5 Hour Las Vegas Off-Road: DIY Jeep Mojave Adventure
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Heads up: this is a self-guided, self-drive adventure. We give you the Jeep, the route, the gear, the local tips, and everything you need to explore confidently on your own. No guide in the passenger seat — just you, the open Mojave Desert, and the freedom to move at your own pace.
This is your chance to actually experience Nevada, not just drive past it. Follow a curated route through Cottonwood Valley Road with rugged desert terrain, mountain views, panoramic overlooks, mining history, wildlife, and backcountry scenery that feels straight out of a movie. Keep an eye out for wild burros, desert bighorn sheep, and wide-open Mojave views along the way.
You’ll also make your way to historic Goodsprings and Pioneer Saloon, one of Southern Nevada’s most iconic Old West stops. And yes — if you’re a Fallout: New Vegas fan, this route hits differently. The Goodsprings area brings that real-life Mojave feeling to life without needing to spot a Deathclaw.

5.00Very well organized and also affordable- the trip was great. So was the burgers at the pioneer saloon, definitely worth a stop! But if you want to spend some time at the saloon, dont spend too much time at the stops along the route..
Jeeps are awesome and Jake & Mike are great to work with!

5.00We rented a Jeep twice from Jake & Mike - once for the 5hr Off-Road Secrets and again for a trip they put together for us. The Jeeps are great, and they are so accommodating to your needs. For the second rental, I gave them a list of everything I wanted to see and they did a route specific to that list. My only tip would be to learn how to use your maps "offline". I didn't know what I was doing so when we lost cell signal, I lost the routes (both times). Make sure you have all that down before you are in the middle of nowhere! Again - not their fault; entirely my fault. I highly recommend them for your Jeep rental or tours! They know all the great places for sightseeing! We will definitely be back again!
Really was an adventure!

5.00My husband and I had an awesome time. It was just us in the Jeep so we were able to go at our own pace. They guys gave us a google map to download with places to see along the route. The trip took almost the entire 5 hours. They were very nice and took the time to explain everything before we left and we felt for the amount it cost it was well worth it! They only thing I think that can be improved is the actual direction to get to the start of the touring area and in case you lose service maybe a rough map of the area. Other than that I would highly recommend this awesome Self Drive Jeep Adventure!
Great Fallout experience!

5.00We had a wonderful day / experience doing this day trip. The vehicle was in top shape and made for a very fun ride for all of us. The cliff overlook to see Las Vegas was in short, special. But of course continuing on to the Pioneer Saloon was the main course. We recommend 100%.
Excellent experience

5.00Excellent day out, something a bit different from your usual car hire. Where else do you get pointed at the scenery and told to go for it
The best time ever.

5.00We had a great time. Jacob was very helpful. He went over everything with us. We had great views, it had rained the day before so we had some nice puddles to go through. He told us about the one view where you are on top of the mountain and you get to see down into Vegas. It was breath taking. We will be coming back again. Thank you Jacob.
A great way to spend a day or evening

5.00Ease of service was the best. Rented the jeep and headed on our way. Avoided the storms all around us and had the perfect 5 hours. Saw a wild horse, ate at a fantastic saloon in ghost town, and saw the 7 magic mountains on way back. Views were amazing! Highly recommend this tour company!!
Great way to do some off roading near Vegas
