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.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge and The LINQ Promenade. Get some cultural insight at The Strip and Pinball Hall of Fame. Get out of town with these interesting Las Vegas side-trips: Laughlin (Preferred Outlets at Laughlin, Davis Dam, &more) and Virgin Valley Heritage Museum (in Mesquite). There's much more to do: explore the stunning scenery at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, stop by SWAG Antiques, explore the striking landscape at Elephant Rock, and examine the collection at The Mob Museum.

Expect a daytime high around 82°F in October, and nighttime lows around 60°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 20th (Tue) early enough to travel back home.
