| - A great bachelor party activity!
We had gone skydiving for another friend's bachelor party (1), and were looking for something adventurous this time in Vegas. Sun Buggy Fun Rentals did not disappoint!
We opted for the Mini Baja Chase (30 min., versus the longer and more expensive 90 min.), and had a great time. 'Chase' is an apt descriptor here, as you'll spend the 30 minutes with your pedal to the metal as you chase after a guide through 15,000 acres of desert dunes. Located next to Nellis Air Force Base, I will have fond memories of cresting a dune as jets fly in formation overhead, with the Vegas strip hazy in the background.
Pick up and drop off at your hotel are included, and you'll be supplied with a helmet and goggles (get the tinted ones) when you arrive. They conveniently supply you with a belongings pouch so you can dump in your personal effects; the chance of getting dust or sand into your camera are certain, and you'll be bounced around quite a bit.
The buggies are easy to use (no manual shifting), and there are multiple vehicle configurations if you want to bring passengers along for the ride. I found this chase format to be a great blend of excitement while not placing too much responsibility on you. It was good to know that if you lost sight of the group going around a bend, you could shut off your engine and wait for the guide to circle back. While you're on the move, you'll spend most of the run flooring it, and taking curves at pretty decent speeds.
The consensus was that the 30 minute chase was a good amount of time; it was enough to get a great experience before it became boring or routine, and it was a hundred bucks less.
Definitely check this out for your next Vegas outing.
