REVIEW · ATV & DUNE BUGGY TOURS
Off Road Racing: 5 Laps
Tires, turns, and dirt flying just outside Vegas. This off-road racing experience sends you onto a custom 1-mile dirt course with jumps and turns, while a pro coaches you through the action via an onboard headset. You also get an included lunch and a bonus monster-truck-limo ride, which is a pretty sharp break from the Strip.
I especially like the onboard coaching. It turns a nervous first run into something you can actually control, and the instructors stay engaged the whole session. I also like that lunch is built in—burger, fries, and soda—so you’re not hunting food after the dust settles.
One thing to consider: 5 laps can feel short if you catch the bug. Also, I’d ask upfront what happens if you damage any part of the vehicle, since a few people felt the responsibility terms were not clear enough.

Why This Off-Road Race Beats Another Vegas Tour

Vegas is loud, polished, and fast. This tour is different on purpose. You get out of the city energy and into a dirt track environment where your job is simple: steer, accelerate, and listen.
What makes it interesting is the mix of structure and freedom. You drive a purpose-built course with turns and jumps, but you still set your own speed. The pro instructor helps with the details that matter in off-road racing—how to approach jumps, how to handle traction changes, and how not to panic when the vehicle bucks.
And yes, the novelty factor is real. A Guinness-listed monster truck limo ride is not what most people plan for on a Vegas morning. It’s the kind of extra you’re glad you didn’t skip.
Pickups, Timing, and How the 4-Hour Plan Feels

This experience runs about 4 hours total. You’ll choose either a morning or afternoon start, with pickup at 7:00am or 1:00pm from your Las Vegas Strip hotel.
That timing is one of the best parts for visitors who want activity without losing the whole day. Morning pickup gives you time back in the afternoon for pool time, dinner, or more casino wandering. Afternoon pickup still keeps it easy: you race, eat, do the limo ride, and you’re usually back without the “where did my day go” feeling.
Group size is capped at 15 travelers, which matters. Smaller groups tend to move faster, and you’re less likely to feel like you’re waiting forever to gear up.
The 1-Mile Dirt Track: Turns, Jumps, and Catch-Air Coaching

The action centers on a custom-built 1-mile dirt course inspired by Lucas Oil. It’s designed around a steady run of turns and jumps—7 turns and 6 jumps—so you don’t just do one thrill moment. You get repeated chances to build confidence.
You’ll be instructed for the duration of the race by a professional driver using an onboard headset. That’s a big deal for first-timers. You’re not standing around listening to a safety lecture and then going quiet. The coach stays part of your run.
Also: “catch air” is possible, but it’s based on ability. Translation: they’re not pushing everyone into the same jump at the same intensity. You’ll get guidance to match your comfort level, which is what keeps the experience fun instead of chaotic.

Choosing Your Ride: Pro-lite Truck, Dune Buggy, or Razor
One of the easiest ways to tailor this tour is the vehicle choice. You can pick from:
- Pro-lite truck
- Dune buggy
- Razor
The pro-lite truck is a good fit if you want a traditional off-road racing feel—bigger vehicle energy, bigger presence. The dune buggy option tends to feel more nimble, especially through tighter turns where quick steering corrections matter. The Razor often gets picked by people who want that aggressive go-kart-like off-road vibe.
If you’re doing this with friends, vehicle choice can also help with comfort levels. Some people want the thrill immediately. Others want a gentler first pass and then push speed once they understand the track rhythm.
Either way, your experience is supported by safety equipment and coaching, and you’ll drive on a track built for racing rather than some random dirt path.
Race Day Basics: Safety Gear and How the Coaching Works

Before you drive, you’ll put on safety gear. Then you get behind the wheel and start racing. Closed toe shoes are required, so skip sandals and plan for dust.
The biggest practical advantage here is how they coach. You’re not learning from guesswork. The instructor is in the moment with you via headset, and that helps you focus on the essentials:
- where the vehicle will want to go next
- how to approach jumps without overthinking
- how to keep control as the terrain changes
From the vibe of multiple guide mentions in customer feedback (names like James, Vick, Drew, Draven, Ray), the staff seems to match the track’s intensity with a friendly tone. You’ll still get firm direction, but it’s delivered like someone wants you to succeed.
A small tip I’d give: wear shoes you don’t mind getting wrecked. Dirt is part of the deal. One person suggested bringing water shoes so you can swap after the mud factor, which is a smart move if you hate walking around in grimy footwear afterward.
The Included Lunch at Arizona Last Stop

