Whether you are a first time or returning visitor to Las Vegas, you might not realize how much there is to do outside of the Strip and Downtown. There are numerous places for you to experience that aren’t just casinos, clubs, and restaurants.

Our five best day trip recommendations for you to accomplish during your next Las Vegas vacation include the Seven Magic Mountains, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, Valley of Fire, Red Rock Canyon, and the Grand Canyon. You can spice up your social media with cool photos of you and your friends at the Seven Magic Mountains. Take your family for a drive or walk across the Hoover Dam where you can experience first-hand one of the largest man made dams in the world. Take your party lakeside by renting a boat out on Lake Mead. Drive and roam through the Valley of Fire as you take in some of the most extraordinary views of bright red Aztec Sandstone rocks. Stay local and hike at Red Rock Canyon, which is home to some of the most gorgeous fiery red grained sedimentary rock. Fly high in the sky with a two hour helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon, where you can partake in a private landing and explore. There is something out there for everyone to do and experience!

Want to see the city of Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon from a different perspective? Soar and enjoy panoramic views of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Mojave Desert as you make your way to the Grand Canyon. You will enjoy an exclusive landing and champagne toast as you overlook the canyon and the gorgeous Colorado River. Our helicopter tours to the Grand Canyon start at $469 per person, and the helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon from Vegas is approximately 45 minutes one-way.
