About this experience

Great time, responsible owner!
We are not gamblers and prefer the outdoors, so we decided to give this a try and it was worth it! Jake was super helpful and gave us simple directions to follow. We were unfortunately stuck outside the canyon due to an accident, and jake made sure we were able to get out and helped us even though it was getting late. He was a phone call away if we needed anything! Highly recommend!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review and so glad we troubleshooted the issue but I am so glad you guys enjoyed yourselves and really have the adventurous spirit! Hope to see you all again!

Star Gazing is top notch
Not sure how this isn't the #1 in outdoor activities! The wife and I aren't big partiers or gamblers so we were looking for other things to do for our first time in Vegas. This did not disappoint in any way. This is a self guided tour that you can make anything you want. I was a little afraid of what to ask for and that is my biggest regret - along with not getting the Jeep for a longer time. Jake runs this place and he will literally include anything you want to make this a first class excursion. He does include a lot of basics like camping chairs, propane firepit, iced drinks, snacks, speaker, telescope, and maps to the spots you need to see. If you want anything else, just ask him ( I did get a bottle of champagne for our anniversary toast). Jake is such a great guy to talk to and will help you in any way that you need. The area we went to is several miles into the desert, but we still saw several other campers on the way in. The view was amazing! The sunset was beautiful and the stars on a new moon night we incredible. This place gives a new meaning to quiet. To have this self-guided tour is the ultimate Las Vegas adventure and rivals any and every excursion out there. If you are thinking of doing this, please don't hesitate and book this now!

This is an easy,...
This is an easy, convenient, self guided excursion out into the dessert for a gorgeous sunset and star gazing. Thank God my wife made us get comfy warm joggers to enjoy the chilly dessert evening so come prepared for that, the propane fire supplied with the jeep kept us warm as well! The chairs, blankets, lighting was so convenient, worked properly and was easy to use as well! Jake the owner was awesome and friendly to talk to…got us set up and on our way, you just can’t help to cheer for his business success! Do this…the best 250 bucks you’ll ever spend in Vegas!!!
Response from the operator: Appreciate the love Jeff, So stoked you guys had a blast! Your pal, -Jake

DO THIS TOUR!!!
If you are looking for something different and outside the norm while in Vegas, DO THIS TOUR! Jake made this adventure so easy. He tells you everything you need to know, equips you with everything you need including snacks and off you go on your own to view the stars in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed it so much. The directions are idiot proof and the stars did not disappoint. (I do suggest booking when there isn’t a semi-full moon because the added light does take away from all you can see, but even with the moon it was amazing. Highly recommend and when we are in Vegas again, we will be checking out some of the other tour offerings.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind review. It is so amazing how a simple night out in nature is and how rewarding it can be. Nevada has the most dark skies across the lower 48 states and it is really a pleasure to show people these amazing areas. We are excited to welcome you back and hope you have a safe journey home! Cheers!

Great time great service Will definitely rebook
The experience was amazing. The drive was nice and easy to navigate. Mike did an amazing job explaining everything making sure we were good to go. The Sky was clear and so many stars out to see! I only give it 4/5 due to the fact that the telescope was hard to set up and get working properly. I felt there were pieces missing or not in place I gave up halfway through which is a bummer because I’m huge into stargazing and watching the night sky. But I used the binoculars provided which was perfect! The fire pit kept us warm and we had music playing it was a chill and I really enjoyed it. Overall it was a great experience and I definitely recommend it for people who love stargazing and looking for a chill time

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Las Vegas.
How much does Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains cost?
+
Prices start at $249 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Las Vegas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Las Vegas is not rushed.
Is Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Las Vegas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Las Vegas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Las Vegas and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Las Vegas: Stargazing in the Mountains start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Las Vegas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Las Vegas?
+
Las Vegas sells two trips at once: the Strip after dark, and the red-rock desert that starts twenty minutes past the last casino. Helicopter runs to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam half-days and Red Rock Canyon drives all leave early, while show tickets, speakeasy crawls and high-roller dining fill the evening. Outty Ranking weighs operator reliability heavily here, because the gap between a well-run desert tour and a coach-and-queue version is enormous. On Outty we rank every Las Vegas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group: Valley of Fire Half Day Tour from Las Vegas, Small Group Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, 7 Magic Mountains VIP Tour, Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam Stop, Breakfast, Lunch & Skywalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Las Vegas?
+
October to April. Summer highs above 105F make midday outdoor tours punishing. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Las Vegas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
