First, know that you MUST have the app on your phone or you're going nowhere. You will need to enter information about yourself and add payment method. like you do when you sign up for any ride share app. Then you request a genuine ride. I took the Zook from Resorts World to NY NY Hotel and Casino as it is their longest route. You can follow the time until your Zoox arrives by looking at the app. Since there are several, you are shown the license plate number on your app. When the Zoox arrived, you open the doors with your app. After being seated, if necessary, there will be an announcement that all seat belts had to be fastened before going anywhere. Then off you go. Like smart locals, the units use back streets. They do not go on the Strip. I went Sammy Davis Jr. Drive, then a left at Frank Sinatra, and finally, a left into the T-Mobile Arena area and past the Toshiba Plaza. Since I requested my first ride at 11 AM, the time they start operating daily, there was a longer wait than when the units were out and making pick ups and drop offs. It is interesting to see how well they can navigate traffic especially busy at NY NY's porte-cochère. After a Starbucks in NY NY, I went outside and requested a unit to go back to Resorts World. I would recommewnd if you are going to try this out, too, that you start from RW. There is a booth there and two workers, one a lovely, very helpful young lady! Currently, there is no charge during this opening phase. Las Vegas, you always set my soul on fire! Remember--GET the app! read more

I tried Zoox out here in Las Vegas and didn't really know what to expect, but it ended up being a really awesome experience. Thanks sis. You do have to download the app first, but it's super simple and easy to use. And honestly, if you've used Uber or Lyft, it'll feel very familiar. Booking was quick and the whole process was super easy. The ride itself is smooth and way more comfortable than I expected. Acceleration is actually pretty quick too, but still feels controlled. Honestly, the best part is just sitting back and taking it all in. No driver, just cruising around Vegas... kinda wild in my view. And the fact that it's free right now, makes it a no-brainer to try. I highly recommend when visiting Vegas. Overall, just a fun experience and something totally different. I'd definitely invest in this new technology as the future is here. All aboard. read more

When my friend suggested riding in a "self-driving toaster", I thought he was kidding. Once I realized that he was serious, I became intrigued. I've never ridden in an autonomous vehicle and figured Vegas would be a perfect place to try it out. Zoox is a subsidiary of Amazon. They describe their vehicles as robo taxis. In order to ride, you have to download the app. Rides are currently free as they are still in the testing phase. We waited about 20 minutes for the Zoox to pick us up. Unlike a typical taxi, they only have a few designated pick up/drop off spots around the Strip. We opted to get picked up at Nordstrom (Fashion Show Mall), and dropped off at Top Golf. Once we were dropped off, we had about a 15 minute walk to our destination. In addition to the limited stops, they do not currently offer rides 24/7. At the time of our ride (February 2026), we were able to request a ride until 1 am. The vehicle seats 4. Each seat has a touch screen where you can control the temperature and music. The screen shows you how long you have before you arrive at the destination. I didn't realize it, but there's a wireless charging pad near the cupholders. The car had a cool ambiance. Since we rode at night, the interior had a starry night feel. There are two mini moon roofs that literally look like a toaster. The seats were comfortable enough for a short ride. Each seat has seat belts and the vehicles does have airbags. I felt pretty safe during the ride. Zoox is currently operating in Las Vegas and they're about to roll out in San Francisco. The website mentions that they will be bringing their vehicles to Austin and Miami too (not sure when). It was nice to not have to make small talk with a driver. Though it's currently limited, it's a unique option if you're on the Strip. It was a fun and interesting experience and I would ride one again (especially while they're still free). read more

