Days 1 to 3
Las Vegas
Upon arrival in Las Vegas, a private transfer will take you to ARIA Resort & Casino, one of the most luxurious hotels on the city’s famous Strip. Rising from the desert like a neon oasis, Las Vegas is home to the world’s largest casinos, most flamboyant floor shows, and such eclectic attractions as the X-Scream rollercoaster (the third highest in the world) and a permanent exhibition of Lady Gaga’s wardrobe. Take it all in during a three-night stay.

Days 4 to 5
Grand Canyon National Park
Collect your hire car and make the scenic drive to El Tovar Hotel, an historic lodge perched dramatically on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. There are numerous ways to take in the splendour of perhaps nature’s greatest wonder. Hike to the bottom of the canyon floor, book a rafting trip on the Colorado River, or soar above it all on a helicopter tour.

Days 6 to 7
Sedona
Drive to Sedona and check into the Enchantment Resort for a two-night stay. Famous for its huge sandstone rock formations, which blaze red and orange in the fiery desert sun, Sedona is a mecca for outdoor activities, with everything on offer from horseback tours and private jeep safaris to mountain biking, hiking and three championship golf courses. For souvenirs, we recommend a visit to Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, styled after a traditional Mexican village.
