One thing I love about Las Vegas is the proximity to so many great road trip destinations. Whether you just have a weekend to explore or even longer, there are great options from as little as 2 hours away up to 5-6 hours away. (Anything beyond 6 hours in my opinion is where you might consider flying). Las Vegas is so great in that respect as you can get to multiple National Parks without having to change airports! You could do a several in one trip if you wish.
Beyond the National Parks there are many other amazing destinations. There are adventures for every age. We have plenty of places on our bucket list, so since moving here, we’ve been taking every advantage to explore one road trip at a time.
