Combine a California journey with Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon for a broader Western USA vacation.
Start with the bright lights and unmistakable energy of Las Vegas. Enjoy the Strip, resort districts, dining, entertainment and free time before heading into the desert landscapes beyond the city.
The Grand Canyon is the natural centerpiece of the journey. Allow enough time for major viewpoints, changing light and the scale of the landscape rather than treating it as only a quick photo stop.
Add Hoover Dam as part of the journey between Las Vegas and the surrounding Southwest. Its dramatic setting makes it a strong contrast to both the city and canyon landscapes.
Step away from the Strip for desert scenery, colorful rock formations and a quieter side of southern Nevada. It works well as a shorter nature-focused addition to a Las Vegas stay.
Add a touch of classic American road-trip culture with selected Route 66 stops when the itinerary and direction of travel make sense.
For travelers seeking a more adventurous Arizona extension, Havasu Falls can be considered separately. It requires significantly more advance planning than a standard Grand Canyon sightseeing visit and should only be added when access and arrangements suit your dates.

Spend a full day experiencing Las Vegas at your own pace. Explore the major resort areas, famous landmarks, dining, shopping and entertainment before enjoying another evening among the lights of the Strip.
Leave the city behind for a change of scenery at Red Rock Canyon. Enjoy the desert landscape and distinctive rock formations before returning to Las Vegas for free time, dinner or evening entertainment.