WHAT IS ZOOX AND WHY DID I TRY IT? Zoox operates in limited locations and is one of Amazon's fully driverless vehicle initiatives in Las Vegas. I booked the ride primarily for the experience and, secondarily, because I have teenagers who think this technology is fascinating. HOW DOES ZOOX WORK? You download the Zoox app, schedule your ride, and add a credit card. During this early phase, rides were free, even though a card was required. Ride wait time can last up to 45 minutes, but service is limited to about five Las Vegas hotels. I stayed at the New York-New York. Be aware that pickup locations are at the front of hotels, not always where Uber picks up, even if the drop-off location looks similar. Everything runs through the app, which worked smoothly and provided arrival updates and a live travel map. The app worked great. HOW SAFE AND COMFORTABLE DID THE RIDE FEEL? From a safety and comfort perspective, I had mixed feelings. I'm a Class B driver so a driverless car is not more safe than having class B driving experience. During the ride, another vehicle came close to sideswiping us. Zoox did move out of the way, but not as quickly as I would have expected. I could not tell whether the delay was due to sensor interpretation, or system decision-making, or whoever is controlling it at the "secretive station". As a passenger, the hesitation increased my anxiety. The situation resolved safely, but it did not inspire confidence. WHAT WERE THE BIGGEST SAFETY CONCERNS? One critical concern for me is that the vehicle does not have a horn. As a Class B driver, I consider a horn a fundamental safety tool. It is often the fastest way to communicate with other drivers and prevent near-miss situations. The absence of a horn alone would make me cautious about riding again, and it is the primary reason I would not support widespread adoption at this stage, unless you have stock. HOW DID IT FEEL AS A PASSENGER OVERALL? The ride was smooth, seating spacious. While it was a short trip (2 miles) my anxiety was manageable, I would not choose this option for longer distances. The experience felt more like a controlled experiment than everyday transportation. WHAT FEATURES STOOD OUT IN A POSITIVE WAY? *Fully driverless design with no steering wheel or pedals, which is striking to see in motion. *Spacious, symmetrical interior that allows passengers to sit facing each other comfortably. *Smooth acceleration and braking overall, especially in normal traffic flow. *Stopped completely at all stop signs and lights. *Large windows and a clean, modern cabin design that feels intentionally built for passengers, not retrofitted. *Tinted windows. *Music & sound was good. *Inside mood lighting. *On-screen ride information that helps passengers understand what the vehicle is doing during the trip. WOULD I RIDE ZOOX AGAIN OR RECOMMEND IT? I am glad I tried Zoox for the experience, and I understand why teenagers and tech enthusiasts find it exciting. However, from a professional driving and safety perspective, I would approach it with caution. Until basic safety signaling, such as a horn, and more predictive responsiveness are addressed, this is not a service I would personally endorse for regular use. BTW, Zoox is safer than some human drivers, smh. "The Jetsons era is here. But on land " read more

It was cool. Self driving "cabs". The wait was long... like excessively long. But it was also free so there's that. I liked the buggy and the concept the missing star was purely on the wait time read more

Currently no charge because it's in testing stages. I've taken it twice. First time from Resorts World with 0 wait time & second time from Nordstrom's with about a 1/2 hour wait. Both experiences were flawless. You can change the music to whatever you please & even charge your phone. At night the interior roof lights up. Download the app & give it a try....especially while it's free! read more

Since we were staying at the Luxor, we had to try the Zoox robotaxi. Before our visit, I downloaded the app. During the testing phase it is free and only goes to a few locations. Pretty handy and a little more like a theme park ride since there is no steering wheel. Order the ride but you only get the wait time after you book it. Open the doors via the app then you do everything via the touchscreens - close the doors, start the ride, control the type of music, control temperature and finish the ride. My only beef is that the wait times on a busy weekend are not known until you book it. Otherwise, it is a great ride. read more

Had a chance to try out the zook autonomous ride while we were in Vegas. For the rollout, all of the rides are currently free. To use, you download the app and do a simple registration, no CC required yet. There are only a few stops so far( Luxor, New York, New York, Area15, Resorts World, and AYU Dayclub). So your only options are to go between these locations at this time. The ride is a unique breadbox shaped vehicle. It's not a car, but a pod which seats 4 comfortably with ample space for some luggage. The seats are bore like sitting on a bus, than the more laid back chairs in a car. In addition there are controls for temperature, and music controls. The windows are smoked and hard to see outside at nighttime. The ride was smooth, and uncannily accurate almost amazing. I felt that the car drove fast as well, so you are really putting your trust into the technology so to speak. Looking forward to the updates and expansion of this new transportation and how it will affect the current landscape in Vegas. read more

