Specific places. A workable pace.
Made for: Couples and friends who enjoy food, entertainment, design, and a little desert scenery.

Official details, current price & reservations ↗Prices and source links reviewed October 21, 2026. USD is the local currency used in this guide; no exchange-rate conversion is assumed.
Booking order: Confirm dated admission or tour availability first, then coordinate refundable lodging and restaurant reservations. For multi-day theme-park trips, price the actual multi-day ticket rather than multiplying one-day fares.
Illustrative budgets exclude gambling and are not live room or show quotes. Resort fees, parking, taxes, and event-date premiums can materially increase costs. Red Rock Canyon has seasonal timed-entry requirements and no public transit access; check BLM guidance before traveling.
Check the official links for current hours, closures, accessibility and cancellation terms. Weather, maintenance and seasonal schedules can change the route.
