The last day of the Go City pass — a helicopter tour, a GoCar joyride, the Big Apple Coaster, Fremont Street and the Pawn Stars shop. Five pass attractions, one day.
A helicopter over the Strip. A GoCar through the neon. A roller coaster wrapping a fake Manhattan. The final pass day squeezed out five attractions.
Day 3 was the Go City Vegas pass’s last hurrah, and we made it count. A helicopter tour and a GoCar joyride are the kind of experiences most visitors pay a small fortune for — both were on the pass. We stacked in the Big Apple Coaster, an arcade photo booth, Fremont Street downtown, and a visit to the world-famous Pawn Stars shop.
Out-of-pocket for the day: $400.82 for two people, with just $54 of it on food. Here’s the full breakdown.
A helicopter tour and GoCar rental are the priciest single experiences in Vegas — often $100+ each at the gate. Load them onto your final pass day so the pass ends on its highest-value note. By Day 3 you’ve already banked the smaller attractions; going out with the marquee experiences maximises the whole pass.
Five pass attractions on the last day — a helicopter tour, GoCar rental, the Big Apple Coaster, and an arcade with a photo booth. The marquee experiences that make the 3-day pass pay off. Daily attribution: $160.67 for two.
The Strip from the air — the single best view in Vegas. Usually a $100+ experience, covered by the pass. Book the time slot early; sunset flights go first.
Covered by pass · gate ~$100+A talking, GPS-guided little car that narrates its own route around the city. A genuinely fun, only-in-Vegas way to sightsee — covered by the pass.
Covered by passThe roller coaster that wraps the New York-New York facade. 200 feet up, 67 mph, right over the Strip. A pass-covered adrenaline hit.
Covered by passRetro games and a classic photo booth — a fun, low-key pass inclusion and the cheapest Vegas souvenir you’ll actually keep.
Covered by passDowntown’s neon canopy — the original Vegas. Live music, the Viva Vision light show overhead, and zip-liners flying past. Free to walk.
The “Pawn Stars” shop itself. Free to enter and browse the cases — a quick, fun stop for fans of the show. Expect a short line at peak times.
Back for another wander through the canals and painted skies. The interior rewards a second, slower look. Free as always.
The GoCar route itself doubles as a free scenic tour of the neighbourhoods — sightseeing built into the pass attraction.
Pass-covered helicopter tours run on timed slots that fill fast — reserve yours the moment you know your Vegas dates, not on the day. Sunset flights are the most requested and the most spectacular, so aim for one about 45 minutes before dusk to catch the Strip lighting up beneath you.
Skipped breakfast again, then a solid lunch and dinner around the day’s adventures. Total food: $54 for 2 people.
On a packed attraction day, skipping breakfast is the easy call — you’re moving early and the mornings are for the timed pass slots. Put the saved budget and appetite into a proper lunch and dinner. Our whole day of food came to $54 for two without anyone going hungry.
A helicopter over the Strip, a GoCar through the neon, a coaster over Manhattan, and Fremont Street’s canopy — the Go City pass ended on its best day.
