Most people think of Las Vegas as the realm of vices, ultra-luxury hotels, gambling parlors, adult venues, and glittering 5-star restaurants. The Strip is like a huge kaleidoscope of lights and bright signs, an endless street lined with immense hotels, which are often daring imitations of the most famous buildings and structures in the world: the Eiffel Tower, pyramids, medieval castles, palaces of ancient Rome, and Venice.
In short, we are talking about a place that could easily overwhelm you with many opportunities for fun and entertainment. It could put you in a difficult position when planning your trip and you may be forced to leave out certain attractions. Many of the people who visit Las Vegas are so dazed by the city that they get tired very quickly and get discouraged that they could not get much out of the experience.
But if your wish is to stay for a few days in Las Vegas without spending a fortune, and you don’t want to waste even a second of your precious time, maybe a “Las Vegas Pass” could really be the right tool for you. The Las Vegas passes we have selected will allow you to visit all the most interesting and fun places in the city and offer you the possibility to save a lot of time and money. Let’s take a closer look at the Las Vegas attraction passes.
Please note: The features of passes may vary over time (e.g. number and type of attractions, and percentage of the discounts). Therefore, we advise you to check the official website, indicated in this article, for any changes.

Las Vegas Explorer Pass: How Does It Work?
This is the pass managed by GoCity, which provides tourist passes for all major American cities. The prices are based not on the choice of the number of days but on the number of attractions, which can make it more relaxing to use (you won’t have the problem of having to cram all the attractions in a short time, which can easily happen with other passes). Here’s how it works:
- 2 attractions: $59
- 3 attractions: $79
- 4 attractions: $109
- 5 attractions: $119
- 6 attractions: $129
- 7 attractions: $139
There are many attractions to choose from and you can make huge savings (up to 59%). The pass is valid for 60 days starting from the first activity. Here are some of the activities/attractions available:

Las Vegas All-Inclusive Pass
Meanwhile, the Las Vegas All-Inclusive Pass works in the opposite way. The choice of attractions is made according to the number of days.
With this pass, you can choose from many attractions (which you can discover here) to visit over the course of 2, 3, 4, or 5 days. Depending on which option you select, you can save more than 57%.
If you purchase the 3, 4, or 5-day pass, you can choose to visit these premium attractions as well:

Sightseeing Flex Pass Las Vegas
The direct competitor of the Las Vegas Explorer Pass is the Sightseeing Flex Pass, the most popular tourist pass in New York City and has recently become available in major American cities, including Las Vegas. I’m going to quickly explain how this pass works.
You will have the possibility to buy a pass for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 attractions out of a total of 27. The Sightseeing Flex is valid for 60 consecutive days, which is a very long period compared to the average length of a stay in the city, and ensures that you will save more than 60% on the price of activities and admission to the attractions. Click on this link to find the complete and updated list of the Sightseeing Flex Pass attractions.
Prices
Prices for adults range from $72 ($62 for children 3-12 years old) to $147 ($136 for children).
Where can you buy it?
You can buy it on the official website (where you can often find further discounts) or on the Viator website (only 2, 3, or 5 attractions).
Sightseeing Day Pass Las Vegas
As with Go City’s pass counterpart, we can also choose a pass based on days of stay instead of attractions.
You can choose a pass that covers you for 2, 3, 4, or 5 days and choose from a list that includes more than 80 attractions.
These are the prices, keep in mind that there are often promotions that significantly lower the price of the pass:
- 2 days: $134
- 3 days: $229
- 4 days: $289
- 5 days: $331
You can purchase the pass directly on the official website.
Other Las Vegas Passes
Las Vegas is one of the main tourist destinations in the United States, so it’s no wonder that it has several options for tourist passes. The ones we have described were chosen based on these 2 criteria:
- They have a high number/quality of reviews
- They are offered by well-known and reliable operators
There are also other passes, such as the Bite Card or the VIP Tour of Las Vegas reality shows. You can see all of them by clicking on the link below:
Build Your Own Las Vegas Pass
Please note: this pass is no longer available
The amount of savings is not as obvious as in the case of the previous ones (20% if you choose 2 or more attractions) but the advantage is that you can select the attractions you really want to visit. By doing so, you can spend money directly on the things you really want to do and avoid unnecessary waste.
The Build Your Own Las Vegas Pass is in fact the pass that you personalize, so before making this choice, it is advisable to have a precise idea of what the city of Las Vegas can offer its visitors.
The number of attractions to choose from also increases significantly (to 51, which you can check here) compared to the previous two passes.
This pass can be purchased directly on the official website.
What is the Las Vegas Power Pass and How it Works
Please note: this pass is no longer available
The Las Vegas Power Pass is a special pass that allows you to choose the number of days and gives you access to more than 50 attractions in Las Vegas. You can choose from tours, excursions, museum admissions, shows, travel, themed attractions, and much more, with a big advantage. Thanks to the Skip-the-Line Access option, included in the price, you can skip the queues at the entrance of many of the attractions included in the offer. It will be a matter of choosing the duration of the card according to your needs and the amount of time you will stay in the city. There passes for 1, 2, 3, or 5 consecutive days.
In short, if you buy, for example, the 3-day pass – one of the most popular – and after the first day you use the pass (which coincides with the activation of the pass), you can use it for two more consecutive days without time limits and enter as many attractions as you can visit in the time available to you. Of course, if you are good at organizing your time, the possibility of savings will be even higher, and – combined with any winnings at the casino – the pass could turn out to be a great deal!
Prices
Here are the prices (updated to October 2018), but they may vary depending on the season and on special offers:
- 1 day: Adults $95
- 2 days: Adults $149
- 3 days: Adults $202
- 5 days: Adults $298
The total price includes a number of discounts for restaurants and shops, which can be especially useful in Las Vegas. You will also have a color-coded city guide with a map and the schedule of the Monorail, which will take you from one hotel to another on the Las Vegas Strip.
Attention! The Las Vegas Power Pass does not include admission to special shows, accommodations in the various hotels, or the “hotel pick-up and drop-off” service. As soon as you have completed your online purchase, you will receive your pass by email. Then you can decide whether to print it out or use it digitally.
Savings
If you’re wondering how much the Las Vegas Power Pass will save you… consider that the total cost of all tickets included in the offer exceeds $500. It doesn’t take a financial genius to realize that the savings can be really high!
