REVIEW · ATV & DUNE BUGGY TOURS
Off-Road Racing and Outdoor Shooting Package
This is the kind of Las Vegas day that feels like Mad Max, minus the trouble. You get live coaching through an onboard headset while you race a pro dirt course, then you switch gears to a private Desert Storm gun range with a serious selection of automatic firepower. I especially like that you can choose to drive or ride along with a group, so the whole crew can enjoy it.
If you’re planning to drive, the main consideration is age and physical limits: off-road drivers must be 18+ with photo ID, and pregnant women can’t participate for safety reasons.

More dust on the desert trails
Mad Max Racing With Live Headset Coaching on a Pro-Style Track

The core of this experience is off-road racing in a desert setting that really leans into the movie vibe. You’re not just getting a quick spin around a dusty lot. The track is designed like a race course, with the layout influenced by real pro racing sections, and the pace is meant to test your driving skills.
The big value for you is the one-on-one instruction. You’re given live coaching through an onboard headset while you’re on the course. That matters because it turns the day from try-your-best chaos into actual technique: how to set up for turns, where to carry speed, and how to handle jumps without overcorrecting. Even if you’ve never driven off-road, the headset coaching helps you build confidence fast.
And you can feel the intent in the track details. You’re doing 7 laps around the pro dirt track, which gives you enough time to learn the flow, not just survive a single lap. The course also includes 7 turns and 6 extreme jumps, so you’ll spend plenty of time practicing cornering decisions and jump timing, not just straight-line speed.
Choosing Your Vehicle: Truck, Buggy, Razor, or the Non-Driver Package

If you want control over your experience, you’ll like that you can choose a race vehicle. Options include a race Truck, Buggy, or Razor—each one changes how the track feels under you. If you’re unsure what to pick, go with what matches your comfort level: some people prefer the stability feel of trucks, while others like the lighter, more agile feel that buggies often provide on dirt.
The smart move for group trips is that you don’t have to drive to participate. There’s a non-driver package for people who want to watch and be part of the experience without taking the wheel. That’s handy for:
- first-timers who don’t want the responsibility of racing,
- anyone who wants to focus on the shooting portion,
- groups with mixed comfort levels.
This is also why the day works well for bachelor and group celebrations. People can take turns driving in the same overall half-day structure while everyone still feels like they got full access to the action.
The Off-Road Details That Matter for Your Comfort (and Your Safety)
This kind of activity looks intense on paper, but what makes it enjoyable is how the setup handles safety and clarity. Safety equipment is included, and you’ll get commentary as part of the ride experience. That means you’re not left guessing what you’re supposed to be doing at the moments that count.
The practical stuff is important. You’ll need closed toe shoes (sneakers or running shoes work). That’s not just a rule for the provider—it’s also a real comfort issue when you’re in and out of a vehicle and moving around on uneven ground.
And if you’re planning this trip for a mixed group, the eligibility rules are worth understanding upfront:
- Off-road drivers must be 18 years old and show photo ID at pickup.
- Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- Pregnant women can’t participate due to safety concerns.
None of this is surprising for an off-road racing day, but knowing it ahead of time helps you avoid scrambling later.

Shooting at Desert Storm: Full-Auto Firepower in a Military-Style Setting

After the racing portion, you’ll shift to shooting at a private outdoor gun range designed around a Desert Storm theme. The range includes military style bunkers, which adds atmosphere and also helps create a structured shooting environment.
The shooting itself is a big reason people book this combo. The experience includes an outdoor shooting package of your choice, and it includes full automatic machine guns. That’s not a minor detail. Automatic firepower changes what you focus on: stance, breath control, trigger discipline, and staying calm when the noise and recoil hit.
If you’re a beginner, you’ll still get value from this stop, because the instructors emphasize handling and guidance. In the past, range teaching has been handled by instructors like Ernie, and that name shows up alongside phrases like “top” teaching and smooth gun performance. If you get an instructor with that kind of teaching style, you’ll likely feel guided rather than thrown in.
Also, the specific guns you get can depend on the package you select. One group described shooting hand guns, mini machine guns, assault rifles, and even a 50 Cal sniper rifle as a finale. That’s a good sign that at least some package levels can include heavy hitters—so when you’re choosing your shooting package, don’t just pick based on price. Pick based on the types of guns you want to experience.
Why the Live Host Makes a Big Difference: Vick on the Ride and Range

