My boyfriend and i are from Australia and we are travelling to California and Nevada for a month in December. We are going to Las Vagas for a couple of days and were wondering, apart from the Grand Canyon, what other day trips or road trips should we do?

Red Rock Canyon
Lake Meade
Valley of Fire
Look them up in the text search,this question is asked about once a week.

Valley Of Fire

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is about 20 miles north west of Las Vegas and makes a beautiful day trip.

Valley of Fire State Park in about 75 miles from Las Vegas and will also make a beautiful day trip.

A 370 mile round trip from Las Vegas would be to take Hwy 93 down to Kingman to explore Historic Route 66. Take route 66 to Oatman, AZ a cute old living ghost town, then take Hwy 95 down to Lake Havasu to see the London Bridge and come back to Vegas via Laughlin, NV.

Zion National Park can be done as a day trip at 360 miles round trip, but I would suggest doing this as a road trip and include Bryce National Park and a drive on scenic Hwy 12 to Boulder, Utah and back. I would recommend spending the night in Springdale, Utah just outside of Zion. If you have time make a side trip to Glen Canyon Recreational Area near Page, AZ. This is beautiful Lake Powell and has the most beautiful BLUE water.

Brooke--

You should know that Grand Canyon would be a LONG day trip from Las Vegas. It took us a little over 4 hours to do the drive, one-way. So you should probably plan on staying over near the canyon, rather than trying to go to the Canyon and back in one day. Enjoy your trip!

LAS VAGAS? Is this in Australia?

It can't be a typo repeated twice?
