Tour Information
Las Vegas
3 nights' accommodation at Excalibur Hotel Get comfortable in your central 'Strip' hotel and then it's time to explore! Get a unique, bird's-eye view of 'The Strip' with an exhilarating night helicopter trip over the dazzling, lit-up sights (you can pre-book this with our team before you leave the UK). See the Bellagio fountains, a replica of Paris's Eiffel Tower, Luxor's famous beam of light and New York, New York's Brooklyn Bridge and famous roller coaster - all lit up, from the air! Avoid disappointment by pre-booking tickets to see popular shows like Cirque du Soleil - they get booked up so quickly that if you leave it till you get there, you might miss out.
Las Vegas - Grand Canyon
2 nights' accommodation at Grand Canyon National Park Lodges Enjoy the stark, desert landscapes as you journey from Las Vegas to the famed Grand Canyon, where you'll be staying just a short walk from the South Rim. Don't forget to pre-book your walking tour of the mile-deep canyon! Or pre-book a helicopter trip of a lifetime, where you'll soar over the rich red walls of this dramatic natural feature and dip down into the crevice. Feeling daring? Perhaps you want to walk around the newest tourist attraction, the Grand Canyon SkyWalk - where you stare straight through very toughened glass a mile down to the bottom of the canyon. It may be safe as houses (it could even hold the weight of a house!), but that doesn't mean it isn't utterly terrifying.
Grand Canyon - Lake Powell
2 nights' accommodation at Lake Powell Resort Discover the breathtaking natural landscapes of Lake Powell. A natural oasis in a sea of desert, this bright blue lake is more than 400ft deep, 150 miles long and surrounded by dramatic red canyons and towering rock formations. Enjoy a wide selection of water sports by day and the brightest stars you've ever seen at night.
Lake Powell - Monument Valley
1 night's accommodation at Holiday Inn Kayenta Today you'll journey onwards to another dramatic natural phenomenon, the staggering beauty of Monument Valley with its plethora of huge red buttes. Here you'll discover an ancient Navajo Indian reservation and starkly beautiful scenery that provides photo opportunities around every corner.
Monument Valley - Bryce Canyon
2 nights' accommodation at Best Western Rubys Inn Journey further into Utah today through arid desert on your way to the dramatic rock formations of Bryce Canyon. These sculptured rocks were created by powerful forces of nature over millions of years. See the Pink Cliffs, wondrous hoodoos - spires, pinnacles and points of multicoloured rocks, and the natural amphitheatre that's been carved out of the surrounding stones. Enjoy horse riding during the day and star gazing at night.
Bryce Canyon - Zion Park
2 nights' at Best Western Zion Park Inn In Utah's oldest national park, the Virgin River (no we didn't make that up!) has carved amazing shapes out of the native sandstone, creating incredible scenery which you can explore over a series of gentle or more challenging hikes. Riverside Walk, Angels Landing and the Zion Narrows are just a few of the breathtaking sights to look out for. Beware when walking through the slot canyons - you may get wet!
Zion Park - Las Vegas
2 nights' at Luxor Hotel After the wonders of southwestern USA's most spectacular natural scenery, it's back to the glamourous, man-made world of Las Vegas where, as the advert says, what happens there, stays there. And believe us, almost anything can and will happen. Dine at the top of a half-size replica Eiffel Tower, experience G-force and weightlessness on the terrifying rides at the top of the Stratosphere Tower, shop till you drop at one of the amazing shopping malls - Forum at Caesars, Fashion Show, Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian or the excellent Premium Outlet Mall a little way from 'The Strip'. If you missed out on any activities, shows or excursions at the beginning of your trip, now's the time to catch up. Or, perhaps you just want to relax, in which case, you can enjoy a luxury spa treatment at Luxor's pampering day spa.
