FAMILY ADVENTURE
A Las Vegas day your kids will actually remember
Looking for things to do in Las Vegas with kids that go beyond the casino floor and the buffet line? About 45 minutes south of the Strip, families climb into side by side vehicles and ride a private desert trail through Eldorado Canyon, the same landscape featured in 3000 Miles to Graceland, Beyonce, the Jonas Brothers, Bad Bunny, Lainey Wilson, and Luke Bryan. It is hands on, wide open, and built for all ages, with our adventure experts leading every step.
While every other Las Vegas family guide sends you to another indoor attraction, this is the real thing. Fresh air, open desert, a ghost town, a gold mine, and a story the kids will retell long after the trip ends. We have 5 tours to choose from, ranging from 2 hours on site up to a packed full day adventure of 5.5 to 6 hours on site, and the stops mentioned here are on selected tours, so ask us which tour includes what you want to see.
WHY WE ARE WORTH IT
More time, more to see, more of an adventure
You will find cheaper ATV outings around Las Vegas, but they hand you a short ride and send you home. Awesome Adventures is a full Destination. You get more time on the trail, the only private trail system in Eldorado Canyon, a historic ghost town and the 1861 gold mine, a stop at the Colorado River, free photos and videos, and VIP small group service from start to finish. It costs a little more because it is a lot more.

The adventure is full of stops that keep kids wide eyed the whole way. These are visits along the route, open for everyone to enjoy.
Wild West Ghost Town
Kids just love walking through and seeing all the weathered buildings, vintage cars, and one of a kind antiques with cool stories to hear. Famous stars film here all the time, it is like the Old West meeting Mad Max. This is a stop you explore on foot, not ride through.

COME PREPARED
What to bring for a family desert tour
We supply all your safety gear and water during the tour. It is mandatory to wear closed toe shoes.
- Long sleeves and pants are strongly recommended due to desert terrain, cacti, rocks, brush, and wildlife, plus if riding an ATV your legs are next to the muffler and will get hot. Dress for the weather and desert conditions.
- We recommend zipper clothing or fanny pack, or small backpack to hold your belongings, so they do not fall out of your pockets while riding. If you lose items on the trails, most likely it will be lost or damaged.
- Hair MUST be flat enough to fit under a helmet.
- Water is provided during the tour. You may bring additional snacks or beverages if desired.
Best time to go with kids
Fall through spring is prime season, with mild days and cool mornings that are easy for younger riders. Summer runs hot, so tours start earlier, and every ride includes unlimited ice cold water, coolie neck ties, and sunscreen, or take advantage of our beautiful sunset tour, where the towering canyons offer shade for a cooler ride.
Starting at $140 per person
