We
transfer to the Charlotte-Douglas
International Airport this morning for
our flight to Phoenix, Arizona. Upon
arriving in Phoenix, we’re met by
our deluxe motorcoach and begin
our journey to Las Vegas. The sights
along the way will be breathtaking!
Watch for the awe-inspiring red
rock formations as we make our
way north to the beautiful town of
Sedona, where we’ll spend our first
night. Sedona is located in the high
southwestern desert at the southern
end of Oak Creek Canyon. In addition
to being a popular site location for
western films and commercials, it is
also a center for contemporary and
traditional arts.
Day 2
OAK CREEK CANYON • GRAND
CANYON:
From Sedona, we travel
through Oak Creek Canyon and
Flagstaff to make our way to the
Grand Canyon. We travel through
spectacular red cliffs, stands of aspen,
cedar and oak, and abundant
wildflowers to reach the South Rim,
which is 7000 feet above sea level.
Here, the canyon is a flat mile to the
bottom. One of the most spectacular
examples of erosion anywhere in the
world, Grand Canyon is unmatched
in the incomparable vistas it offers to
visitors on the Rim. Enjoy the sights of
this natural wonder with its exceptional
views and photo opportunities!
Day 3
LAS VEGAS:
Today we’ll set our
sights on a wonder of a different
type: Las Vegas, Nevada. We’ll spend
the next two nights in the city that by
its name alone summons images of
neon lights and elaborate hotels and
casinos!
Day 4
LAS VEGAS • HOOVER DAM •
OPTIONAL EVENING JEEP TOUR:
This morning we travel to Boulder City,
Nevada, where we tour Hoover Dam.
Take an elevator deep into the heart
of the dam to learn about the process
of construction and to see the massive
turbines that provide power for
millions of people. It is truly one of the
world’s great engineering wonders.
The rest of the day you are on your
own to explore and experience Las
Vegas, Nevada’s largest city, at your
leisure. Walk or ride down the famous
“Strip,” lined from one end to the
other with glittering hotels, night clubs,
and casinos. Just when you think
you’ve seen it all, darkness falls and it
becomes a whole new place.
Day 5
LAS VEGAS • HOME:
Our vacation
of wonders, both natural and manmade,
comes to an end today as we
board our flight back to Charlotte.
