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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at The LINQ Promenade and Spring Mountains Visitor Center. Escape the urban bustle at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Waterskiing & Jetskiing. Explore Las Vegas' surroundings by going to Helicopter Tours (in Henderson) and Veteran's Memorial Park (in Boulder City). The adventure continues: shop like a local with The Strip, have fun at Gun Garage, identify plant and animal life at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and see the interesting displays at Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum.
