7 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've added "O" by Cirque du Soleil, Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet, Fashion Show Mall, and other attractions to your itinerary. Museum-lovers will get to explore Don Laughlin's Classic Car Collection and Wayne Newton's Casa de Shenandoah. Take a break from the city and head to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Willow Beach. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Las Vegas: Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge (in Amargosa Valley) and Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area (in Henderson). There's lots more to do: get a taste of the local shopping with The Strip, examine the collection at The Mob Museum, browse the different shops at The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort, and make a trip to Stratosphere Tower.
