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.

Kids will enjoy Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Fountains of Bellagio. Take a break from Las Vegas with a short trip to Hoover Dam in Boulder City, about 50 minutes away. There's still lots to do: shop like a local with The Strip, get curious at DISCOVERY Children's Museum, get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, and head outdoors with Outdoor Activities.
