What Is Included In The Las Vegas Pass: A Complete Guide

Go City All-Inclusive Las Vegas: What's Included

The All-Inclusive Pass gives you unlimited visits to all included attractions for 1, 2, 3, or 5 consecutive days. It's Go City's broadest product and the one that shows up most often when people search for a Las Vegas city pass. The key inclusions as of 2026:

• High Roller Observation Wheel — the 550-ft wheel on the Strip ($37 adult à-la-carte)
• SkyPod at The STRAT — observation deck + thrill rides ($25–$35)
• Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off Las Vegas — two-loop Strip + Downtown narrated tour ($49)
• Madame Tussauds Las Vegas — celebrity wax museum at The Venetian ($35)
• The Mob Museum — interactive history of organized crime, Downtown ($30)
• FlyLINQ Zipline — 1,121-ft zipline over the Linq Promenade ($39–$55)
• Vegas Indoor Skydiving — wind tunnel skydiving experience (~$80)
• Grand Canyon helicopter tours — premium credit (Papillon; retail $299–$599)
• Various guided tours — Hoover Dam excursions, city tours, food tours

Note: helicopter tours and several excursions require a separate advance reservation via Go City's booking portal. Walk-up entry applies to most Strip attractions. Always confirm the current partner list at gocity.com — the roster updates seasonally.

Go City Explorer Las Vegas: What's Included & How to Choose

The Explorer Pass lets you pick 2 to 7 attractions from the same 40+ list, valid for 60 days from first use. This is the smarter buy for a relaxed trip or when you only want a handful of specific experiences — especially expensive ones. We compared it with the All-Inclusive in our Go City All-Inclusive vs Explorer breakdown.

The same attraction list applies: High Roller, SkyPod, Big Bus, Madame Tussauds, Mob Museum, FlyLINQ, and helicopter tours are all selectable. The math changes completely here — you want to maximize value by picking the most expensive individual tickets. A 2-choice Explorer at ~$64 that covers the High Roller ($37) + FlyLINQ ($45) only saves you ~$18. Pick a helicopter tour ($299) as one of your credits and the calculus flips entirely.

Check the full Las Vegas Go City attraction list before deciding how many choices to buy — some attractions aren't worth a choice credit if you can grab them cheap elsewhere.

Las Vegas Party Pass: What's Included

The Party Pass is a completely separate product from Go City — it's sold directly by Tao Group Hospitality and covers nightlife only. One pass, valid Thursday through Sunday of a single weekend, gets you general admission entry to:

• OMNIA (Caesars Palace) — cover charges: $30–$60 ladies / $40–$100 men
• Marquee (The Cosmopolitan) — $30–$50 ladies / $50–$100 men
• Hakkasan (MGM Grand) — $30–$60 ladies / $40–$100 men
• TAO (The Venetian) — $30–$50 ladies / $40–$80 men
• JEWEL (Aria) — $20–$40 ladies / $30–$60 men
• TAO Beach — daytime pool party access
• Palm Tree Beach Club — daytime pool party access
• Plus additional Tao Group venues (current list at taogroup.com)

What it does not include: drinks, bottle service, or VIP table reservation. Dress code is strictly enforced — upscale attire only. The pass gives you expedited entry past the general admission queue, which on busy DJ nights can save 45–90 minutes per club.

Worth-It Math: 2026 À-La-Carte vs Pass Price

We priced these in 2026. Here's the arithmetic that determines whether each pass actually saves you money.

Go City All-Inclusive (2-day pass, ~$119)

Scenario: typical two-day sightseer hitting the main attractions.

2-day pass: ~$119. You save $102 — roughly 46%. That's a real win if you genuinely do all six. If you only hit three (say High Roller + Big Bus + Madame Tussauds = $121), you're essentially at break-even. Break-even on the All-Inclusive is roughly 3 activities per day of your pass.

Go City Explorer (3-choice pass, ~$89)

Scenario: selective traveler who wants the High Roller, helicopter tour, and one museum.

3-choice Explorer: ~$89. You save $277+ — a massive win. The Explorer is worth it precisely when you use one credit on a helicopter or premium tour. If you use all 3 choices on lower-cost attractions (High Roller + FlyLINQ + Madame Tussauds = $117 à-la-carte vs ~$89 pass), you're saving ~$28 — still positive, but modest. The Explorer loses money if you pick cheap options that don't add up past the pass cost.

