6 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.

Get outdoors at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. For shopping fun, head to The Strip or The Forum Shops at Caesars. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Las Vegas: Clark County Heritage Museum (in Henderson), Boulder City (Boulder City/Hoover Dam Museum & Veteran's Memorial Park) and Spring Mountains Visitor Center (in Mount Charleston). There's still lots to do: admire the local landmark of Fountains of Bellagio, get interesting insight from Tours, admire the natural beauty at Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, and kick back and relax at Willow Beach.
