5 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.

Step out of Las Vegas with an excursion to Hoover Dam in Boulder City--about 50 minutes away. There's still lots to do: take in breathtaking views at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, get a taste of the local shopping with The Strip, see the world from above with a helicopter tour, and try your luck at Bellagio Hotel and Casino.

To find where to stay, photos, traveler tips, and tourist information, go to the Las Vegas trip site.

If you are flying in from Spain, the closest major aiports are McCarran International Airport and Laughlin Bullhead International Airport. In November, plan for daily highs up to 23°C, and evening lows to 9°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 24th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
