Deserts receive very little rainfall and contain few bodies of water, making travel bothersome, survival difficult, and surfing vacations less memorable. Partake in more productive desert entertainment with today's Groupon: for $69, you get a Vegas Dunes tour ride-along from Sun Buggy Fun Rentals (a $149 value).

Sun Buggy Fun Rentals' desert guides thrill passengers with 30-minute sand-flinging excursions aboard custom-, in-house-built dune buggies. During tours, riders aged four and older don protective helmets and strap into four-point racing harnesses before experienced guides spiral buggies through twisting trails, over wide-open ranges, and past desert-mirage pit crews. Customers also receive a complimentary hotel shuttle and unlimited bottled water.
