Las Vegas: Go City All-Inclusive Pass with 45+ Attractions

Vegas rewards a good plan. The Go City All-Inclusive Pass gives you access to 45+ attractions over two to five consecutive days, from the High Roller and Eiffel Tower to Hoover Dam tours and museums. I like the wide choice, and I like that a three-day or longer pass includes one premium outing such as a Grand Canyon tour, helicopter flight, or Cirque du Soleil show. The main catch is simple: you must use the pass on consecutive calendar days, so a slow morning or a sick day can cost you.

At $147 per person, this is not an automatic bargain. I love it most when you group nearby attractions and start early. You need to reserve some popular activities, check opening days, and accept plenty of walking or extra transport costs. If you plan only two or three paid attractions, buy those tickets separately.

Key points to know before buying

• The High Roller ticket is daytime only: Your included admission covers the LINQ wheel between 12 pm and 5 pm, not every operating hour.
• The premium choice changes the math: A three-, four-, or five-day pass includes one major choice, such as a Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon tour, a Strip helicopter flight, or Cirque du Soleil.
• The pass runs on calendar days: Once activated, it works for the number of consecutive days purchased, not for separate 24-hour periods.
• The Big Bus tour is a useful first-day orientation: The included ticket is the classic daytime route, a handy way to see the Strip before choosing where to return.
• The app does real planning work: It shows current attractions, hours, access instructions, and can help build an itinerary.
• Some attractions are spread far apart: A rental car, rideshare, or bus may be needed, and a mobility scooter can make the Strip’s long distances and bridges tiring.

What the $147 Las Vegas pass actually buys you

The Go City All-Inclusive Pass is a digital sightseeing bundle. You choose a two-, three-, four-, or five-day version, then scan the pass at included attractions during that period.

The advertised saving is up to 50 percent compared with separate tickets. That figure is based on sample itineraries, so your result depends on what you do. The pass only saves money when you use it often enough.

The best value usually comes from combining one or two substantial activities with smaller admissions on the same day. A Hoover Dam tour, High Roller ride, Eiffel Tower visit, and museum admission can add up quickly. Add a premium choice, such as the Grand Canyon, and the longer passes can become much more attractive.

A two-day pass can still work well, but it demands focus. You cannot casually collect attractions across a week. The clock begins with your first scan, and each purchased day follows in sequence.

Your first day: get your bearings with Big Bus and the Strip

The one-day Big Bus Classic daytime tour is a sensible opening move. Las Vegas is easy to recognize but surprisingly awkward to navigate on foot. The Strip looks compact on a map, yet casino entrances, pedestrian bridges, long indoor routes, and traffic crossings can turn a short distance into a tiring outing.

Use the bus to see the main resort corridor before committing to a detailed plan. It also gives you a practical sense of which areas sit near one another. The pass includes the daytime tour, so it is less useful for visitors who want a night route or an evening view.

Pair the bus with nearby attractions, but check the current route and operating details in the app. The included attraction list can change, and opening days are not always the same from Monday to Sunday.

The pass also includes the High Roller Observation Wheel, the world’s tallest observation wheel according to the supplied experience details. Your standard admission is specifically a daytime ticket from 12 pm to 5 pm. That time restriction matters. If you want a sunset or late-night ride, confirm exactly what is included before you plan around it.

From the wheel, you get a broad view over the Strip and its large resort properties. It is a good choice for first-time visitors who want a clear sense of the city’s scale. It is also an easy attraction to fit between meals or other visits, provided you arrive during the included hours.

The LINQ area also offers the Big Apple Roller Coaster at New York-New York, another pass option. This suits you if you prefer an active ride rather than a viewpoint. Do not assume every attraction can be repeated freely on the same day. The operating rules can vary, so check the app before trying to scan in twice.

Paris, Madame Tussauds, and the best indoor stops

The Eiffel Tower Experience at Paris Las Vegas is one of the pass’s classic Strip admissions. It gives you a high viewpoint without committing to a full tour or a long drive. Check the current hours, since several people found that some attractions did not operate on every weekday.

Madame Tussauds is a useful indoor choice, especially during hot weather or when you need a break from the Strip. The wax figures provide plenty of photo opportunities, and the visit can fit neatly into a busy day.

