Las Vegas: Go City All-Inclusive Pass with 45+ Attractions

Las Vegas is easy to enjoy badly: you pay separately for a few headline attractions, spend half your time crossing the Strip, and wonder where your money went. The Go City All-Inclusive Pass gives you a useful counterplan, with one digital pass covering 45+ attractions over 2, 3, 4, or 5 consecutive days.

I especially like the chance to combine major sights such as the High Roller and Eiffel Tower Experience with less obvious choices such as Real Bodies, Illuminarium, and the Neon Museum. I also like the premium option on longer passes, though you need to reserve busy tours and shows early, and two days can feel rushed.

Key points to know before buying

• Choose your days carefully: The pass works for 2, 3, 4, or 5 consecutive calendar days, not separate visits spread across your holiday.
• The 3-day pass changes the value equation: It includes one premium choice, such as a Grand Canyon tour, Cirque du Soleil, or a Strip helicopter flight.
• High Roller access is daytime only: The included ticket is for visits between 12 pm and 5 pm.
• Plan by neighborhood: Las Vegas attractions are spread across the Strip, downtown, and outlying areas, so transport time matters.
• The app is a planning tool, not just a ticket: It shows current attractions, hours, reservation details, and can help build a daily plan.
• Check every attraction before setting out: Hours, partners, and included activities can change, and some attractions close on particular weekdays.

How the Las Vegas pass works

You buy the pass before your visit, then activate it by scanning or showing it at your first included attraction. It remains valid for one year from the purchase date before activation. Once activated, the clock starts running for the number of consecutive calendar days you selected.

That last point matters. A three-day pass used on Monday is valid Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It is not three separate 24-hour periods, and you cannot pause it because you feel tired on day two. Start early on your first day if you want the strongest return.

The current advertised price is $147 per person, though you should check the price for your chosen duration and travel dates before buying. Go City advertises savings of up to 50 percent compared with separate tickets, but that figure depends on how many attractions you visit and which ones you choose. You only save money if you use the pass actively.

The digital pass can be saved to your phone or tablet, and you can also print it. I would download the Go City app and sync the pass before leaving your hotel. It provides the current attraction list, opening times, booking instructions, and any important changes. That is more useful than relying on an old plan made at home.

Picking the right pass length

A two-day pass suits a short Las Vegas break if you are organized and willing to keep moving. You can cover several attractions in one day, but the city is spread out and walking between hotels takes longer than the map suggests. One short visit inside a casino resort can turn into a long trek through gaming floors, shops, bridges, and corridors.

A three-day pass is the sensible choice for many people. It gives you more breathing room and adds one premium attraction. That premium choice may be worth the extra cost by itself, especially if you select a Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon day tour, Cirque du Soleil, or a helicopter flight over the Strip.

Four- and five-day passes are better for a relaxed schedule. They allow you to combine major paid attractions with smaller museums, rides, food credits, and tours without turning every morning into a military operation. They also give you a little protection against bad weather, tired legs, or a closed attraction.

The pass does not require you to use every included activity. That is good, since no one should try to visit 45 attractions in one trip. Your aim is to choose enough high-value experiences to beat the cost of separate admission.

Building a useful Strip day

The pass works best when you group attractions by location. A possible Strip day could include the High Roller, the Big Apple Roller Coaster at New York-New York, the Eiffel Tower Experience at Paris Las Vegas, and Madame Tussauds. These are all familiar Las Vegas names, but they offer different views of the city.

The High Roller is the clearest place to get your bearings. At 550 feet, it is the world’s tallest observation wheel, and the included ticket is for daytime entry between noon and 5 pm. The daytime window is a limitation if you hoped for a night view, but it can still be useful early in your pass period, when you are deciding what to see from the ground.

The Eiffel Tower Experience gives you a high view from the center of the Strip. The Tower at the STRAT offers another high viewpoint at the north end, helping you understand how long the Strip really is. Visiting both in one day may sound repetitive, but their locations give you two different perspectives.

At New York-New York, the Big Apple Roller Coaster brings a more physical kind of sightseeing. It is a good fit if you want a ride rather than another observation deck. The attraction list also includes FlyOver, a simulated flying ride that several visitors found especially memorable. Check operating times and access rules before you go, since ride availability can change.

Big Bus and the problem of distance

The one-day Big Bus Classic daytime tour is a practical way to see more of Las Vegas without walking the whole Strip. You can use it to learn the layout, get between major areas, and decide where you want to return later.

Do not treat the bus as a magic solution for every transfer. Routes and stops follow their own timetable, and you still need to allow time for waiting and walking. Use it on a day when you want an overview, not when you have tightly timed reservations every hour.

Las Vegas also requires more transport planning than first-time visitors expect. Some included activities are far from the central Strip, and reaching them may require a bus, rideshare, rental car, or a hotel pickup arranged by the operator. One visitor found that a rental car or Uber was needed for several attractions. Build those costs into your calculation.

Museums, shows, and attractions beyond the casino floor

The pass is not just a collection of large viewpoints. It includes attractions that offer a change of pace from casinos and hotel interiors.

At Madame Tussauds, you can take photographs with lifelike wax figures in a theatrical setting. Real Bodies at Horseshoe Las Vegas offers a more serious visit, with preserved human specimens and an educational focus. It may appeal strongly to anyone interested in medicine or anatomy, but it is not a light family attraction for every group.

