Ride an ATV through the Mojave Desert from Las Vegas, with gear, guides, Strip transfers, mountain views, and a beginner-friendly private trail.
“Went today on the ATV’s after being cancelled twice as there was not enough to run the tour. It was boring, only could go 15km/hr around in circle. Flat terrain, no sandhill riding or variety. If you are an experienced rider, forget it.”

Miami by bus and boat for $34: see South Beach, Little Havana, Wynwood, Bayside, and Millionaire's Row in one busy half-day.
“Online reservation was easy and fast. Be there 30min before your departure time. Double decker bus with open top gives opportunity to take good photos. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the city. Second half of the day in the boat was excellent guided tour. Spent time at the bayfront Park at the end of the day. This is the best way to see the city.”
