Las Vegas

United States (Nevada)

"Entertainment Capital of the World"

Las Vegas rises out of the Mojave Desert as a neon strip of themed resorts, casinos, and pools. Beyond gaming, the draw is entertainment: Cirque du Soleil productions, residencies, the Sphere, and some of the country's best-known chefs. Fremont Street keeps old Vegas alive downtown. Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Valley of Fire are easy day trips, and the Grand Canyon is reachable by helicopter or a long drive. Resort fees and show prices add up quickly, so budget carefully.

March–May & October–November

Watch for resort and parking fees; walk the Strip at night but taxi in summer heat; book shows midweek for better prices

Easy sell for celebrations, groups, and weekend getaways. Add a Grand Canyon or Zion extension for a bigger trip.
