Discover two of America’s most famous cities and experience the awe-inspiring chasm that is perhaps nature’s greatest wonder.
Las Vegas
Grand Canyon Day One – Fly to Los Angeles Fly to California’s largest city, meet your tour manager and make the short transfer to your hotel in Southern LA by coach. Rest and relax after the journey, and enjoy the first of three evenings in the City of Angels, seeking out the lively bars and restaurants. Day Two – Included visit to San Diego Join today’s excursion to the laid-back Pacific city of San Diego, the epitome of Southern California living. Here, the highlights of your guided tour will include the restored Downtown area, the historic Santa Fe Railroad Depot, and the Gaslamp District’s wonderful collection of arts and crafts stores, specialist boutiques and restaurants. You’ll return to LA to spend a second evening enjoying the warmth and excitement of the city.
Day Three – Included Santa Monica and
Hollywood tour Today you’ll have the opportunity to discover Santa Monica’s ocean-front boardwalk, the pier and Ferris wheel, and take advantage of the exceptional shopping on Third Street Promenade. Take a seat in a beachfront café to watch LA life as it jogs, cycles or skates its healthobsessed way down towards Venice Beach. From here, you’ll head to Hollywood, the heart of the modern movie industry, to look for your favourite star’s star on Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame. Return to your hotel in the evening where you’ll have time to take it easy. Day Four – Travel to the Grand Canyon An exciting day awaits as you’ll journey east into the depths of the sprawling Nevada Desert, heading for the spectacular Grand Canyon, close to which you’ll spend the night.

Hollywood, Los Angeles Los Angeles Grand Canyon
Day Five – Watch the sun rise over the Grand
Canyon Wake early, this morning, to witness the breathtaking sight as the sun rises over the Grand Canyon – a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River and one of nature’s most unforgettable sights. Later, perhaps take an optional helicopter flight over the chasm to marvel at the almost incomprehensible vastness of it all. You’ll then continue through the awe-inspiring desert landscape, to dazzling Las Vegas, your base for the next four nights. Once you’re here, waste no time familiarising yourself with your glittering, neon-lit surroundings – every bit as surreal as the Canyon’s glories. You’ll return to your hotel in the evening to relax after a day of exploring.
Days Six to Eight – At leisure in Las Vegas
Spend three days discovering glittering, glorious Las Vegas and some of the extraordinary places that lie on its Nevada Desert doorstep. Nothing prepares you for the glitz, glamour and sheer scale of this monument to man’s capacity for fun that seems to rise out of the desert floor. Get ready to be blown away by its towering hotels and gargantuan casinos reaching skywards, its streets – including the famous Strip – lined with colourful entertainment centres, stores, themed bars, and show lounges that have played host to generations of the entertainment industry’s most famous names. Spend your days relaxing, checking out the city’s shopping malls or even heading for one of the resort’s many golf courses for a round. Come sundown, you can try your luck – or watch others trying theirs – in a sparkling, state-of-theart casino where you’ll find no end to the ways you can try your hand against Lady Luck. In the evening, you can wander up and down the Strip to see this unique place in all its colourful glory. Make sure you see the amazing displays of the Bellagio Hotel’s iconic dancing fountains and enjoy the special-effects-laden spectacle of a swashbuckling pirate adventure at Treasure Island. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you can also take to the skies on an optional night-time helicopter ride over the Strip and view the city from above. Day Nine – Return to LA to fly home Bid farewell to Vegas, heading back to LA and the airport to check in for your overnight flight home. Day 10 – Arrive home Arrive back in the UK this morning at the end of an exciting West Coast USA adventure.
