What We Love About This Experience

The self-drive nature offers unmatched flexibility—you can skip or linger at attractions, take photos, or explore at your own pace. It’s a rare chance to feel like a true Vegas local while still visiting the must-see sights.

The electric vehicle adds a modern, eco-friendly twist to sightseeing. The included safety instructions and GPS-guided navigation make it accessible even for first-time drivers. We also appreciated the built-in amenities, like seat warmers and misting systems, which are thoughtful for comfort in the desert climate.

The comedic element at The Strat is a big plus. Instead of just a drive-by, you have an entertainment booking that ensures a fun, relaxing break from the city’s lights and noise.

Considerations to Keep in Mind

This tour requires self-driving, so it’s best suited for confident drivers comfortable with navigating a city in an electric vehicle. Also, it’s designed for small groups—up to 2 people per car—so larger parties will need multiple reservations.

Another point is the timing: the tour starts at 5 pm, and the comedy show is at 6 pm, so it’s a tight schedule. If you’re picky about timing or want more time at each stop, consider that some visits are brief.

Since the price is around $200 for the group, it offers good value when you factor in the entertainment and multiple attractions included. However, travelers should budget for the $250 credit card hold for the car, which is refunded if the vehicle is returned undamaged.

Practical Details

The tour is booked 27 days in advance on average, and confirmation is prompt, which is great for planning. The activity includes all taxes and fees, bottled water, and a complimentary photo. It’s suitable for most travelers, although children under 7 may not find it ideal, and service animals are permitted.

The meeting point is easy to access, near public transportation options, and the tour ends at the same spot, making it convenient for those staying nearby or heading out to other Vegas adventures.

Final Thoughts

This tour offers a fun, flexible way to see Las Vegas while cruising in style. It’s particularly suited for couples, small groups, or anyone wanting to avoid the typical guided bus experience. The combination of sightseeing, entertainment, and the freedom to explore makes it a memorable and personalized outing.

The electric vehicle adds a modern touch and makes the experience eco-friendlier, while the stops cover a broad spectrum of Vegas highlights—from iconic landmarks to quirky local favorites. The included comedy show adds a dose of laughter, rounding out a lively evening.
