocky trails or softer sand, with the freedom to ride at your own pace. Bring ID and closed-toe shoes, and arrange your own transport from Las Vegas.

“This was an awesome experience, I didn’t quite realise or expect the actual amount of land and freedom you get! It’s a good 20 min drive from the strip so if you’re not hiring a car expect to pay a good 30+ dollars each way to get there. That being said I think for the price the experience is it is still worth every penny. Super laid back and no wasting of time , you just get to go out there and have at it. Highly recommend you save a pin on your maps app so you know where to head back because if you do venture like we did…”
