You're in Vegas, baby! And the city's weird & wonderful charm isn't going to uncover itself. This morning, you can choose to head out in the Mojave Desert on an ATV! And in the evening, experience the grandeur of the city's opulent casinos as we stroll down the strip and dance the night away. It's the perfect way to bond with your Contiki family, Vegas style.
Las Vegas to The Grand Canyon
Today we'll leave the glittering lights of Vegas behind for something even more jaw-dropping.
