Zoox offering updated Las Vegas service area, vehicles and operating hours

Zoox is expanding its robotaxi service into downtown Las Vegas while introducing updated vehicles and operating hours in Southern Nevada.

Riders will now be able to book rides for locations in downtown Las Vegas and the Arts District, the Amazon-owned company announced Thursday.

Additionally, Zoox is rolling out updated vehicles that feature a lighter interior and added comfort and increasing its service hours to between 6 a.m. and 3 a.m., daily.

“The autonomous vehicle industry has made remarkable strides this year, bringing us closer to a future of safer, more accessible mobility,” Aicha Evans, CEO of Zoox said in a statement. “Las Vegas is a city famous for unforgettable moments, and it is the ideal location for our debut. Zoox is about transforming the entire ride-hailing experience, making every ride a delightful experience.”

Zoox has been offering rides in Las Vegas since September 2025 and launched paid rides in August. Zoox’s service is available at various locations including Harry Reid International Airport, Sphere, Area15, and multiple resorts on the Strip.

Starting in 2027, Zoox will begin offering rides to and from the Las Vegas Grand Prix in its role as the race’s official ride-hailing partner.

Zoox robotaxis are four-seater pods with carriage style seating, with two seats on each side facing each other. The purpose-built vehicles are bi-directional and reach speeds of up to 75 mph. Passengers can charge their phones inside the vehicles and control the temperature and music from touch screens within the robotaxi.

Zoox has been operating in Southern Nevada since 2019, based out of a 190,000-square-foot headquarters in the southwest valley. The company initially carried out test rides to collect data ahead of its public rides launch last year.

Between its operations in Las Vegas and San Francisco, Zoox recently surpassed 1 million riders.
