Charleston and Lee Canyon, Hoover Dam, of course--Take the tour. If you have the time: Death Valley--eat at and look around the Furnace Creek Inn, Scotty's Castle, etc. And in Utah: Zion Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument and the surrounding plateau (it's over 9000' above sea level), drive up to Brain Head Peak--about 12,000'--nice views, and Bryce Canyon National Park. Allow 1 day each for the Death Valley and Utah trips. I suggest leaving at First Light to maximize your time. Stef |

Hi If you want to do something completely "different", you could always go and look at the US Nevada Nuclear test site. You can find tour dates at http://www.nv.doe.gov/nts/tours.htm. Don't forget to pack your lead underwear though. 8^) Quite seriously, this is one tour from Las Vegas that my wife and I would like to take, but unfortunately the available dates never seem to coincide with our frequent vacations to that part of the world. We did once visit Trinity Ground Zero (site of the World's first atomic explosion) in New Mexico and found that quite fascinating and very thought provoking, but rather bizarrely, it was quite difficult to get to the monument commemorating the blast due to coachloads of grinning Japanese tourists all wanting to have their photo taken at the actual "epicentre". Very strange!!!!!! Regards KGB |
