 Las
Vegas Know-It-All travel agent Sarah
Cheetham from Flight Centre Port Melbourne came back from her
second trip to Las Vegas last November.
Sarah thinks Las Vegas was even better the second time as “it
is definitely a destination you can go back to again and again”.
One of her favourite things was the view from the Ghost Bar at Palms
“the outdoor deck has breathtaking views over the city lights
of Las Vegas – and you can sip a cocktail at the same time!”
she says
There are over 500 “Las Vegas Know-It-All”

 There’s
more to Las Vegas than neon lights and monolithic hotels. The city
is a gateway to a wide range of scenic attractions and adventure
activities. Here are just some day trip options:
Grand Canyon: Only a half-day drive or one-hour
flight away, Las Vegas is the ultimate base for anyone wanting to
take in the grandeur of one of the world’s natural wonders.
Hoover Dam: If anything can make a Las Vegas resort
look small, it is the majestic Hoover Dam. This engineering marvel
is just 60 kilometres southeast of Las Vegas on the Nevada/Arizona
border making it an easy drive from the neon city.
Lake Mead and Boulder City: Lake Mead is North
America’s largest man-made lake and only 40 kilometres from
Las Vegas, at its closet point. 880 kilometres of shoreline provide
year-round opportunities for swimming, waterskiing, camping and
fishing.
Red Rock Canyon: Just 24 kilometres west of
Las Vegas lies the stunning Red Rock Canyon, named for the striking
red sandstone formations.
From helicopter to hummers, paddlewheel boats to Pink Jeeps. Click
