Beautiful views,would recommend if you go during winter months to dress warm,gloves and hat/scarf! The location in winter months is in the desert so plan on either driving or very reliable transportation. We relied in Uber/Lyft,the way to location with Lyft was great but getting Uber or Lyft return took almost 1/2 hour! Grace our guide was very nice! would do all over (maybe in warmer months)!

It was an amazing ride, we enjoyed the quiet, the mountains and all the awesome info our guide gave us about the area, we would definitely recommend it and will do it again next time we are in Vegas!!! Thank you so much!

What a total family from grandma to baby our whole family enjoyed this show and totally worth the money! Two thumbs up would do it again, 5 1/2 ⭐️ “s keep up the great work animal power!
