Out of Jean, Nevada, this guided evening run puts you behind the wheel of your own Polaris RZR to traverse desert trails beneath a wide, clear sky — Orion’s belt and starfields often visible — capped by dinner at the Historic Pioneer Saloon. The outing is run by guides from Vegas Off Road Tours and is designed as a compact night experience that balances trail time, photo stops and a roadside meal.

What the day feels like

What the Night Feels Like

Expect a compact, deliberately paced evening: a roughly 30‑minute check‑in and safety briefing followed by about three hours on desert trails in your RZR with guide support, opportunities to swap drivers and take photos, then a relaxed group dinner at the Pioneer Saloon. Helmets (radio‑equipped full‑face) are provided, and light refreshments are included on the route.
