Wonderful experience riding slingshots with my family. Zion was an amazing guide, he gave clear instructions and was very patient since it was our first time on the bikes. We went to Red Canyon, the scenery was breathtaking all through, the bikes were in great condition and a joy to ride, I highly recommend Vegas Trike Bikes, it's a novel way to explore Vegas.

Overview

Red Rock Canyon sits roughly 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip but requires transport that most visitors don't have—and the canyon's multicolored sandstone formations are best seen at road level rather than from a tour bus window. This small-group tour covers the canyon by Polaris Slingshot, a three-wheeled automatic motorcycle that requires no motorcycle license, with a photo stop at scenic Red Rock Mountains.
  • Explore the Red Rock Canyon at your own pace
  • Experience the sights surrounding Las Vegas in a unique way
  • Try your hand at driving on this self-led tour
  • Enjoy a stop at the famous Pawn Stars shop

Great ride and tour guide. Although we picked the hottest time of the year to ride, we truly had a great time. The tour guide was very informative and big on safety which helped us enjoy the ride. Definitely will do it again.

A Must-Do Experience in Las Vegas

TERRIE_H, Jul 2026
The Ultimate Vegas Adventure – Red Rock Express Experience was one of the highlights of our trip! It was the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas Strip and experience the breathtaking beauty of Red Rock Canyon. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour both informative and fun. The scenery was absolutely stunning, with incredible rock formations, scenic overlooks, and plenty of opportunities to take amazing photos. The pace of the tour was just right, allowing us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Everything was well organized from start to finish, making for a stress-free and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a memorable outdoor adventure while visiting Las Vegas, I highly recommend the Red Rock Express Experience. It's a fantastic way to see a different side of Nevada and create lasting memories!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

How wonderful to hear of your amazing experience and the beautiful memories you made. Thank you so much for being our guest.

Not what i expected

Aisha_M, Jun 2026
For the amount of money i expected clean, newer sling shots. The ones we used were dirty, you could smell the heat from the motor. The person that we were instructed to follow, told us to not keep much space between us but dude kept running lights as if there werent two of us behind him. I also cash app’d him $20 in case i wanted to drive(my husband drove) but i decided not to and when i asked for it to be refunded he says “oh there’s no refund cause i have to pay insurance” as if i dont know that you only pay insurance for the vehicle and driver…but from the looks of the place he needed those $20, also for the cost…the helmets are not included that’s a extra $10 If you are looking for slingshots i found better ones on the strip to rent and there’s no guide you can rent it for a few hours or all day for a great price. The pawn shop was not even worth going into. Other than these things the view was beautiful and the food was delicious.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the honest feedback, and we are genuinely glad the views and food made the trip worthwhile. A few things we want to clarify: our slingshots are cleaned between every tour, but the heat and motor smell are just part of how these vehicles run — there is no way around that. On the lights, our guide is trained to pull over and wait on the side of the road if a light changes before guests can follow. He would never leave you behind. The $20 was a separate, optional arrangement for the chance to drive and was not processed through our company. We wish that conversation had gone better. Helmets are required for all riders and the $10 fee is clearly disclosed in the tour listing before booking — that information is available to all guests prior to arriving. We are sorry the visit did not fully meet your expectations. If you want to talk through anything directly, we are easy to reach. Vegas Trike Adventures

The best get away

Was wonderful. Enjoyed the slingshot weather and view was the best! The owner/guide told us about Red Rock and Las Vegas

Response from Host, May 2026

Fantastic experience. Thank you to the exceptional Cicerone. Slingshots were in top working order. Thumbs up!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you

This is a MUST experience for your vacation portfolio!!

Tanya_R, May 2026
Mr. Zion was an absolute delight of a host for this excursion!! He was promptly on time and was very kind! His personality and passion to ensure that you had a great time was paramount! Mr. Zion shared detailed stories about the places we visited and even provided frozen bottles of water to keep us hydrated through the tour! This man has an excellent spirit and all would take an opportunity to experience this for your next Vegas trip. We rode in the Slingshot, and it was amazing!! The next time you're in Vegas, look this up to add to your vacation portfolio....you will definitely enjy it, and Mr. Zion!!

Response from Host, May 2026

What a lovely review. We’re so glad that you had such a wonderful experience., we love it when we reach our goal . Thank you for being our guest.

Not as advertised.

Dionne_T, May 2026
Not as advertised. Poor tour guide. Didn’t experience what was advertised. Would avoid this trip and do anything else. When we contacted the operator to let them know about our poor experience, they were not bothered.

Response from Host, May 2026

Unfortunately, as much as we try, we can’t please everyone. We actually gave you more than advertised, with an extra hour and a free upgrade to a slingshot instead of the trike you paid for. After all that you wanted a refund, which we denied because you had received more than you paid for.

Great experience but don’t get behind

Paul_M, May 2026
Bit chaotic on arrival, you also have to follow a lead car during the experience that is challenging at times in traffic. Slingshots are great fun to drive. Make sure you have the uber app as no taxis close by after the tour finishes.

Response from Host, May 2026

On arrival everyone is signing waivers and getting their helmets, so it’s a busy start. We can’t control traffic but we navigate through it safely. I agree that the slingshots are great fun. Thank you for being our guest.

