Las Vegas Pass Calculator: Is Go City Worth It? (2026)
Vegas has two Go City passes and a catch: the headline attractions people actually want, the Cirque shows, the helicopter over the Strip, are either a single premium pick or not on the pass at all. Tick your real list and see whether the pass beats the gate.
1. Who's going, and for how long?
Days matter for unlimited passes; pick-a-number passes give you weeks.
2. What do you want to see?
Gate prices are our researched baselines (as of July 2026).
Live prices for the attractions you ticked above. Buying these one by one is the honest option whenever a pass doesn't beat the gate.
Prices per person in USD unless noted. Children priced at each operator's child rate where published; gate-price child tickets estimated at 80% of adult. Choice-slot menu rules are simplified; the linked booking pages have the exact menus.
How the Las Vegas passes actually work
Is a Las Vegas pass worth it?
Only if you genuinely want the museum-and-observation-deck circuit. The Vegas attractions on the pass are cheap individually ($25 to $35 each), so you need three or four in a day before the all-inclusive pass makes sense. If your Vegas list is really a show, a nice dinner and a pool day, no pass helps you: buy the tickets.
Does the pass include Cirque du Soleil or the Grand Canyon helicopter?
Not the way people assume. On the 3-day and longer all-inclusive pass you get ONE premium pick: a helicopter flight, a Cirque show (KA or Mad Apple), a food tour, or a hike. It is one of those, not all of them, and the menu changes. We deliberately do not model that pick in the numbers above; the helicopter is priced as a separate gate ticket so the comparison stays honest.
All-Inclusive or Explorer?
Explorer wins for most people. Vegas sightseeing is spread out and you will not do four attractions a day between the restaurants and the shows, and the Explorer gives you 30 days to use your picks. The all-inclusive only wins on a genuinely packed sightseeing day.
