Viva Las Vegas! Go X is Rolling Into the Entertainment Capital with a Revolutionary Twist
The City of Lights Just Got a Whole Lot More Electric
Picture this: You're standing outside your Vegas hotel, the desert sun warming your face, and instead of hailing yet another rideshare or trudging through the heat, you grab your phone, unlock a sleek electric scooter, and zip off to explore the city at your own pace. No hunting for parking. No meter anxiety. Just pure, wind-in-your-hair freedom.
That's the Go X experience, and we're thrilled to bring it to Las Vegas.
After months of anticipation and a successful 3.5-month trial run, we've officially planted our flag in the entertainment capital of the world. But we're not just another scooter company dropping vehicles on your sidewalks and calling it a day. No, we're here to do Vegas differently – and dare we say, better.
Why Vegas Was Always Our Dream Destination
Las Vegas has always been on our radar. As our CEO Alex Debelov puts it, "When I come to Vegas, my options are either to walk or take an Uber ride, possibly rent a car, but that's going to be problematic with all the parking." He's right – this incredible city has been crying out for that perfect middle-ground transportation option.
The local media gets it too. Our launch has been making waves across Vegas news outlets, from Yahoo Tech's coverage of our innovative business model to the Las Vegas Review-Journal's deep dive into how we're bringing scooters back the right way. Even 102.7 VGS highlighted how we're delivering "electric scooters without the mess."
Think about it: Vegas is a city built for exploration. From the neon-soaked corridors of downtown to the hidden gems tucked away in local neighborhoods, there's so much more to this city than just the Strip. Yet for too long, visitors and locals alike have been stuck with limited options. Walking in 115-degree heat? No thanks. Paying surge pricing for a two-block Uber ride? Painful. Dealing with Strip parking? Don't even get us started.
We saw an opportunity to fill that gap, and we're grabbing it with both hands.
Our Not-So-Secret Sauce: Partnership Over Chaos
Here's where Go X zigs while others zag. We've all seen what happened when other scooter companies rolled into cities nationwide – sidewalks turned into obstacle courses, scooters abandoned in parks, and in Portland, people literally started throwing them in rivers. (Seriously, what a waste!)
We looked at that chaos and said, "There has to be a better way."
Enter our partnership model. Instead of littering the streets with scooters, we've teamed up with forward-thinking local businesses who serve as our home bases. These aren't just random drop points – they're strategic partnerships with businesses that believe in sustainable, smart transportation.
Our initial Vegas family includes:
- Howard Johnson by Wyndham
- Nirvana Hotel
- Vegas Slingshot Rentals (both locations!)
- Old Havana Cigars Lounge
- Lock Down Escape Room
- Strip View Café
- XO MINI MART
These businesses aren't just hosting our scooters – they're earning commissions on every ride that starts from their location. It's a win-win that pumps money directly back into the local economy while keeping our scooters organized and accessible.
Safety First, Adventure Always
Let's address the elephant in the room: safety. We know e-scooters have had their share of bad press, and frankly, some of it was deserved. That's why we've built safety into every aspect of the Go X experience.
Our scooters come equipped with cutting-edge geo-fencing technology. Approaching the Fremont Street Experience? Your scooter will warn you, then automatically slow down. Trying to ride somewhere you shouldn't? The scooter simply won't let you. We can throttle speeds from our max of 15 mph down to a crawling 5 mph in designated zones.
Before you even start riding, our app ensures you understand the rules. You confirm your age, acknowledge you have a driver's license, and agree to our safety guidelines. And here's the kicker – if you abandon a scooter outside a designated zone, you could face a fine up to $100. It might sound harsh, but it's this accountability that keeps our system working smoothly for everyone.
From 100 to 1,000: Our Vegas Growth Story
We started modestly with 100 scooters during our trial period, carefully testing the waters and learning the unique rhythms of Vegas. The response has been phenomenal. Locals discovered a new way to beat traffic on their daily commute. Tourists found they could actually explore beyond their hotel casino. Small business owners saw foot traffic increase as riders stopped by their partnered locations.
Now, we're ready to level up. Our goal? 1,000 scooters on Vegas streets by the end of 2024. But this isn't about flooding the market – it's strategic, sustainable growth. We're actively courting partnerships with major Strip resorts and expanding our network of local business partners. Every new scooter represents a carefully considered addition to our fleet, placed where it's needed most.
The Go X Difference: It's All in the Details
At just $1 to unlock and $0.88 per minute (or grab our unlimited plans if you're a frequent rider), we're making micro-mobility accessible to everyone. But it's not just about the price – it's about the experience.

Imagine you're a tourist wanting to check out that famous taco spot locals rave about, three miles from the Strip. With Go X, you unlock a scooter from your hotel, cruise through neighborhoods tourists rarely see, stop for those life-changing tacos, snap some photos at a cool mural you discovered along the way, and zip back – all for less than the cost of a single cocktail on the Strip.
Or maybe you're a local who works downtown but lives in Summerlin. Instead of sitting in traffic or paying for parking, you park at a partner location and scooter the last mile to work, turning your commute from a daily grind into the best part of your morning.
What's Next? The Sky's the Limit
Las Vegas is just the beginning of our Nevada story. We're already operating successfully in 15 cities nationwide, from the beaches of Daytona to the streets of New Orleans, and Vegas represents one of our most ambitious expansions yet.
We're in active conversations with Clark County and City of Las Vegas officials, working hand-in-hand to ensure our growth aligns with the community's needs. We're exploring partnerships with major resorts, expanding our business partner network, and constantly improving our technology to make rides safer and more enjoyable.
But more than anything, we're listening. To our riders who tell us where they need scooters most. To our business partners who share insights about traffic patterns and customer needs. To city officials who help us understand how to be better civic partners.
Join the Revolution
This isn't just about transportation – it's about reimagining how people experience Las Vegas. It's about giving locals an alternative to sitting in traffic. It's about helping tourists discover there's more to this incredible city than just the three-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard. It's about supporting local businesses and building a more sustainable, accessible Vegas for everyone.
