Settle into your hotel, grab a light lunch, then ease into Las Vegas with Strip walk at night — Bellagio fountains. Don't overbook day one — jet lag is real.
Cirque du Soleil show. Pair it with a sit-down lunch nearby and an evening walk through a different neighbourhood.
Day trip to Grand Canyon West. Take the morning slow and use the afternoon to explore a quieter district away from the tourist core.
Red Rock Canyon hike. Pair with a long lunch — Skip casino buffets — most are mediocre now. Real food is off-Strip in Chinatown (Spring Mountain Rd).
Fremont Street Old Vegas. This day usually involves a longer journey so start early.
Revisit Strip walk at night or spend the morning at a café in a quieter neighbourhood. The best travel days are often the unscheduled ones.
