Las Vegas, from the Strip to the Grand Canyon
Las Vegas shines in the middle of the Nevada desert. On the Strip, themed resorts, fountains and neon signs create a backdrop that changes as night falls.
Casinos, shows, rooftop bars and the old downtown of Fremont Street fill your evenings. By day, the city makes a base for exploring the great landscapes of the American West.
The trip to Grand Canyon West, with a stop at Hoover Dam and access to the Skywalk, ranks among the most striking tours from Las Vegas. You go from neon lights to red rock cliffs in a single day.
