Prepare for an unforgettable evening exploring the Wild West beyond the Vegas Strip at a working ranch in Moapa. After pickup from select Las Vegas Strip hotels, you'll travel about 45 minutes into the Nevada desert. Here, rugged mountains and historic trails set the scene for a genuine horseback adventure.
Meet your wrangler and get acquainted with your calm, well-trained horse before embarking on a roughly 1.5-hour trail ride. This experience is suitable for all riding abilities and guides you through breathtaking desert landscapes on routes once used by America's most infamous outlaws.
As you ride, watch for wildlife like bighorn sheep, roadrunners, jackrabbits, cattle, and horses. Away from the hustle of Las Vegas, you'll appreciate the serene beauty of the Nevada wilderness from horseback.
Following your ride, relax with an authentic Western-style dinner at the ranch before your return journey to Las Vegas. This is your opportunity to trade the dazzling lights for cowboy country and discover a facet of Nevada rarely seen by visitors.

Excellent experience
John_B, October 2026
A real wild west experience. Can't fault any part of it. AJ the driver and chef, Leo and his team at the ranch were excellent hosts. (That includes the two blind dogs)
We were lucky it was sunset and only around 100° but I can imagine it will be extreamly hot in the daytime and we were lucky not to see any rattle snakes or spiders. So hydrate. And dress for the temperature. Water is provided though. The food was good and the organiser takes your order when he confirms your pick up time and place.
The horses were great, very gentle and calming and easy to get on with.
The lassoo lessons were a nice added bonus too.
All in all a brilliant experience that is something you could never experience anywhere else. Would definetely advise anyone to try, you will create memories that last a life time
Response from the operator · Pavlov872 Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your Wild West adventure with us! AJ, Leo, and the rest of the crew will certainly appreciate your kind words. And of course, we can't forget our four-legged ranch greeters, who always love a little extra attention!
You're absolutely right about the desert heat! Staying hydrated and dressing appropriately are important, especially during our warmer months. We're glad you appreciated the water we provide and were able to enjoy a beautiful desert sunset.
It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed our gentle horses, cowboy BBQ dinner, and the lasso lessons! We love giving our guests a taste of the Old West and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you again for riding with us and for recommending the experience to others. We hope to welcome you back to the ranch someday!

From pick up to drop off, this was a great experience. Great customer service, clear communication. Our cowboys made us feel welcome and took great care to make sure we were all comfortable along the way. We had zero experience with riding. The scenery is amazing. We did the sunset ride. 100% recommend.