Other included indoor attractions include:

• FlyOver, a flying-ride attraction that uses motion and visual effects
• The Tower at the STRAT
• Discovering King Tut’s Tomb at Luxor
• Real Bodies at Horseshoe Las Vegas
• Illuminarium experiences at AREA15
• Dino Safari: A Walk Thru Adventure

FlyOver received especially strong praise for its fun factor. It is the sort of activity that can surprise you because it feels different from the usual observation decks and exhibits. Real Bodies is a better fit if you enjoy anatomy and medical subjects, while King Tut’s Tomb offers an Egyptian-themed exhibition inside Luxor.

The STRAT tower is another high viewpoint, but it is located farther north than the central resorts. That distance affects your schedule. Group it with attractions in the same part of the Strip rather than zigzagging from the LINQ to the STRAT and back.

AREA15 is also away from the central casino corridor. Illuminarium can be a good reason to visit the complex, but you should allow time for transport. A car or rideshare may be more practical than trying to walk between distant parts of Las Vegas.

The premium attraction is where a three-day pass earns its keep

Passes for three or more days include one premium activity. The exact options can change, so check the app or digital guidebook before purchase and again before your trip.

The listed choices include:

• A full-day Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon tour
• A Strip Highlights Night Flight with Papillon Helicopters
• Ka by Cirque du Soleil
• Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil
• The Finger Licking self-guided Downtown Foodie Tour

This choice can change the value calculation more than any small museum admission. If you already want a Grand Canyon day tour or a Cirque du Soleil show, the three-day pass deserves serious attention.

The Grand Canyon option is a full-day commitment. It is not a quick add-on between Strip attractions. Plan it as the center of one day, with lighter activities on the days before and after. A Hoover Dam excursion may also take a substantial portion of a day, so do not cram both major outings together unless the schedules clearly allow it.

One Grand Canyon trip included a guide named Paul, who kept the group engaged throughout the day. A Hoover Dam outing had a host named America, who was praised for making the trip memorable. Guide quality can vary by departure and operator, but these names show why the guided day trips can add more than transport alone.

The Papillon night flight offers a different kind of premium experience. It is focused on the Strip after dark, rather than a full-day trip away from the city. This may suit you better if your Las Vegas visit is short and you want to keep most of your time near the resorts.

Cirque du Soleil choices are appealing if you already intended to see a show. Confirm the performance schedule and reservation process early. A pass does not remove the need to find an available seat.

The foodie tour is self-guided, which gives you more control over timing. It may fit well on a day when you want an easier pace, though it will not provide the same large-ticket value as a canyon excursion.

Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, and the cost of getting around

The pass includes a half-day Hoover Dam tour among its options. This is one of the most useful choices for seeing a major sight outside the casino district without arranging every detail yourself.

Some transportation is provided by the tour operator, but general pickup and drop-off are not included with the pass itself. A Hoover Dam operator has listed pickup points including Excalibur, Horseshoe or Bally’s, and MGM. Check your confirmation for the current meeting arrangements rather than assuming your hotel is included.

The Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon choices are full-day tours. They offer a break from the Strip and a very different setting, but they also consume one of your pass days. That is still worthwhile if the canyon is a priority. It is poor value if you would rather spend your entire visit at shows, rides, and indoor attractions.

Transportation is the pass’s quiet extra cost. Several attractions are far apart, and the Las Vegas Strip is longer and harder on your feet than first-time visitors expect. You may need a rental car, rideshare, or public bus to reach certain stops. Parking is not included.

If you use a mobility scooter, plan routes with care. Overhead pedestrian bridges are common, and long casino corridors can be exhausting. Elevator outages have also made some crossings harder. The pass can still work, but you should avoid building a schedule with distant attractions back to back.

How to plan two days without racing yourself silly

A two-day pass works best for a short list of high-value stops. I would not try to visit all 45 attractions. That turns a holiday into a timed scavenger hunt.

Start early, since your purchased days are calendar days. A late afternoon first scan can waste much of day one. Put attractions with fixed hours or reservations first, then use flexible admissions to fill gaps.

A sensible pattern might look like this:

Day one: Begin with the Big Bus daytime tour, then visit the Eiffel Tower Experience or Madame Tussauds. Fit in the High Roller between 12 pm and 5 pm. Add one nearby attraction if your timing allows.