FABULOUS and fun experience! Buck made sure we were all safe during our trip while driving our slingshots. GORGEOUS scenery and great stops for photos.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Sling shot ride GREAT

Take this tour you will thoroughly enjoy it. The route is amazing. The knowledge of the guide very good.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

So glad you enjoyed this beautiful tour . Thank you for coming

Not what we expected.

Nikhil_J, Feb 2026
This was NOT what I was expecting We thought we’d riding these slingshots in the desert- no. You’re driving through Las Vegas traffic on the way to red rock. It was an experience but man, someone should have told us. Guy who runs it made sure we got there and back, you drive in a convoy style, was stressed AF but made it back safely.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Sorry to hear about your misunderstanding. You were driving in the desert. You have to drive in traffic to reach beautiful Red Rock Canyon. This is not an off road tour. I hope you enjoyed the fun of riding the slingshot and the beautiful views.. Thank you

Good time

Anthony_G, Jan 2026
Very fun experience and the views were amazing! Owner/tour guide was a great guy. Machines were cool.

Michael_N, Nov 2025
The canyon was beautiful and the drive was a lot of fun. I recommend taking the highway route as it was a more fun drive.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you

Okay, but beware of some challenges

Terry_S, Oct 2025
Great concept and something we were really looking forward to. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to our full expectations. We did enjoy the ride, but three things really kept me from giving a higher rating. First, it was billed as a two-hour tour - it lasted just short of three hours (thankfully we didn't have conflicting plans but one other party did and they had to return solo mid-ride). Second, our vehicle was very temperamental about shifting from neutral to drive. Several times we delayed the group because we couldn't get it in gear. Third, and by far the most important, literally the entire first hour of our tour was spent going down Las Vegas Blvd and hitting virtually every single stoplight. It was excruciatingly slow going and we got quite hot even on an 80 degree day (I can't fathom how uncomfortable it would have been mid-summer). In all honesty, I guess I'm glad we did it, but I definitely wouldn't be up for a return trip.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We don't have control over traffic unfortunately. That was a bonus free hour that most people do appreciate. The slingshots drive differently then a regular car, but most people don't have a problem adjusting to it. Glad you enjoyed the ride and hopefully the beauty of Red Rock Canyon. Thank you

Awesome time, worth doing

Michelle_H, Oct 2025
Get there about 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time. Take an Uber or Lyft as there isn't parking. Wear sunblock, it gets hot in the slingshot sitting in the sun. You can bring water and snacks, I suggest this highly!! This was a lot of fun and the sights were awesome! My husband and I switched driving and it's worth the $20. Helmets are $10 and we had a bandana that was free to wear under the helmet.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for being our guest and your insights. We do always have water for our guests.

Memorable trip

Jeffrey_Y, Oct 2025
It was a great tour. Buck was conscientious about our safety. Started off slow- had to take time to get gas, but he added more time. Took us to many neat parts of the canyons and well worth the time.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for being our guest.

Not quite a Red Rock Canyon tour

Sharon_J, Sep 2025
While noted as a 2-hr tour of Red Rock Canyon, you start in Las Vegas, drive through and around the city to get to Red Rock Canyon. You spend approximately 1 hour driving on the outskirts of the park. That being said, it was beautiful scenery and very enjoyable and overall worth the money. Just be prepared for a tour over 2-hours and over half city driving.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Although we cant control the distance to the Canyon, we all agree that the beautiful scenery is worth it. Thank You

Great ride

Beautiful scenery but it was hot. I wish I would have done it earlier in the day but we would definitely do it again.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Follow the...

Cheryl_O, May 2025
Follow the recommendations listed on the tour. Long sleeves and pants will protect you from the sun. It’s about a 40 minute ride through Las Vegas traffic and interstate before you reach the Red Rock Canyon. The slingshots were nice and easy to drive and helmets were provided for $10 each. But they are not required in NV. So it’s optional.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Glad you enjoyed your tour. Our tour regulations require the helmets, so it's not optional. Thank you for your input and for coming.

Greast way to experience a unique vehicle!

Adam_D, Apr 2025
We recently booked the Red Rock Canyon Guided Automatic Slingshot Express Tour through Viator, and it was an exhilarating experience! The tour offered a unique way to explore the stunning landscapes of Red Rock Canyon, and riding in the slingshot vehicle was definitely a highlight. The slingshot vehicle provided an exciting and fun way to navigate through the scenic routes. It felt like a blend of a motorcycle and a convertible, giving us a sense of freedom and adventure. Red Rock Canyon's multicolored mountains and rock formations were breathtaking. The tour included several stops for photos, allowing us to capture the beauty of the area. While the slingshot vehicle was fun to drive, we noticed that the upkeep could be better. Some of the vehicles seemed a bit worn out. Despite the minor issue with vehicle maintenance, the tour was a fantastic way to experience Red Rock Canyon. The combination of thrilling rides and stunning views made it a memorable adventure. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and exciting way to explore Las Vegas's natural beauty.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Wonderful to know of your awesome experience. Thank you for being our guest.

Fantastic Red Rock Experience!!

luvsurvivor, Apr 2025
What a thrill ride! This was a great way to explore red rock canyon and so fun! Go early as it’ll get hot! They charge $10 for a helmet and $20 if your partner is going to be driving too. Wish that info was posted up front, so bring cash for that and also a tip for the guide. I just wish we went on a road where we could really fly, but well worth it nonetheless!

Response from Host, May 2025

Glad you had a great time. The helmet and additional driver information is listed. We go speed limit. Thank you for coming
