Go City Las Vegas Explorer Pass
The Go City Las Vegas Explorer Pass lets you choose 2 to 7 of the city’s top attractions and experiences for one fixed price — with 30 days to use them after your first scan. It’s ideal if you want to see the Strip, the desert, and everything in between without paying full price at each stop.

Las Vegas is one of the few cities where a sightseeing pass can genuinely surprise you with its value — because the individual ticket prices here are quietly steep. The Go City Las Vegas Explorer Pass works best when you lean into the bigger experiences: Hoover Dam tours, the High Roller, helicopter flights. Used strategically across a 3–4 day stay, the savings are real and the flexibility is a genuine benefit over day-based alternatives.

- Instant digital delivery
Watch out for
- No Monorail or transport included

What is the Go City Las Vegas Explorer Pass?
Las Vegas is a city that wants to charge you for everything — and usually succeeds. Ride the High Roller: $37. Hoover Dam tour: $60+. Helicopter over the Strip at night: over $100. The Go City Las Vegas Explorer Pass is a prepaid credits system that lets you lock in a set number of these experiences at a bundled rate before you arrive, so the bill doesn’t quietly balloon through the week.
You choose how many attraction visits you want — 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 — at purchase time. Then, once you scan in at your first attraction, a 30-day window opens for the rest. No consecutive-day pressure. No “use it all today or lose it” rush.
“Vegas is designed to extract money from you at every turn. The Explorer Pass is one of the few things working in the opposite direction.”
Explorer vs All-Inclusive in Las Vegas: The Explorer Pass gives a fixed number of credits across 30 days. An all-inclusive day pass gives unlimited access but only over consecutive calendar days. If you’re planning a fast 2-day Vegas blitz hitting as many attractions as possible, check whether an All-Inclusive offers better per-attraction value. For a more relaxed 4–5 day stay picking your spots, Explorer wins.

Validity and activation
Before your first visit
Your pass sits dormant for up to 1 year from purchase. Buy it now, travel in six months — you lose nothing until you scan in at your first attraction.
After activation
That first scan opens a 30-day window. All remaining credits can be used any time within that period — on consecutive days or scattered across the trip. The only rule is: all credits, one window.
Activation tip: Some sources mention a 60-day window on older pass versions — verify your exact terms at checkout, as Go City’s current FAQ shows 30 days for Explorer-type passes. Don’t plan around 60 days if your checkout page says 30.
When to visit — timing your Las Vegas days
Las Vegas operates on its own clock — almost nothing here is truly “off-peak” — but timing still matters for how much you’ll enjoy each experience.
How to use the pass
- Purchase online — choose your number of attractions at checkout. Your digital pass arrives instantly by email.
- Download the Go City app — iOS and Android. Your QR code lives here. A printable PDF is also available.
- Browse the live attraction list — check current inclusions, opening hours, and reservation requirements. Do this before planning each day.
- Make advance reservations — for timed experiences, book your slot through the app. This is not optional at popular attractions.
- Scan to enter — show your QR code at each venue. One scan = one credit used.
- Track remaining credits — the app shows visits remaining and days left in your 30-day window.
Reservations — don’t skip this
Las Vegas attractions are not all walk-in. Several experiences require a timed slot, and without one you may be turned away at the door even with a valid pass in hand.
Experiences that often need advance booking
- Hoover Dam tours — specific departure times, limited capacity
- High Roller at The LINQ — especially evening and sunset slots
- Helicopter and aerial experiences (where included)
- Escape room sessions — time-slot only
- AREA15 Illuminarium — timed entry for some experiences
Book your slots immediately after purchase. Evening High Roller cabins and Hoover Dam tours fill up days or weeks ahead in busy periods. The moment your pass confirmation lands, open the app and reserve your priority experiences before anything else.
How to get the most value
Lead with the expensive experiences
The pass saves most money when you use it for experiences you’d have paid $40–$100+ for individually. Helicopter tours, Hoover Dam day trips, and the High Roller are exactly that tier. One or two of those can cover the cost of an entire 4-attraction pass. Use the pass for those first, then fill remaining credits with mid-range picks.
Plan around the Strip’s geography
The Las Vegas Strip looks walkable on a map and is genuinely brutal in person — especially in summer heat. Cluster your chosen attractions by location: north Strip for The STRAT and downtown Fremont, mid-Strip for the High Roller and Eiffel Tower, south Strip for MGM-area experiences. Budget for rideshares between clusters rather than hoofing it in 45°C heat.
“Visitors who save $80 with the pass then spend $60 on Ubers between attractions. Cluster your days geographically and the savings are real.”
Activate first thing in the morning
Your 30-day window opens at your first scan. Start early on Day 1 so you’re not burning part of an afternoon before the clock has started properly counting.
Keep a backup attraction for each day
Lineups change. Slots disappear. A venue closes unexpectedly for a private event. Before each day, have a primary choice and a backup ready in the app.

Cancellations and refunds

Some vendors apply strict “all sales final” policies — check the cancellation terms on your checkout page before completing your purchase.