Day two: Choose a northern Strip stop such as The STRAT and the Big Apple Roller Coaster, or spend the day at Hoover Dam. You could also focus on indoor attractions such as Real Bodies, FlyOver, King Tut’s Tomb, or Illuminarium.

That is only a framework, not a guaranteed schedule. Hours, reservations, and travel time will decide what fits.

Some people managed six to eight attractions over two days and still felt the pass paid for itself. Others found that two days were not enough to reach everything they wanted. The difference was planning, distance, and how much time each person spent at each stop.

Why three days often offer the better balance

I generally prefer the three-day pass for a first Las Vegas visit. You gain breathing room, and you receive the premium attraction.

The extra day matters because some places close on particular weekdays. It also gives you room to recover from a late night, bad weather, or a long canyon tour. You still need to use the days consecutively, but three days is less punishing than two.

The three-day option is especially strong for families and active groups. A family of four used the pass for a Hoover Dam tour, multiple Big Apple Roller Coaster rides, Real Bodies, and the LINQ zipline, and found the combined cost worthwhile. The pass gives each person a reason to choose an activity, instead of paying for a single large attraction and leaving the rest of the day unplanned.

A four- or five-day pass suits you if your visit is built around several shows, tours, museums, and rides. It may be too much if your trip includes long pool days, gambling, nightlife, or a resort-based schedule.

The Go City app is useful, but do not trust an old list

The app and digital guidebook are central to using the pass well. Sync your pass as instructed, then use the app to see current attractions, hours, reservation rules, and access instructions.

The itinerary tool can help arrange activities you want to see. I recommend making your own short list first, then letting the app help organize it. Do not blindly accept a crowded schedule without checking the map and opening hours.

The attraction line-up can change. A former attraction may be removed, a venue may close for a season, or an activity may operate only on certain days. One person arrived at a place that had permanently closed, while others found an attraction closed during part of their visit. Check again close to departure and on the morning of each pass day.

Popular activities require reservations. This is especially important for premium tours, helicopter flights, and shows. Reserve well ahead, then build the rest of your day around the confirmed booking.

Your pass is valid for one year from the purchase date before activation. It activates when you visit your first attraction, so buying ahead does not start the countdown. After that first scan, the purchased number of consecutive days begins.

You can save the pass to a phone or tablet, or print it. Keep identification with you because some activities require ID.

Small extras that help the pass pay off

Not every benefit is a major attraction. The pass includes a $15 food and drink credit at Señor Frog’s. There are also food-related options such as the self-guided Downtown Foodie Tour and a Planet Hollywood restaurant discount mentioned in the pass experience.

These extras will not rescue a poorly planned purchase, but they can reduce the cost of breaks between attractions. Señor Frog’s can work as a convenient pause if it fits your route. Always check the current terms in the app before counting a food credit in your budget.

The variety is a real strength. You can mix viewpoints, rides, museums, food, guided outings, and shows rather than repeating one type of activity. That variety is useful if gambling is not your main interest or if you are visiting with people who want different kinds of entertainment.

The weakness is choice overload. Forty-five-plus options sound generous, but you cannot realistically see everything in two days. Even with five days, distances and opening hours impose limits.

Who should buy this pass?

I would choose it for a first visit with a busy sightseeing plan, particularly if you want one of the premium options. Families, couples who like attractions, and visitors who want a canyon or helicopter outing can all get strong value.

I would be cautious if you dislike fixed schedules, plan to spend most of the trip at your hotel, or want to visit only the High Roller and Eiffel Tower. In that case, compare separate ticket prices before buying.

For most people, the three-day version is the safest balance. It gives you more room than two days and adds a premium attraction without forcing the relentless pace of a short pass.

Should you book the Las Vegas Go City Pass?

Book it if you are ready to plan, start early, reserve popular activities, and use several attractions each day. The best savings come from combining substantial admissions with one premium choice, not from buying the pass and hoping the itinerary takes care of itself.

I would buy the three-day pass for a first Vegas visit that includes the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Cirque du Soleil, or a helicopter flight. Choose two days only when your list is short and your schedule is firm. If your plans are loose, compare individual tickets first, because consecutive days and transport costs can reduce the value.
