• Pioneer Saloon - Start your Mojave journey in Goodsprings, a historic desert town with rich Old West charm and a favorite among Fallout: New Vegas enthusiasts. Visit the Pioneer Saloon, a renowned Southern Nevada establishment since 1913, famous for its burgers, beverages, ghost-town vibe, and roadside history. It’s an ideal spot for photos, enjoying a meal or a “Sunset Sarsaparilla”-inspired drink, and immersing yourself in a Mojave adventure. Note that food and drinks are not included.
• Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort - Explore one of Las Vegas’s earliest historic sites, offering a real-world glimpse into the desert crossroads that shaped the region. The Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort preserves the area’s early settlement history, where natural springs provided a rare desert oasis for Indigenous communities, travelers, traders, and later Mormon missionaries. This stop serves as a “pre-Strip” history lesson, reminding visitors that Las Vegas began with water, trail routes, and desert survival long before the neon lights.
• Jean - Travel through Jean, a small desert highway outpost south of Las Vegas that sets the tone for the Mojave route. This stop is more about the ambiance: open highways, desert plains, mountain vistas, and the unique edge-of-civilization feeling that gives Southern Nevada its cinematic allure. Depending on timing, Jean can serve as a quick photo opportunity, route marker, or transition point toward Primm, Goodsprings, or deeper Mojave destinations.
• Primm - Discover Primm, a remote casino-and-highway town near the Nevada–California border with an authentic Mojave roadside atmosphere. With its desert backdrop, aging resort architecture, roller coaster skyline, and border-town energy, Primm adds a surreal wasteland vibe to the journey. This stop is perfect for photos, fan-inspired comparisons, and that classic “outpost on the edge of the desert” feeling before venturing further into the Mojave.
• Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System - Make a brief stop or drive-by at a real Mojave solar-energy landmark reminiscent of the HELIOS One atmosphere from Fallout: New Vegas. Although not an official game location, it allows fans to connect the route’s real desert infrastructure with the game’s solar-power themes. Expect expansive desert views, industrial solar landscapes, and a fun fan-inspired photo opportunity along the way.
• Nipton - Visit Nipton, a secluded Mojave Desert town with strong fan appeal and a tranquil, remote outpost ambiance. Originally linked to mining, ranching, rail traffic, and desert travel routes, Nipton enhances the road-trip experience with open desert vistas, historic structures, and an off-the-grid atmosphere. Access and services may vary, so treat this stop as a flexible route highlight rather than a guaranteed attraction.
• Cottonwood Cove - Cottonwood Cove offers a distinct contrast to the Mojave route, swapping dry desert highways for the blue-water beauty of Lake Mohave and the Colorado River corridor. This stop provides a remote outpost feel with desert mountains, marina views, and a quieter side of the region far from the Strip. It’s best suited for an extended route due to the additional driving time, but it delivers a strong visual reward and a more comprehensive Mojave road-trip experience.
• Searchlight - Proceed to Searchlight, a historic Southern Nevada mining town surrounded by open Mojave Desert, old roads, and rugged mountain scenery. Established in the late 1890s around the Searchlight Mine, the town adds a deeper desert-history layer to the route with its gold-mining roots, highway outpost energy, and a serene “middle of the wasteland” feeling that Fallout: New Vegas fans will appreciate. Searchlight is an excellent transition stop between Nipton, Cottonwood Cove, Nelson, and the broader Mojave route. Depending on timing, it can be a quick photo stop, rest stop, or optional history stop before delving deeper into the desert. The local Searchlight Museum highlights the history of this over 100-year-old community and its mining heritage.
• Nelson Ghost Town - Explore Nelson Ghost Town and Eldorado Canyon, one of the most picturesque old mining areas near Las Vegas. Situated southeast of the city along Highway 165, this area is renowned for the Techatticup Mine, weathered vehicles, desert textures, historic structures, and a strong abandoned-Mojave atmosphere. It’s an excellent photo stop for those interested in mining history, ghost-town visuals, and a more cinematic desert backdrop. Note that any admission, mine tour, parking, or photography fees are not included.
