Why Awesome Adventures
Anyone Can Sell You a Ride. We Give You a Whole Adventure.
When you search for a Las Vegas ATV tour, the prices look all over the map, and it is tempting to just pick the cheapest one. But a low price and a great day are not the same thing. Most of the time, the cheapest ride actually costs you more when you compare apples to apples regarding what is included in the tour type and what you expect from your experience. We take pride in offering more than just a ride. We have 5 tours to choose from, and no other company offers our one-of-a-kind tours.
The real question is not which tour costs the least, it is which one gives you the day you will actually remember. Awesome Adventures is a full Must See and Do Destination in Eldorado Canyon, about forty five minutes south of the Strip, led by our Adventure Experts. It is a place real productions choose too, from the film 3000 Miles to Graceland to shoots with Beyonce, the Jonas Brothers, Bad Bunny, Lainey Wilson, and Luke Bryan. Compare what is really included, and let the facts speak.

You Are Not Renting a Quad, You Are Booking a Day
Most Vegas ATV tours drop you on a shared trail for an hour and send you home. An Awesome Adventures day unfolds like chapters. It begins on the private trail through Eldorado Canyon, winds past Nelson Ghost Town, and reaches the famous Techatticup Gold Mine, established in 1861, where the temperature drops to a steady 70 degrees inside.
On select RZR tours, the day continues to the Colorado River for a group picnic lunch, swimming in the warmer months, a short hike down to the water, and a jump spot into the river. When you add up the ride time, the destinations, the photos, and the extras, the value per dollar is not close. This is why guests come for the ride and leave talking about the whole day.
The Only Private Trail System in Eldorado Canyon
You never share the trail with another company’s group. The pace is yours, the guides know every wash and ridge, and the scenery is not a crowded public route. Our Adventure Experts, guides like Alisha, Jensen, and Dillon, are the reason a private trail becomes a genuinely better ride, and a private trail plus experienced guides also means a safer, calmer experience for families and first-time riders.
A Fleet for Every Kind of Rider
A typical rental gives you one kind of machine. We match the vehicle to your group. Solo riders can take a nimble Honda 250cc ATV, while friends and families ride together in a Polaris RZR 900 two seater or four seater, a Polaris RZR 1000 four seater, or the Polaris Ranger 800 Crew Cab. The Colorado River tours run on our RZR models, so the whole group reaches the water together.

What a Lower Price Usually Leaves Out
A rock-bottom price often means a shorter ride, a shared public trail, photos sold separately, no destinations, and no after-ride experience. The point is not that cheaper tours are bad, it is that they are a different, smaller thing. Choose Awesome Adventures when you want the day to be a Must See and Do highlight of your trip, not a checkbox.
As Seen On Screen
Our canyon and its trails have hosted major productions, including the film 3000 Miles to Graceland and shoots with Beyonce, the Jonas Brothers, Bad Bunny, Lainey Wilson, and Luke Bryan. When artists and film crews want the real desert, this is where they come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an Awesome Adventures tour worth the price?
Yes. You are not paying for a quick ride, you are booking a full day that includes a private trail through Eldorado Canyon, real destinations like Nelson Ghost Town and the historic Techatticup Gold Mine, free professional photos and videos, full safety gear, and an Adventure Zone after the ride. Add it all up and the value per dollar is hard to beat.
Why are some Las Vegas ATV tours cheaper?
Lower-priced tours are usually shorter, often around an hour, on shared public trails, with photos and extras sold separately and no destination stops. They are a smaller experience. Awesome Adventures is a full Must See and Do Destination, which is why the day includes far more.
