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 visit kid-friendly attractions like The Strip and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like The Mob Museum and Titanic. Change things up with these side-trips from Las Vegas: Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge (in Amargosa Valley), Spring Mountains Visitor Center (in Mount Charleston) and Valley of Fire State Park (in Overton). There's lots more to do: take in breathtaking views at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, ponder the design of Fountains of Bellagio, admire the natural beauty at Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, and take a spin around town with Escape Adventures.
