Description

Itinerary:
Day 1:Los Angeles – Las Vegas
Las Vegas, it’s a city that has something to offer for everyone. The infamous Las Vegas Strip is where tourists can enjoy a walk in the warm desert evening and visit the newest and most lavish casinos from Bellagio, Venetian, MGM Grand, The Mirage, and more. Or perhaps take a stroll downtown and view a dazzling light show that spans an entire street (Optional night tour). There are special shows and performances year round that truly makes Las Vegas as a city that never sleeps. Accommodations will be at the Excalibur Hotel & Casino, named for the mythical sword of King Arthur. Immerse yourself in the castle themed resort right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. Choose from one of the many eateries on the property, including the Roundtable Buffet, or head down the Strip and stop by one of the other world famous hotels. Overnight stay in Las Vegas.
Hotel: Excalibur Hotel and Casino or similar

Day 2: Las Vegas – Lake Powell – Antelope Canyon – Page
Depart Page in the morning and visit Lake Powell, a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona. It is the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States behind Lake Mead, storing 24,322,000 acre feet (30 km³) of water when full. We may have a chance to take an optional cruise on the scenic Lake in the morning. We will continue to visit Antelope Canyon. The canyon is know as a slot canyon in which rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, as the water rushes into the narrow passageways, over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and into what you would experience today.
Hotel: Quality Inn at Lake Powell or similar

Day 3: Page – Monument Valley – Page
Today we will visit one of the most photographed scenic wonders in the US— Monument Valley Indian Tribal Park (Monument Valley). The beauty of the classic American West landscape will take your breath away. On vast expanse of desert , stand countless red sandstone monoliths in shape of mesa, butte and spire. The valley has been the filming site for many western movies, from “Stage Coach” to “Forrest Gump”. The wild image of unruly cowboy riding a galloping horse and the plangent sound of Native American flute touch the heart of every moviegoer. You may have a chance to take the optional jeep ride to see all the famous scenes led by the Navajo Indians.

Day 4:Page – Grand Canyon National Park – Las Vegas
Today we will visit the Grand Canyon—–one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Arriving at Desert View Watchtower, modeled after an Ancient Pueblo’s watchtower, it offers breathtaking shots and awe-inspiring views beyond imagination. You can glimpse into the canyon walls that represent 2 billion years of geological history. The mighty Colorado River meanders and cut into the canyon measuring 277 miles long. Continue to Mather Point where the splendor of the Grand Canyon unfolds in the most amazing way with 10 miles wide, and 1 mile deep canyon. On the way to Las Vegas, we will drive through Seligman, one of the best preserved sections of Route 66. It is known as Main Street of America and Mother Road, you’ll get a feel for the old good days and “get your kicks on Route 66”. We will arrive Las Vegas in the evening.