Las Vegas Party Pass (~$85, mid-range weekend)

Scenario: hitting two clubs on Saturday night.

Party Pass ~$85. You save $25–$115 just on two clubs, plus you get unlimited entries across all 7+ venues Thursday–Sunday. If you only go to one club once, the pass doesn't pay off. Two clubs in one weekend is the break-even; three or more and it's a clear win. Ladies often break even at just one entry given lower cover charges at most venues.

Buy It If / Skip It If

Go City All-Inclusive — Buy It If:

• You're doing 3+ attractions per day of your pass window
• This is a dedicated sightseeing trip, not a gambling/show/pool trip
• You want skip-the-line convenience at multiple stops

Go City All-Inclusive — Skip It If:

• You'll only do 1–2 things per day — the math doesn't work
• Most of your trip is casinos, shows, restaurants, or pool time (none of those are covered)
• You're visiting just one or two specific attractions — buy tickets directly

Go City Explorer — Buy It If:

• You want a helicopter tour or other premium experience as one of your credits
• You have a flexible itinerary spread over several days (60-day window)
• You're selective — only 3–5 specific things on your list

Go City Explorer — Skip It If:

• All your chosen attractions are under $40 à-la-carte and you're only picking 2–3
• You want spontaneous unlimited access — that's the All-Inclusive's job

Las Vegas Party Pass — Buy It If:

• You're doing 2+ Tao Group clubs per weekend
• Skipping the queue is a priority on busy Saturday nights
• You want to venue-hop without paying cover at each door

Las Vegas Party Pass — Skip It If:

• You only plan one club visit — buy a direct guest list spot instead (often free for ladies via hotel concierge)
• You prefer non-Tao venues (Drai's, Zouk, Encore Beach, Wynn Nightlife — none are included)
• You want VIP tables — the pass is standard admission only

Go City Essentials Las Vegas: The Newer Mini-Bundle

The Essentials Pass is Go City's newer, lower-cost option — a curated fixed bundle of roughly 4–6 attractions at a discounted package price. It's designed for budget-conscious visitors who want the convenience of a single ticket but don't need access to the full 40+ attraction menu. Think of it as a starter pack: less flexible than the Explorer, less expensive than the All-Inclusive.

Exact inclusions vary by season. Check gocity.com/en/las-vegas for the current Essentials bundle contents before buying — it sometimes rotates. If the inclusions match your planned stops, the ~$49 entry point can be the best deal of the three Go City tiers. If they don't match, the Explorer's 60-day flexibility is usually the better buy.

What Las Vegas Passes Do NOT Cover

Knowing what's excluded is just as important as knowing what's included. None of the Go City pass tiers cover:

• Casino gaming, shows, Cirque du Soleil, or sporting events
• Restaurant meals or buffets (even at hotel-casinos)
• Hotel pools or spa access
• Transportation (taxis, rideshare, monorail)
• Attractions outside the partner list (e.g., Sphere Las Vegas is NOT included)
• The High Roller Happy Half Hour (drinks-included ticket upgrade)

The Party Pass covers entry only — no drinks, no tables, no VIP access. Both pass families require a valid photo ID at entry. For families planning the trip, our Las Vegas city pass for families guide covers child pricing and kid-appropriate stops in detail.

Practical Tips for Using Your Las Vegas Pass

• Reserve helicopter tours immediately after purchase — Papillon slots fill 3–7 days in advance, especially in spring and fall. Don't assume walk-up availability.
• Download the Go City app before you land — QR codes live in the app; cellular signal on the Strip can be patchy at peak hours.
• Activate strategically — the All-Inclusive clock starts ticking on first scan. Don't activate it the morning you land if you plan a slow check-in day.
• Check opening hours daily — some attractions have seasonal closures or reduced weekend hours. The Mob Museum, for instance, opens at 9 AM; STRAT observation is open late.
• Party Pass dress code is non-negotiable — Tao Group enforces upscale attire at all venues. Sneakers, athletic wear, or sandals will get you turned away regardless of your pass. Smart casual minimum; club attire recommended.
