11 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.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at The Strip and The Forum Shops at Caesars. Bring the kids along to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and The Neon Museum. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Las Vegas: Clark County Heritage Museum (in Henderson) and Hoover Dam (in Boulder City). There's still lots to do: examine the collection at The Mob Museum, ponder the design of Fountains of Bellagio, enjoy breathtaking views from Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck, and take an unforgettable tour with a helicopter tour.

In September, plan for daily highs up to 93°F, and evening lows to 71°F. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 7th (Sat) so you can travel back home.
