The Experience

You pick up the GoCar at the Las Vegas meeting location and drive it yourself following GPS-guided directions and storytelling audio. The route starts on city streets—passing the STRAT Tower, Fashion Show, Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, and other Vegas landmarks—before heading into the open desert toward Red Rock Canyon. The GPS handles navigation and timing, so you're free to stop for photos, linger at scenic viewpoints, or take short walks without worrying about getting lost or falling behind schedule.

Red Rock Canyon's 13-mile Scenic Loop is the centerpiece. You'll drive through towering red sandstone cliffs, stop at the Visitor Center to explore exhibits and learn about the Mojave Desert, and pull over at overlooks to take in the landscape. The open-air GoCar has a roof and cooling/misting system, so you stay comfortable even in desert heat. The audio narration—available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and over 45 other languages—tells the story of what you're seeing as you drive, turning the route into more than just sightseeing.

The 5-hour duration includes travel time from Las Vegas to Red Rock Canyon and back, which means you're not rushed through the Scenic Loop or the Visitor Center. Park entry is included from October 1 through May 31; summer guests pay the park fee directly at the gate. You'll receive a safety briefing and driving instructions before you leave, and bottled water with a cooler is provided for the drive.