A lot of Vegas tours are just transport plus activity. This one adds something more human: a host and guides who bring context while you’re moving and while you’re shooting.
In the off-road and drive-out experience, Vick has been specifically praised for being informative and funny, with solid local knowledge. People also credit that kind of hosting with making the day feel smoother—like you’re not just waiting for the next stop, but understanding what you’re seeing and why it matters.
On the range side, the instructor role is just as important. The most consistent feedback is that instructors explain handling in a way that supports both first-timers and more experienced shooters. That’s the difference between a loud photo-op and an actual skill-building experience.
The Guinness Monster Truck Limo Ride and Included Lunch Break

One reason this package feels like more than the sum of its parts is that it doesn’t end at racing plus shooting. You get a FREE ride on the World’s Largest Monster Truck Limo, noted as being in the Guinness Book of World Records.
That matters because it gives your group a mid-day or between-activities moment that’s fun even if you’re tired. It also helps the day stay social, which is useful if you’re traveling with friends who aren’t as into guns or racing as you are.
And you won’t be stuck searching for food while everyone’s hungry. Lunch is included: world famous burger, fries, and soda. It’s the kind of simple meal that actually works well here, because you don’t need to think about dietary planning decisions mid-activity. You just eat, reset, and get ready for the next stretch.
Pickup in the Morning: What to Expect From a 7:00 AM Start

The tour starts around 7:00 am, and you’re picked up from most Las Vegas Strip hotels. If you’re staying off the Strip, you’ll want to confirm whether pickup is available at your specific location.
You should also plan for a quick coordination step: you’ll arrange pickup by calling the reservation line about 24 hours before your reservation to verify hotel location. That’s one of those details that can save you real stress—especially in a city with lots of hotels and similar names.
Because the group size has a maximum of 14 travelers, the day tends to feel more controlled and less like a cattle-car schedule. Smaller groups also usually mean more attention during the racing and range instructions, which is what you want for an activity that depends on safety.
Price and Value: Is $621.71 a Good Deal for This Much Action?

At $621.71 per person, this isn’t the cheapest thing to do in Las Vegas. But if you look at what’s included, the pricing starts to make sense as a bundled day:
- racing time on a pro-style course with equipment and live coaching,
- a private outdoor shooting range with your selected package,
- safety equipment,
- lunch (burger, fries, soda),
- pickup and drop-off from Strip hotels,
- and a Guinness-record monster truck limo ride.
If you tried to buy off-road racing and a shooting range separately, you’d likely end up paying more for transport, instruction, and scheduling gaps. Here, the day is structured so you’re not moving between vendors all by yourself.
That said, value depends on you. If you really want both racing and shooting, this is the kind of day that earns its keep. If you only care about one half, it can feel pricey for what you’ll actually use. In that case, consider whether you’d rather book only the racing portion elsewhere or skip the entire package.
Who Should Book This Off-Road and Shooting Combo

You’ll probably love this if:
- you want a true action day in the desert, not just a city tour,
- you like getting instruction in real time (the headset coaching is the hook),
- you’re traveling with a group and want a non-driver option,
- shooting is on your bucket list and you want an instructor-led experience rather than a self-guided setup.
You should think twice if:
- driving is not realistic for you (driver rules require 18+ with photo ID),
- you need an environment that’s calm and quiet (this is loud and high-energy),
- you can’t participate for medical or safety reasons (pregnancy is not allowed in this adventure).
Should You Book It?
Book it if you want a single morning that turns into two different kinds of adrenaline: racing with headset coaching and shooting at a themed private range. It’s well set up for groups, it includes lunch, and it adds that Guinness monster truck limo ride so the day stays fun even between the main activities.
Skip it if you’re only curious about one part. This package is built to deliver both racing and shooting as a full 4-hour style adventure. If that fits your idea of a great Las Vegas day, you’ll likely feel like you got your money’s worth.
