Zoox Robotaxis Arrive in Las Vegas: Everything You Need to Know

Written By Dan Raaf

Las Vegas just got a little more futuristic. Zoox, Amazon’s fully autonomous robotaxi service, has officially launched on the Strip, giving visitors and locals a new way to explore the city. Designed without a steering wheel or pedals, Zoox vehicles are sleek, electric, and built entirely for ride-hailing.

Here’s a complete guide to experiencing Zoox in Las Vegas - how to ride, where it goes, and what it costs.

What Is Zoox?

Zoox are self-driving vehicles that look like a box on wheels. But a cool box. Passengers sit in a cabin with bench seats facing each other. There is no front or back, so the vehicle can drive in either direction, making it weirdly efficient for city routes.

Where Does Zoox Operate in Vegas?

Right now, Zoox operates in a geo-fenced zone around the Strip, with rides beginning and ending at designated pickup and drop-off points. Current stops include:

  • Resorts World Las Vegas

  • AREA15

  • Topgolf

  • New York-New York Hotel & Casino

  • Luxor

The service area is expected to expand as testing and approvals progress.

How to Ride Zoox

Accessing Zoox is simple:

  • Download the Zoox app (available for iOS & Android).

  • Request a ride between approved pickup and drop-off points.

  • Look for Zoox concierges at partner properties like Resorts World and AREA15 to help guide you to pickup zones.

How Much Does It Cost?

For now, Zoox rides in Las Vegas are completely free while the company awaits regulatory approval to charge fares. Once cleared, Zoox has stated that prices will be comparable to taxis and ride-share services.

Travel Distance, Fleet, and Capacity

  • Distance: Rides are capped at about three miles per trip.

  • Capacity: Each Zoox carries up to four passengers.

  • Fleet Size: Around 50 robotaxis are currently deployed between Las Vegas and San Francisco, with most operating here in Vegas.

Restrictions & Safety Notes

  • Trips must start and end at approved locations.

  • The service is not yet citywide, but the area will expand over time.

  • Safety is supported with remote monitoring and in-vehicle help buttons.

  • Regulatory approval is ongoing, so Zoox is operating in a limited, demonstration capacity.

Why Zoox Matters for Las Vegas

Las Vegas has always been a playground for innovation, and Zoox fits right in. With free rides for now, seamless app access, and convenient Strip destinations, it’s an exciting glimpse into the future of urban transportation.

For visitors, it’s a fun and futuristic way to hop between resorts, attractions, and nightlife spots without the hassle of parking or surge pricing. Not to mention dealing with the awkward human component of taxi and Uber drivers. And the robots don’t ask for a tip.

Ride Zoox, Get More Vegas

Zoox is changing the way people move around Las Vegas, and the experience is only going to grow as more stops and features are added. To celebrate, Spearmint Rhino Las Vegas will be offering free entry to everyone who arrives at the club in a Zoox vehicle once the service is fully available.

So the next time you’re on the Strip, why not try the ride of the future — and get a little something extra on the house?
