Excitement on the Strip
Known as the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas has a cornucopia of attractions to enjoy.
Catch legendary musicians in long-standing residencies. See mesmerising shows by world-famous performers, including Cirque du Soleil. Or if sports is more your thing, catch one of the many electrifying annual events, including the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Venture into the desert
For a completely different kind of thrill, head outside city limits to discover otherworldly landscapes. This subtropical hot desert climate is home to some truly incredible sights, including one of the seven wonders of the world…
It’s well worth doing a day trip to see the jaw-dropping Grand Canyon. Whether you hike, bike, drive or even opt for a mule ride, there are so many ways to take in the Grand Canyon views. This is a real bucket list trip and is certainly not to be missed.
