Random Walks - Las Vegas & Zion
Overview |
 |
Itinerary Description |
Why go international when you can experience the unforgettable views in Zion National Park and enjoy the unforgettable nightlife of Las Vegas right here in the USA? Begin your adventure by arriving in Las Vegas before transferring via a coach bus to Springdale, UT for three nights, right outside of Zion National Park. Enjoy your first of many adventures by hiking through the park to explore all of its beauty. You’ll then continue your sightseeing by taking a Jeep Tour of Bryce Canyon and a short hike in Valley of Fire State Park before returning to Las Vegas on the fourth night. Your hotel will be located on the Las Vegas Strip to ensure you are in the middle of the action of the lights and glamour of the city. You’ll have a day to enjoy the pool at your hotel and have the opportunity to attend the much talked about Sphere Experience. You’ll enjoy a little more time outside the Las Vegas Strip, with a kayaking adventure through the Emerald Coves and a trip to Las Vegas wouldn’t be complete without a Cirque Du Soleil show – so don’t worry, we didn’t forget to include one. This will take place on the final night of your trip. If you feel the need to balance adventure and activities with a great deal of nightlife, this trip is the one for you! |
