RZR Through the Mojave: A Short, Wild Run to the Pioneer Saloon
A 3.5-hour off-road Explorer Tour from the Las Vegas Strip into the Mojave Desert that stops at the historic Pioneer Saloon and the Goodsprings General Store—this guide explains the route, gear, and participant requirements so you arrive ready.
RZR Through the Mojave: A Short, Wild Run to the Pioneer Saloon.
From a base camp just south of the Strip, the Pioneer Saloon Explorer Tour threads rocky desert trails in Polaris RZR side-by-sides to a century-old Wild West watering hole and the small-town general store of Goodsprings. The trip pairs short, exhilarating off-road sections with time to stretch your legs, sip, shop and take photos in settings that read like living cinema: stark Mojave vistas, weathered wood and neon, and roadside public art on the return.

High-speed Mojave trails in state-of-the-art RZRs
The tour runs across desert tracks in Polaris RZR XP 1000 or XP4 1000 machines, fitted with Ride Command GPS; helmets with radio communication are provided so drivers and guides stay connected on trail.
The legendary Pioneer Saloon
A scheduled stop lets you explore the historic Pioneer Saloon—more than a photo opportunity, it's a piece of Old West continuity where you can stretch your legs and set your own pace inside the saloon.
Goodsprings General Store and roadside curios
Browse the Goodsprings General Store for souvenirs and homemade items; the store is a cultural touchpoint—featured in Fallout: New Vegas—and a place to collect mementos of the day.

This is a compact, kinetic outing: drivers meet at a Strip pickup or base camp, climb into radio-equipped full-face helmets, and take the wheel of a guided RZR for a sequence of desert trail runs punctuated by stops at Goodsprings and the Pioneer Saloon. There's time to shop and photograph, and the operator offers flexibility—no group lunch stop is scheduled so participants can linger or move on at their own pace.
