💡Can you drive the RZR yourself on the Mojave Desert tour?
Yes, on the Mojave Desert RZR tour licensed drivers 18+ can drive a Polaris RZR themselves, on a 4-hour guided trip from Las Vegas for $114.99 per person, with a passenger-only ride option also offered. You drive about 2.5 hours through Sandy Valley terrain past Joshua trees and rock formations, after a safety briefing and shuttle to Base Camp; drivers can switch. Best for those age 12+ wanting hands-on off-road driving, not for those with neck, spinal, or heart conditions.

🎯 Why People Book This

What makes people pick this is the chance to drive a Polaris RZR yourself through Mojave Desert trails, not just ride along while a guide does the work. For USD 114.99 per person, you get 2.5 hours on the terrain split between two areas, and licensed drivers can switch off so a pair can share the wheel. The real choice here is whether you want to drive or only ride, since the passenger option drops the credit card hold and the driving option puts you in control. It suits people who'd rather handle the vehicle than sit through a scenic transfer.

🗺️ The Experience

The Guided Mojave Desert Off Road RZR Adventure is a 4-hour guided Polaris RZR tour through the Mojave Desert near Sandy Valley, starting at USD 114.99 per person and built around 2.5 hours of trail time.
What you are buying here is not a drive you have to plan. The base camp sits about 30 minutes south of the Strip, in Jean, and most of the day's machinery is handled for you: a roughly 30-minute shuttle out, a 30-minute safety briefing, the full-face helmet, the orientation, and the RZR itself all come included before you touch a trail. That leaves the four hours split cleanly, with 2.5 hours of actual driving and the rest in transit and prep.
The trail time itself breaks into two parts. You spend the longer stretch pushing deep into the Nevada terrain by RZR, climbing hills and passing the Joshua trees and rock formations most people only see from a highway, then an hour around Sandy Valley before heading back to base camp. A guide leads throughout, and the desert tortoise and local flora get explained along the way rather than left as scenery.
The price decides how you ride. The options run from a passenger seat alongside the guide, where no vehicle hold applies, up to driving a 2- or 4-seat vehicle yourself, which carries a $750 credit card hold. The base fare gets you into the desert; the tier you pick decides whether you steer or just hold on.

🤔 Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: The part worth weighing is what an RZR gives you that an ATV doesn't: you sit in a roll cage with a seat and a wheel instead of straddling a quad, which changes who's comfortable spending four hours in the Mojave. This is for the driver who wants to bring someone who'd never get on an ATV but will happily ride shotgun in something with doors. The perfect 5/5 across 390 reviews backs that up.
Worth it if:
  • you want to do the driving but bring a passenger who'd never balance on a quad themselves
  • you'd rather sit and steer a side-by-side than grip a handlebar for the full 4 hours
  • you want a real off-road day out of the desert near Vegas without it eating the whole day
Skip it if:
  • you're riding solo and want the most direct seat-of-the-pants version of this, the 2-Hour Nellis Dunes ATV Desert Ride at $95 is faster, cheaper, and more raw
  • four hours in the heat is more desert than you actually want, in which case a shorter ride suits you better
Choose this over the Half-Day Mojave Desert ATV Adventure if:
  • you want a passenger along and a cage around you rather than two people on separate quads, that preference matters more than the small price difference

💡 Insider Tip

If you want to drive rather than just ride, pick the 2-Seat or 4-Seat option, not a Passenger Ride - only the driving tiers carry the $750 credit card hold, and only on those can licensed adults swap who's at the wheel mid-tour.

LasVegasTour Editorial Review

4.5
LasVegasTour Rating

What you're buying here is the trail itself, not a sightseeing loop: of the four hours, only 2.5 are actually off-road, with a 30-minute safety briefing and a 30-minute shuttle to Base Camp eating the rest. The drive-switch option means a passenger can take the wheel too. Worth it for anyone wanting real desert driving near Joshua trees, less so if you expected four hours of seat time. Note the $750 credit card hold per vehicle.
