(Part) Day trips from LV

Hi everyone,

This is our 1st time in LV and the US. And we would like to see as much as possible. Can you suggest interesting day trips from LV? Either by bus / tour or renting a car.

We are already planning on doing the Grand Canyon via Hoover Dam and Lake Mead by bus (1 day).

Any other suggestions for day trips? To see ';typical'; (= touristy) sights.

Thanks in advance.

(Part) Day trips from LV

Haven%26#39;t been yet but have been thinking of doing a trip to Zion National Park (2-3 hours from Vegas). Good hikes and views. From there it is two hours to Grand Canyon North Rim or Bryce Canyon. Both supposed to be great and some scenic roads to travel there.

(Part) Day trips from LV

Hi

If you rent a car you can get to Death Valley on a day trip, leave early and be back by dinner. On the way into the Valley you can also visit the ghost town of Rhyolite.

In the other direction you can go to Laughlin about 1.30hr from Vegas, a small gambling town on the Colorado river and a short drive from there you can visit the old west town of Oatman with midday gun fights and wild burros roaming the streets (very friendly and want you to feed them carrots!)

Any other Ghost towns?

Direct to Bryce Canyon takes how long? Is it different from the Grand Canyon? and worth (given the limited time in LV) taking the day to visit it?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi

We have been to Zion and we actually liked it better than the Grand Canyon, Bryce is a further 1.30hr past Zion.

If you go to Zion you could also visit the Valley of Fire, that is a really nice place,very interesting.
