Fine Dining And Entertainment

If you like your vacations centered around top-rated restaurants, plan to spend your time along the Las Vegas Strip savoring the all-you-can-eat buffets and multi-course menus. Once you’ve filled up on great food and conversation, take in one of Las Vegas’ many entertaining shows.

Where to Dine

Outdoor Adventures And Explorations

There’s so much to do outside of the casinos, shopping, dining and flashing lights of the Las Vegas Strip. Take a Jeep tour, cycle through Red Rocks Canyon or splurge on a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon.

Located in neighboring Moapa Valley, the Valley of Fire State Park is filled with rock formations and ancient petroglyphs. Go on an early morning or late afternoon hike for the most stunning picture-perfect color palette.

Next, take to the water in a kayak on the Colorado River. Paddle by the Hoover Dam, then head downstream through the river canyon and stop for a hike at the natural desert hot springs. 

You could also journey to the desert terrain of Bootleg Canyon. At the top, strap into a paragliding harness to take off on a series of 50 mph downhill ziplines.

To pick up speed on your adventure vacation, rent a dune buggy for desert sand races. 

Slow it all down with a leisurely cruise of Lake Mead — the artificial lake created when the Hoover Dam stoppered up the Colorado River in the 1930s. Hop on a 19th-century Mississippi River paddleboat to take in the spectacular views.

Why not spend some or all of your Las Vegas trip basking by the pool, soaking in hot tubs and choosing from a full menu of luxurious spa options?
