5 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.

Get in touch with nature at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Willow Beach. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at River Rafting & Tubing and The LINQ Promenade. Step out of Las Vegas to go to Henderson and see Helicopter Tours, which is approximately 32 minutes away. Next up on the itinerary: shop like a local with The Strip, enjoy some diversion at Battlefield Vegas, examine the collection at Shelby American Inc, and take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Charleston.