After the dirt track portion, you’ll head to the onsite restaurant and bar for lunch. The meal is included and simple: world famous burger, fries, and soda.
This matters for value because racing tours can be stingy or vague about food. Here, you know exactly what you’re getting, and it’s timed so you can refuel without turning the tour into a long day.
You’ll also find there’s a vegetarian option available, which makes this easier to plan for mixed groups.
Practical note: if you’re sensitive to greasy food after adrenaline, eat at a normal pace. You’ll still feel better fast, but don’t rush it just because you’re hungry.
The Guinness Monster Truck Limo Ride: The Bonus You’ll Actually Remember

This tour includes a free ride in the world’s largest monster truck limo, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
This is the kind of add-on that can either feel gimmicky or genuinely memorable. Here, it lands because it’s not competing with the main experience. It’s more like a celebratory bow after your race runs.
If your group is a mix—some hardcore motorsports people and some “I just want a fun Vegas break”—this limo ride is the part that helps everyone share the same story afterward.
Price and Value: What $405.79 Covers for 5 Laps

Let’s talk money. At $405.79 per person, this isn’t a bargain. The value comes from what’s bundled, and from how long you keep the fun running.
You get:
- pickup and drop-off from the Las Vegas Strip (two pickup options)
- safety gear
- off-road racing for 5 laps
- live onboard coaching
- lunch (burger, fries, soda; vegetarian option)
- the Guinness monster truck limo ride
If you compare it to piecing together similar activities on your own—transport, guided instruction, and a guaranteed meal—this package style can make more sense. You pay for convenience and for the fact that someone else has built the track, organized the vehicles, and staffed the experience.
That said, 5 laps is the main limiter. Many people came away wishing they had booked more laps. If you’re the kind of person who loves motorsports, you’ll likely feel like the session ends right when you start to get your stride.
Also, be thoughtful about vehicle condition and responsibility terms. A few reviews raised concerns about vehicle mechanical condition and about how damage responsibility might work. That doesn’t mean your ride will be a problem, but it does mean you should ask staff what the rules are before you sign anything.
Who This Tour Fits Best (And Who Might Want More Track Time)

This is best for:
- people who want an off-Strip adventure without a full-day commitment
- first-timers who like the idea of onboard coaching
- groups where at least one person wants to drive, and others want to watch
There’s also a non-driver package, so you can join the tour and spectate if you don’t want to drive.
Who might want to rethink the lap count:
- anyone who’s already done go-kart racing and wants more time behind the wheel
- anyone who’s paying for “experience value” rather than a quick thrill
If you’re excited but worried that 5 laps won’t satisfy, choose the extra lap option next time if it’s available for your group’s budget. The logic is simple: your confidence builds during the first laps, so more time usually equals more fun.
Rules You Need to Know Before You Pack
This tour has clear requirements, and they’re there for a reason.
- Drivers must be 18+ and show a valid government-issued ID on arrival. A driver’s license is not required.
- Minimum age is 6. Kids under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- Pregnant women are not allowed due to safety concerns.
- Closed toe shoes are required.
- Service animals are allowed.
- Alcoholic drinks are not included (they’re available for purchase).
Also, confirmation is received at booking, and the experience is run by Las Vegas Off Road Racing.
One practical planning idea: bring your ID the day of the tour, not the night before when you can lose it in a hotel bag.
Should You Book Las Vegas Off Road Racing?
Book it if you want a true change of pace from the Strip and you enjoy structured adrenaline. The combination of onboard coaching, a dedicated race track with turns and jumps, and a real included meal makes it feel like a complete activity, not just a quick ride.
I’d also book it if your group has mixed comfort levels. The non-driver option helps everyone participate without forcing anyone into the driver seat.
Skip or reassess if you’re very budget-sensitive or if you know you’re going to want much more time driving than 5 laps provides. In that case, push for longer laps. And before you go, ask directly about how vehicle damage responsibility works so there are no surprises mid-day.
If you’re okay with a short, coached burst of off-road racing plus an unforgettable limo bonus, this is exactly the kind of Vegas trip that pays off fast.