A driverless car: what a concept. Since the Zoox is in the Beta stages, there isn't a charge. Riders download the app and select a pick up location. There are only 6 or 7 places to be picked up/ dropped off. We chose Wynn since we knew where it was. The vehicle isn't set up for scooters. The concept is great. It is fun looking out the window and seeing the reaction of people. It is a bit weird not having a driver. Some drivers didn't understand what was going on and would honk - but you have no input/control of the car, other than the radio. If you are in a driverless car, the radio is the last thing you are thinking out. The experience is interesting. I would try it again. We didn't have a long wait. I can imagine the evening would get busier. read more

After waited 45+ minutes, an operator contacted me and saying i can't ride with my baby because under 8 and right after they cancelled our ride some other people went into it with a stroller and no problem. 1. The app should be more specific about the age restrictions 2. Double standart. read more

Zoox - They said under 8 yrs can't ride but it's not true. Double standards - Taxis Near Me

This was such a fun experience. I've tried the Waymo in LA, and Zoox is hands-down a superior experience. I love that there is so much room inside and that everyone faces each other. We had some bags with us, and there was plenty of space. You're able to adjust the music type and volume, the temperature, etc. It's great. There's also no weird driver to talk to. We ordered our ride and waited maybe ten minutes. When it came, we were alerted in the app and were able to identify the car by the license number. It dropped off passengers and closed its doors. Then I waited for the app to tell me to open the doors. We entered, closed the doors, put on our seatbelts, and started the ride. I can't wait for these to come to LA, but I heard they're going to SF first. The rides are currently free in Las Vegas, so make sure to stop by and check them out. You just can't bring animals or small children (under 8, I think). read more

Ladies and gentlemen, we are technologically in the 22nd century, after experiencing Zoox. Zoox is affiliated with Amazon and it consists of DRIVERLESS.....yes, D.R.I.V.E.R.L.E.S.S....vehicles that are constantly zipping around the Las Vegas Strip. Zoox Las Vegas is in a beta program and is offering "FREE" daily rides, from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. After downloading the Zoox application, you'll be able to schedule rides throughout selected sites throughout the Strip. Once the Zoox arrives, you'll be able to open the doors through the app. Once inside, you'll see seating for a maximum of four riders. The vehicle will not move until every occupant is seated and seat belted. Once the ride starts, you'll be able to control the music and the environment. The rides are smooth, the music is enjoyable, and the vehicles moved a lot faster than I expected. If you ever require help at any time, you could speak to a staff member. So, assistance is always available. Zoox will be rolling out programs in Austin, Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., soon. When you use Zoox, try to ride it during the day and the evening. It is two different experiences that will leave you in awe and wanting more. read more

I saw these running across the street from the Trump Resort. Google search found Zoox. Download the app, be in range of a pickup spot & request ride. Follow the online map for your ride, with timely arrival. After it parks, you approach the vehicle and it recognizes your phone, it says hit button to open door. The interior is huge - 4 plus size passengers would be no problem. Once seated it informs you to fasten safety belts. Once done, push button to close door, push button to start ride. The Luxor ride was 12 minutes, Resort World 6 minutes. We rode to the casinos daily enjoying the free trial period. I would pay for this anytime. Better than Disney E ticket ride. Air conditioning adjustable, music channels available, and at night the ceiling has stars!!! Huge fan of the robot car. read more

