Buggy driving in vegas desert

During pubcon vegas I took some time out to go driving in the desert in a one seater buggy and MJ drove a 2 seater. It was absolutely crazy but a great experience.

The company was used for buggy driving in vegas was called Sun Buggy Fun Rentals and the deal is pretty good. It’s basically $300 and they will arrange pickup and drop off at your hotel, they supply you with all the safety equipment you require and give you 2 hours of ride time(we actually got about 3) and after the drive will give you bottled water and some food. You will also be given a rather bright tshirt..

Although it was great fun and overall very worth the money, I found some of their rules a little unfair. For example if you were to roll your buggy then they will fine you $500. The thing is these buggies have heavy duty roll cages and could easily take a roll without causing any damage at all, they’re more likely to get damaged when you’re speeding over small hills and taking off and landing hard like 10 times in a row than a roll in the sand. Although it’s quite hard to roll it, it’s not impossible and we did see it happen.
