4 days in Las Vegas Itinerary

Nicknamed the "Entertainment Capital of the World," Las Vegas sits in the middle of a desert in the southern section of Nevada.

Visiting Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Waterskiing & Jetskiing will get you outdoors. Discover out-of-the-way places like Willow Beach and Counts Kustoms. Step out of Las Vegas with an excursion to Spring Mountains Visitor Center in Mount Charleston--about 38 minutes away. The adventure continues: make a trip to The Strip, ponder the design of Fountains of Bellagio, look for all kinds of wild species at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and examine the collection at Shelby American Inc.
