VISIT OUR BRAND NEW GRAND CANYON DETAIL SECTION
With so many things to do, so nearby, Las Vegas is the ideal starting point
for many, many memorable adventures. From nearly a dozen State and National
Parks in Nevada alone, to hundreds of fun, educational, entertaining and
fascinating side trips for the whole family, you might want to consider adding
an extra day or two to your vacation just to see some of the sights!
Las Vegas' centralized location makes it a stepping off point to
Southern Utah (Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park), Arizona (Lake Havasu and
Grand Canyon) and even Southern California (Death Valley, Universal Studios and Disneyland).
Most of which are a mere day's drive away, returning in time for an evening
show or dinner.
While many Las Vegas attractions are within walking distance of the Strip and Downtown,
far more are an hour or more drive away. While the use of a
car is suggested
to enjoy the
attractions at your own pace and interest level, there are
inexpensive, organized Las Vegas tours
by professional tour guides to the most popular attractions. Where applicable we've also
included links to these services.
