Despite its barren disposition, the desert is a thriving zoological environment overrun with unique critters such as the barb-tailed scorpion, the Groucho-mustachioed lizard, and immortal cartoon coyote. Observe the desert’s often unbelievable specimens with today's Groupon: for $99, you get a six-hour Hummer Adventure Tour from Rebel Adventure Tours, located on Ogden Avenue (a $199 value).

Rebel Adventure Tours guides adventurer-achievers through the natural beauty of Nevada, sending thrill-thirsty wanderlusters on sand-raising excursions through the Las Vegas desert. With this deal, you’ll get a Hummer Adventure Tour, allowing desert-surfers to marvel at the rugged Southwestern majesty of badland landmarks such as Lizard Eye Ridge and Lava Butte, then tumbleweed off-road for some car-frolicking through Rainbow Gardens. Buckle up in air-conditioned, specially equipped deep-desert vehicles, which go where other automobiles can't, deftly navigating a rough and tumble terrain of mountains, rivers, and lime Jell-O. Off-road traversers will spot man-made monuments, such as Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, as well as two-billion-year-old cliffs and rock formations.

The Hummer Adventure Tour runs three to seven days a week and includes bottled water, refreshments, and lunch. Each staff member is fully trained in necessary safety procedures and suited to handle any injuries caused by boxing-gloved cacti. All parched explorers must call ahead to make a reservation.
