Desert RZR Adventure with Lunch at the Historic Pioneer Saloon - My experience was with the Desert RZR Adventure with Lunch at the Historic Pioneer Saloon tour.
If you are an adrenaline junkie and are looking for an awesome, fun and exciting off-roading experience this is the company and group of folks you want to book with. My family and I had so much fun and blew our expectations. I've driven with other tour groups in the valley and there is no comparison to these guys. I spoke with Jeff, the co-owner, over the phone and he was great to deal with. He handled my reservation and gave me a thorough run down of what to expect. The pick up from Bellagio was a breeze. They communicated how many minutes they were away and also confirmed the pick up reservation the night before. There is no fee for the shuttle pick up as well. Our driver for the shuttle was Steve and he was a pleasure to speak with. He was giving us some tips and amping us up on the way to basecamp. He kept saying how much fun we were going to have and how the trails were so diverse, he wasn't wrong.
When we arrived every one of the workers, including the mechanic, greeted us and shook all of our hands. I was impressed with the professionalism provided by the team. They made us feel welcomed and I felt like I was in great hands. They immediately got us fitted for helmets and we got straight to business with the safety brief and picking our lunch at Pioneer Saloon. Ghost burger at the saloon was delicious and was not too spicy for my taste. It was recommended by the guys. After our brief they gave us a quick demo on operations of the RZR 1000. These are brand new vehicles that have a lot of power and you will definitely feel it in your ass-dyno. Each vehicle has an on board radio system so you can hear the passenger in your car as well as the tour guide. You can also connect your phone to the RZR via bluetooth to listen to music. The speakers are really loud, so you will hear it over the engine. The RZRs are super fun and fast, but please, please, please be responsible and do not abuse these things. They are pricy to fix and a broken RZR doesn't help these guys at all and I want them to have all the success in the business, because they are the real deal and want to provide everyone with an exceptional and exciting experience. Plus, the guys are just hardworking dudes trying to do them best for their customers.
Our tour guide on the excursion was Nick. Real cool dude who knew so much about the trails and was able to gauge our skill level just by observing our driving. He asked if we had experience with the RZRs before, which we did, but still wanted to make sure we could handle the trails. It was a new trail for me, so I didn’t want to push it too much in the beginning. He would tell us before hand about any sharp curves or cautious ares that would come up, so we could avoid them. From the start of the tour we were driving for at least an hour to 1 hour 20 min. Just ripping through the desert, but also doing some more technical work as well. It was a hell of a ride. We took a quick break, had a snack, which they provide and then we got back on the trail. We drove another 45 - 50 minutes to the Saloon, again just ripping the trails. It was awesome. Not going to lie, I got a little swirly and had to calm myself down, but you go at your own pace that you feel comfortable with. Nick drove far enough ahead, so he could call out any issues and so you’re not getting dusted out and can see the trail.
His knowledge of the terrain and the saloon was impressive. He, like myself, are native born and raised Vegas kids, so it was pretty cool just hearing how he got into the business and some of the stories and experiences he had with the RZRs and other faster, more powerful vehicles in the Polaris family. Nick was really easy to talk to and I noticed he had a really good rapport with the staff at Pioneer Saloon, so the staff at the saloon took real good care of us and we got our food right away. After lunch at the saloon we headed back to base camp which was about another 20 -30 minute ride. Again ripping through the trails. At no point during the tour were we putting around on a flat straight. If there were no huge rocks or technical routes we were hauling ass and taking names. In total I think our trip odometer read we had gone somewhere between 70-75 miles. Thats a lot of desert we were sending it with these RZRs!
I don’t normally write reviews this long, but the entire experience from the moment I made the booking, the call with Jefferey, meeting the shuttle driver, the crew at basecamp and everything was just so impressive and blew me away. The hospitality and friendliness of everyone was beyond 5 stars. Sounds cliche, but these guys and this company set the standard for off-road tours and experiences. I would recommend these guys and this company in a heartbeat to anybody hands down. I plan to go back as a graduation present to my cousin once he finishes college and gets his license. Looking forward to another awesome experience. And Jeff - if you’re reading this dude. Just know you got a great bunch of guys working for you over there. Nick is an awesome dude and he just made the tour that much better for all of us. Really everyone did, so I very much appreciated being a part of your tour and your customer base. Until next time!

Amazing - Amazing day. Very good service. Great powerful machines. From the tour bus driver, the desk clerks, the guide and owners, everyone had safety as a priority yet provided us more fun than we thought it would be. These people really care. Thank you, my son and I had a wonderful experience. We will go back and had my 2 other sons to the party.

Anniversary trip! - Wow! What an amazing experience us North Carolinians had riding through the desert with Vegas Off Road tours! It was our 25th wedding anniversary and we wanted to do something fun and adventurous! We chose the Pioneer which allowed us to ride through the desert and then have lunch at the historic saloon The Pioneer! We had hamburgers and they were very good! We were fortunate to see wild horses 2 separate times on our ride and a coyote. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun! The GM came out to meet us, was such a sweet lady. She made us feel so welcome! If you are even thinking about booking this tour, just do it! We were worried about the heat but it was honestly more comfortable out there riding than walking the strip! The desert wind keeps you cooler! I cant say enough about our experience! 10 out of 10 recommend!

Best excursion ever! - What a great day! Steve and Nick were helpful and professional all day, helpful on the trail and knowledgeable about all of our questions. I will put this on my list anytime I’m in Vegas. The rest of the staff that we met were great. There was a group with us that did not speak great English and the staff took time to help them with the trip.

Outstanding adventure - My daughter and I wanted an experience that was fun but also more than just driving around in a circle. Additionally, something that was still exhilarating while safe. Well this was it. Everything single thing about this was top notch and exceeded expectations. We couldn't have enjoyed the experience more. When we return to Las Vegas we'll most assuredly will book another trip with this family owned business. The guides, bus driver and hostess couldn't have been nicer, while the lunch provided was an unique experience in and of itself. If you are looking for an exciting opportunity to enjoy the desert this is your ticket.

Fun in the Desert Mountains - Super fun riding in the desert with amazing views; we are Fallout fans so getting to ride to the Pioneer Saloon was a major treat. Even if you don’t have UTV experience book this trip!
