Red Rock Canyon

Las Vegas is notorious for the glitz and glamour along The Strip.

The sandstone rock of the canyon is a striking red colour, and there is a 20-kilometre (13-mile) scenic drive that weaves its way through the canyon and which you can follow. Along the way, there are many spots where visitors with airfares to Las Vegas can park to enjoy expansive views and stretch their legs on hiking trails.
