About Atomic Trips

We create just 25 trips a year, so each one can be exceptional

Atomic Trips is a small team in Las Vegas. Where most group tours look for things to cut, we look for things to add: more budget, more planning and more thought in every detail.

Hand-picked hotels, menus shaped around the group, our own team traveling with you, and more than 120 touch points before you land. It is why we call them experiences, not trips.

What a week with us feels like

Not just a trip you take. A week that changes you.

Most group trips are simple: you go, you see the sights, you come home. Ours are designed for what happens between the sights.

DAY ONEYou arrive among strangersEverything is ready for you, so the nerves fade fast. You are met, settled and fed.
MIDWEEKThe laughing startsShared moments we design on purpose put you in unique, unforgettable situations together.
THE LAST NIGHTSThe real conversationsHeart-to-hearts over dinner. People you met days ago feel like lifelong friends.
GOING HOMETears at the airportYou leave calmer than you have felt in years, already planning the next trip together.

Meet the founders

Built on a lifelong goal of making an impact on the world around us

Husband and wife, business partners, and still the people you will see on the trip.

Sabrina ScottCo-founder · The builder

Sabrina began her career as a hospitality manager in Las Vegas, and fell in love with the art of travel while still in college, where she studied cultural anthropology and communication through graphics and technology.

Rather than follow a traditional path into the workforce, she chose entrepreneurship, where she could focus fully on what has always driven her: helping make the world a better place.

That started with Atomic Scooters. Working alongside Matt and the City of Las Vegas to secure an exclusive opportunity to bring e-scooters to the city, Sabrina built the company from its foundation: its technology, its systems and its marketing.

When Matt brought her the idea for Atomic Trips, Sabrina built it. She gave it its structure, its systems and its team, along with her commitment to making travel greener and more meaningful.

Matthew ScottCo-founder · The storyteller

Matt’s academic background is in historical and archaeological anthropology, a path that has taken him around the world on digs and fieldwork.

When Matt and Sabrina started Atomic Scooters, Matt led the guided tours. He built the tours, scouted the locations and told the stories that brought them to life. Guests loved them so much that they began asking him to take them on trips that sounded as good as the ones he described.

His love of traveling with his wife and his gift for guiding grew into Atomic Trips, almost on its own. Today, Matt is the backbone of our off-the-beaten-path destinations and the local vendors who make them special.

The team

A small team, by choice

We are a small team that keeps growing, and we intend to stay small. Atomic Trips is not meant to become a large travel company. We have found the balance that lets us do this work well, and as we grow, we grow with limits. We would rather keep every trip a unique, custom-built adventure that brings a community closer than oversell them.

Small enough that every trip gets our full attention.

How our trips are different

Not a standard group trip

Our trips are designed with a cultural emphasis and built as full-compass experiences: the history, the food, the people and the places, all woven together.

We travel with communities of like-minded people, and every trip is designed for bonding. The goal is that you come home having grown, with real friendships and a stronger sense of community.

Our story

Grown by the people who travel with us

Most of our growth has come the old-fashioned way, through word of mouth. Our travelers tell their friends, our hosts return with their communities, and many guests come back for the next trip. The experience does the talking for us.