Zoox - The ride! - Taxis Near Me

Zoox is a small company, now owned by Amazon, that works on autonomous taxis. They build their cars from the ground up. They don't try to mimic normal cars, and they're built specifically for autonomous transportation purposes. At this time (October 2025), they're testing their vehicles in Las Vegas. They've geofenced their vehicles to transport passengers between five locations in Vegas: Resorts World, Area 15, Top Golf, Luxor, and New York/New York. Based on what I've seen from the press, they will be geofencing their taxi rides for the foreseeable future as they are focused on a safe roll out. To hail the ride, download their app and go to the Zoox counter at one of these locations. The wait times range between 15 minutes and 75 minutes and it's a free ride as they continue to accumulate safety data. Definitely great to be able to get a ride for free; however, to be five stars, it would be of more use to me if they had more/different end destinations and if they had more cars to meet demand. Overall, I appreciate the way that they're rolling this out. and I would love to see more of these in more cities, and I hope they're successful! read more

Great test ride there were some delays but safety first. Zoox in our case missed its turn off and we had to go around the block due to bad drivers and we did not mind at all. Cool car seats four comfortably. I would definitely use this service keeping in mind leave early for the unexpected. You need to download the APP and expect the wait for pick from 1hour-115 Minutes from designated stops only. Point A to point B routes are on the backstreets for efficiency not moving on the strip. read more

Omg what a FUN experience! This is located at the Valet Drive at Resorts World. The process was really easy, scan QR code at the desk to sign your life away, just kidding - just basic info. Bring to the desk and they schedule your ride. There's two options - short ride (I think property perimeter) and the long ride (behind casinos and up the strip partially). We chose the longer ride. Inside you have the options to set your temperature and your music. I think it drive better than I do. Lol. Can't wait to see these out in the streets. Definitely our future! read more

Zoox robo taxi is so good and advanced I just love the way it is. It's awesome! Inside, we have AC, music, phone charging and four comfortable seats. I really appreciate the way the employees guide and explain everything; they make the experience even better. This was my second time riding Zoox, and the surprising thing is--it's completely free. Just wow! I honestly wish they could start it everywhere so people can use it. A robot driving the taxi without anyone behind the wheel is just amazing, and the way it controls itself feels like a real driver is there. This time Narciso, and Daryn were the ones helping me, and they were so nice, explaining everything in detail. I felt so happy. The first time I went, Henna was there she wasn't that good or polite but this time the team made it wonderful. Thanks for the amazing experience here in Vegas! read more

Was a good experience. Give yourself some time for pick up. Will be taking these when I'm in Vegas!

We got to try this out and it's brilliant. The drive was smooth and the inside was comfortable. Being able to control the radio and temperature was a bonus. Just add a few more stops and it will be perfect. read more

Do not waste your time. This company is terrible. The wait time says 45mins+ in reality it's an hour before they give you a real wait time. We waited an hour the app then gave us a 28min wait time with a car we could track. It then cancelled our reservation for no reason talking with customer service they were zero help and just recommended us requesting another ride with an hour plus wait time. read more

Was looking forward to trying it, brand new interesting fun service being promoted relentlessly in LV. They advertise open from 11am-1am, but then today they abruptly stop service before 7pm and basically shrug their shoulders and say, welp that's how it goes. First rule of a transit service--be reliable. Second rule--BE RELIABLE. Failure. Do better. read more

Why is there a 45+ minute wait time when there are so many ZOOX vehicles around that are always empty!! We still had 18 minutes left to wait on our ride and it was cancelled moments later. it stated that we had missed our ride, yet it was still telling us to wait for our ride... we were excited and then let down... read more

It is horrible - the app tells you it is an estimate 40 minute wait and it takes 2 hours. They should be honest even if it is free and not waste people's times read more

Easy app, little to no wait. A great experience and will definitely be using again on my next Vegas trip!

ZOOX needs to go down. It's a corrupt company trying to seem cooler than it is. Their technology is lacking. You thought it was driving itself? You're wrong. You think they're safe? You're wrong. You think it would be a good company to work for? You're wrong. Toxic all the way around. Everyone there is fake. There is toxic competition, and the company purposely creates that hostility. Not to mention all the accidents... they're going to kill someone eventually. read more

Only picks up in 6 locations so unless you are at 1 or the 6 spread out locations you will be walking. Stick to Uber or Lyft. ZOOX is trash.
