Want something unique to do while visiting Las Vegas? Dont miss a trip land sailing out on the desert lake beds with GoLandSailing! Pete Lyons makes it so much fun!!! Buckle your seat belt your in for the ride of your life!!!

I gave this to my fiancé as a belated Birthday gift. We had a great time. Pete was fun, personable, and a very patient teacher. He even let us sail longer than the two hours since it was the end of the day. My fiancé had a ball. At one point the wind was so strong, he and a couple of other guys were trying to race the cars running along I-​15! Definitely would love to do this again and will recommend everyone to give it a try if you like speed and the wind on your face.

Some of the sounds you will hear if you go land sailing:
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. .. this is amazing. .. .whoa. .. wheeeeeeeeeeeee
Land sailing on the Ivanpah Dry Lake playa near Primm is one of the best things I have ever done. Not just the best in Vegas or Nevada, but one of the most fun activities EVER. All the joys of sailing — catching the wind in a sail, tinkering with the direction of the boat to go faster or slower under a broad sky and out in the open air, but without the sea sickness.
And the light weight vehicles attached to the sail by Land Sailing Tours are fast. With the right wind, you can speed along at around 30 mph — not that fast compared to a Ferrari, but a foot off the desert floor, it feels amazing.
The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is the tourist level price — $ 150 per person for four hours. I had a great time and recommend it to everyone, but it feels like it’s worth more like $ 75-​$ 100 for a trip. Maybe the company should have a locals rate. I’d be back at least every other month for a locals rate.

This should be on everyone’s to do list. It is a fun couple of hours sailing across the Ivanpah Dry Lake near Primm, Nevada. I went in a group with 2 other sailors and it was a lot of fun!
The owner of the firm, Pete, drove us to Primm, put together the land cruisers, and gave us instructions on how to use the steering and the rope to guide our movements across the desert.
After that, we were free to zoom over the dry lake and have fun, and that’s just what the three of us did. It was great!
Pete had an insulated cooler with lots of cold water. He had extra sunscreen for anyone who needed it, and he had snacks for après sailing.
Here is some video of one of the people on our outing.
Put this on your To Do list for Las Vegas! You’ll love it! If your spouse likes to shop, drive to Primm, let them spend several hours at the outlet mall, and you go over and join Pete. That would be a win/​win situation for many!

we did this for our anniversary and it was a blast! I can’t wait to go sail again! Next time I want to go on a super windy day!

My husband and I went and had a blast! It was a lot easier to get going than I expected and I really enjoyed seeing a different side of the Vegas area. The summer is HOT, however, so be prepared!

All that I can say is WOW, what an amazing experience!!! WE had so much fun and can’t wait to do it again. Pete, the owner/​operator is great. We are local to Las Vegas so we met him in Primm and he had us set up and sailing across the desert in no time at all. We even had our 7 year old son with us and Pete put a sidecar on my land-​sailing yacht so my son could go with me. It’s a MUST DO for all locals and visitors alike… crazy fun!!! I’m sure the people on the I-​15 heading north were thinking to themselves «what the heck are those people doing out there?» Well call Pete with Land Sailing Tours and you too can have a blast on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon racing across the desert. It’s a TOTALLY green sport that only uses wind to get you going… and here in Vegas we have lots of wind to spare!!! AAA+++

This is a fantastic concept that every Las Vegan should try. I had no idea what lies in my backyard until pistol Pete (the owner) showed me videos on youtube:
What’s there not to like about it? Don’t miss out on the season as you can try out either at Primm or Area 54. I can’t imagine going out to the desert at 100 degree weather if you wait until June and July. Great fun for the whole group. THUMBS UP!