Discovering King Tut’s Tomb at the Luxor uses the hotel’s Egyptian theme as a setting for an exhibit. At Dino Safari, you get a walk-through prehistoric display. Illuminarium at AREA15 adds large-scale visual effects and changing environments. These attractions are useful on a hot afternoon, since they provide indoor breaks between outdoor walks and rooftop views.

The Neon Museum is one of the more distinctive choices. Its collection of old Las Vegas signs helps explain the city’s visual past and gives you something different from the polished resort experience. Admission is general entry, so check if any special tours or timed access require an additional booking.

Longer passes can include one premium show choice, such as Ka by Cirque du Soleil or Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil. Shows require more fixed planning than museums or observation decks. Reserve early, confirm the performance time, and avoid booking a show on a day when you have also scheduled a distant canyon tour.

Choosing the premium attraction

The premium option is available with three-, four-, and five-day passes. The exact choices can change, so confirm them in the app or current guide before purchase.

The Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon full-day tour is the biggest time commitment. It takes an entire day, but it turns the pass into more than a Strip sightseeing product. A canyon trip can be the best choice if you want a major natural attraction and do not plan to arrange a separate tour.

A previous Grand Canyon outing was guided by Paul, while a Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon experience had a host named America. Those names are useful reference points if they appear on your confirmed tour details, but guides and operators can change. The important practical point is that a full-day tour consumes one of your pass days, so use it on a longer pass whenever possible.

The Strip Highlights Night Flight with Papillon Helicopters offers a very different view. It is a short, high-impact choice for someone who prefers an evening flight over a full day away from Las Vegas. Helicopter availability may require a phone call rather than online booking, so do not leave it until the last afternoon.

Cirque du Soleil is a good premium choice if you want a polished evening show and prefer to remain in town. The Finger Licking self-guided Downtown Foodie Tour suits people who would rather eat their way through downtown than sit in a theater or spend hours on a coach.

Hoover Dam, food credits, and smaller bonuses

A half-day Hoover Dam tour can be a strong use of the pass. It gives you a break from the Strip and adds an important piece of the region’s engineering story. Some pickup arrangements use selected hotels, including Excalibur, Horseshoe or Bally’s, and MGM, but confirm the current pickup points before you plan your morning.

Food credits can help the pass feel more practical. Señor Frog’s includes a $15 food and drink credit, and one pass user also used a food discount at Planet Hollywood Restaurant in the Forum Shops. Treat these as bonuses rather than the reason to buy the pass. A food credit is useful only if you already want to eat at the participating venue.

Other included choices can include the GoCar Las Vegas Strip tour and access to selected rides or attractions. These can add variety, but availability and opening hours are not always consistent. One attraction may be closed for a season, permanently removed, or unavailable on a weekday. Always check before crossing town.

Reservations, schedules, and avoiding wasted time

The pass is easy to scan once you reach an attraction, but the planning is not automatic. Popular shows, helicopter flights, canyon tours, and certain timed attractions need reservations. A pass does not guarantee a seat on a sold-out tour.

I would make a short list before activating the pass:

• Pick the premium attraction first if you are buying three days or more.
• Reserve fixed-time activities before arranging flexible ones.
• Group attractions by the Strip, downtown, and farther-out areas.
• Check weekday opening times, not just the general attraction page.
• Leave space for meals, transport, and the simple fact that Las Vegas is tiring.

The app can help create a schedule, which is useful if you have many possibilities. Still, I would treat its plan as a starting point. You know your walking pace, preferred meal times, and tolerance for busy days better than any automated schedule.

Who gets the best value

This pass suits first-time visitors who want to see several paid attractions and do not want to gamble away every evening. Families can use it for rides, museums, observation decks, and indoor attractions, though adults should check age and identification rules at individual venues. One visitor noted that identification was required at several attractions, so carry an accepted ID.

It also works well for people who enjoy variety. You can see a view from the High Roller, visit an exhibit, ride a coaster, take a bus tour, and finish with a show without buying each experience separately.

It is less attractive for a slow trip built around pool time, restaurants, nightlife, or one major show. It may also disappoint if you activate it late in the day. Since the days run consecutively, a late first scan wastes part of the first calendar day.

Mobility deserves thought, too. The Strip involves bridges, long indoor routes, elevators, and considerable walking. A mobility scooter can help, but access routes and elevator availability may vary. The Big Bus or rideshare can reduce the strain, though transport is not included.

Is the $147 pass worth it?

At $147 per person, the pass can pay for itself quickly if you choose several substantial attractions. High Roller, a major observation deck, a show, a bus tour, and a premium canyon or helicopter option can create strong value. The savings claim of up to 50 percent is possible, but only with a well-used pass and a favorable selection of attractions.

The clearest warning is simple: do not buy the pass without a plan. A two-day pass can be excellent value, but six attractions may be all you manage once walking and transport are counted. A three-day pass often offers the better balance because it gives you a premium choice and more time to use the ordinary attractions.

Should you book the Go City Las Vegas Pass?

Book it if you want a busy sightseeing trip, can organize reservations, and plan to use several included attractions each day. I would favor three days or more if the Grand Canyon, Cirque du Soleil, or a helicopter flight appeals to you.

Skip it if you want a loose schedule or only care about one or two attractions. For everyone else, download the current guide, check opening days, reserve the fixed-time activities, and group your stops by area. Used that way, the pass can turn Las Vegas from an expensive collection of one-off tickets into a well-planned sightseeing break.
