Lions of the Desert

Robb Report’s inaugural Dream Machines event introduced attendees to the super SUVs that rule the roads, and the off roads.

It’s difficult to imagine a journey with greater juxtaposition than one between Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, yet the locations offer similar sensory overload as they tap into our craving for adventure and freedom.

Recently, the first Robb Report Dream Machines event was attended by 32 of our RR1 private club members in search of both. With the Aria Resort & Casino as base camp, and where evenings were spent dining with chefs Michael Mina and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, we drove roughly 270 miles to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park and back while field-testing eight of the top SUVs on the market. Along the way, they revealed their own dual nature of comfort and all-terrain capability.
