💡What is the Figure 8 track on the Vegas ATV ghost town ride?

The Figure 8 track is a section of this 1-hour ATV ride near a desert ghost town that lets you test your limits on a looping course, departing from Las Vegas for $105 per person. You ride one ATV each through Joshua trees, canyon walls, desert washes, whoops, gravel, and hairpin turns, with a chance to spot mustangs, burros, and jackrabbits, then visit the 100-year-old Pioneer Saloon nearby. It suits riders of any fitness level who want both technical and easy terrain.

🎯 Why People Book This

At its core, this tour is about an hour of driving an ATV yourself across desert terrain near Goodsprings, one rider per machine, with the Figure 8 track as the section built to let you test how hard you can push. At USD 105 per person, it's a short, low-commitment way to ride real trails without owning gear or planning a day around it. The terrain mixes Joshua tree stands, canyon walls and hairpin turns, and the operator rates it for all fitness levels. What you're choosing is hands-on time at the controls over a longer, easier ride you mostly watch go by.

🗺️ The Experience

This is a 60-minute ATV ride on desert trails around a ghost town near Goodsprings, Nevada, about 30 minutes from the Strip, at USD 105 per person, with one ATV per rider.

The ride itself is the whole product, and it is short and intense rather than a long contemplative day out. You get one hour in the saddle, but the drive out from the Strip is only about 30 minutes, so the trip is weighted toward riding, not transit. That is the opposite trade-off from a Grand Canyon day, where most of the clock is spent in a van. Here, almost all the time you pay for is time on the machine.

What that hour covers is varied terrain: desert washes, gravel, straightaways, the bumps riders call "whoops," and hairpin turns through stands of Joshua trees and against canyon walls. The named highlight is the Figure 8 track, a looping section where you can ride harder and test how fast you take the turns. You may pass wild mustangs, burros, jackrabbits and other desert wildlife along the way. After the ride, the century-old Pioneer Saloon sits nearby for a burger.

The build is simple. The base fare includes the ride, helmet, gloves, goggles and water, with one ATV each. There is no shuttle in the price; hotel pickup is a USD 15 add-on booked 24 hours ahead. The only real decision is whether you drive yourself out or pay to be collected.

🤔 Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: The draw here isn't the ride length, it's the format: a ghost town and a Figure 8 track packed into a single hour, for people who want the ATV experience without giving up half a day to get it. At $105 for one hour, you're paying for a tight, contained outing, not a desert expedition. This is for the traveler who wants to ride, photograph a few things, and be back in Vegas before the day is gone.

Worth it if:

you want to try an ATV without committing a half day to it, and a focused hour suits your schedule better than a long haul
the ghost town and Figure 8 track are the point for you, not maximum time in the saddle
you're fitting this between other plans and need something that starts and ends fast

Skip it if:

you actually want time to ride, in which case the 2-hour Nellis Dunes ride at $95 gives you twice the seat time for less, and an hour will feel over before it begins
you're after open desert and distance rather than a track and a set piece, where the 4-hour Mojave adventure is the trip you're really picturing

Choose this over the 2-Hour Nellis Dunes ATV Ride if:

the ghost town and Figure 8 track are what you came for, and a shorter, more structured hour appeals to you more than a longer open ride

💡 Insider Tip

LasVegasTour Editorial Review

4.5

★★★★★★★★★★LasVegasTour Rating

“What you're buying here is sixty minutes of actual seat time on your own ATV, not a sightseeing drive past the scenery. The trade-off is real: the riding area sits 30 minutes from the Strip with no shuttle unless you pay 15 extra, so a one-hour ride costs you more than an hour. Worth it for confident drivers who want the Figure 8 track, not for anyone expecting a leisurely tour. The 4.7 rating across 162 reviews holds up because the experience is honest about what it is.”
