This tour was for first timers. 40 minute slow ride in single file.
Only 3 stars because of the limited time, Beat up ATV's, and we were not told this was a Beginners first time type "experience" until after we were there. That could be my fault not understanding what we bought? Guide was great. Very friendly. ALL people involved were very nice and helpful. The ATV Tour experience was not what we expected. I don't know if they offer packages for experienced riders who want to get a couple ATV's and go out and have some riding fun tearing up the desert. That's what we were looking for and have done dozens of times with and without guides. This is NOT that This is for beginners with ZERO experience. It's an hour trip from Vegas in a packed Van to get there. They pick you up at a meeting spot in Vegas. I suppose you could rive out yourself. Either way that's 2 hours of the time. He starts by explaining how everything works for people that have issues turning a key on and not understanding you have to turn the handle bars to steer it. Really! They tell you no hard throttle, no fast riding, stay in line, no fish tailing meaning drifting. No slowing down so you can speed up to catch up and play for a bit. No hard stops, no no no no Then finally the ride which was mostly about 10-15 mph for maybe 8 total miles. Some of these people were really clueless in terms of how to ride an ATV. So I get how this "tour" operates but I could walk faster. Its really just a slow train following the leader. Very little seat time!!! These ATV's had very small engines. looked only a couple 2 to 5 years old, but many were really beat up. The back brakes didn't work on mine. I made an adjustment on the rear brake linkage by hand myself when we stopped to get it working. Tires were a mess. Many had miss matched, bald, and or dry rotted tires. Ya, a few had new tires. One had a flat that I had to point out to the rider before we left. He had no clue he had a flat tire! Obviously these don't get inspected after each use. All of the controls including the clutch handle on the left side on handle bar are "off limits" Clutch, Reverse, or neutral are not operable. They use a centrifugal clutch which is disengaged at low rpm's, so they have them rigged to start up in gear. These mods were done in an attempt to save wear in certain areas of the machine from misuse by dummy's. So call, and ASK a Human what your getting. Discuss exactly what or which deal your buying before goin to any of these events. I'm sure they have stuff for skilled riders. Or if you have no skills, this is for you.

James our guide was AMAZING! Very professional, ensured safety for all drivers and took amazing photos of my friends and I! Catch this, he even pulled my helmet off without taking off my weave too! Definitely recommend for a great run on the tracks!

Disappointing. Better options avalailble.
Very disappointing. The terrain is lame and the tour was slow. I have done the Nellis Dunes before with another tour company. The area that this group has is just rocky double track and very little sand.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nelson Hills Desert ATV Tour From Las Vegas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Las Vegas.
How much does Nelson Hills Desert ATV Tour From Las Vegas cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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 Nelson Hills Desert ATV Tour From Las Vegas 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 Nelson Hills Desert ATV Tour From Las Vegas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 67 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Las Vegas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nelson Hills Desert ATV Tour From Las Vegas?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Nelson Hills Desert ATV Tour From Las Vegas 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 Nelson Hills Desert ATV Tour From Las Vegas?
+
Around 23 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 Nelson Hills Desert ATV Tour From Las Vegas 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.
