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 Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens. Get out of town with these interesting Las Vegas side-trips: Clark County Heritage Museum (in Henderson) and Hoover Dam (in Boulder City). The adventure continues: ponder the design of Fountains of Bellagio, enjoy breathtaking views from High Roller, take a stroll through The Strip, and examine the collection at The Mob Museum.
