Tips for an OffRoadeo first-timer in Vegas

[RR25HB]

I fortunately didn't need to resort to toilet paper during those 4+ hours.
But the couple behind us did... the woman came up to my driver's door and said she needed to use the "facilities" between our two Broncos, and asked if I could not exit mine for a few minutes. The Bronco was still running, and I joked with the wife that I was going to put it in reverse and see what the back-up camera view looked like...... boy did I ever get the "Do it and I'll KILL you look!"

Remember that after you do the Vegas one you can do the half day BYOB at Moab. The views at Moab are just unbelievable.

Good to know, as I hesitated in choosing between the two. I ultimately decided on Vegas because sister will be accompanying me and that was closer for her to drive to with her Jeep and trailer.

Don’t know about the other sites but the staff at LV were beyond wonderful. Ford has hit a home run in their recruiting process. It was enriching at every level.

What I did was to get a bronco type you own (2 or 4 door) this way you can see how it will preform when you go out without a guide master.
I went to moab, and like others have said, enjoy the ride a take notes if that will help to remember. Most of all take a ton of pictures you will have amazing memories.

+1 on take notes. Like after, at the hotel or wherever, write everything down. You’re going to get info from the instructors you won’t hear anywhere else (even here!). Our instructor did about a 15-minute run down that went thru each GOAT mode in detail and it was fantastic (they do a lot more than one would think). LOTS of information will be imparted. Super fun day. Enjoy!

Not sure of you 4x4 experience, but I would suggest as I always do, going alone to the OffRoadeo itself as it's just too cost prohibitive for what you get. They provide good information and experience but again too expensive for what it is. Travel together enjoy Vegas if that's your thing. They'll have fun at the OffRoadeo but again the cost to wow factor is is imbalanced IMHO. Sense a theme??? I would take the skills learned and get with some local owners and groups or even one of the many Bronco events and take your guest on a real trail within your experience level and build from there.
Plenty of people in the community willing to take new folks out
