8 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.

Take a break from the city and head to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Adrenaline & Extreme Tours. Shop till you drop at The Strip and The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort. Change things up with these side-trips from Las Vegas: Clark County Heritage Museum (in Henderson), Willow Beach (in Fort Mohave) and Boulder City (Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum, Winged Figures of the Republic Statues, &more). There's much more to do: examine the collection at The Mob Museum, get engrossed in the history at Titanic, try to win big at Bellagio Hotel and Casino, and admire the masterpieces at Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art.
