Nice things to do/stay on the way to Vegas?
Yahoo Message Number: 48344
Hi All,
 We are taking a leisurely trip to Las Vegas in a week and a half and are looking for neat things to do and places to stay on the way and way back from the S.F. bay area.  Ideally we would like to find areas with local interest, good restaurants, places to hike or bike and places to stay for 1-2 days.  We can vary our route subject to the weather.

We have been told that Red Rock Canyon is nice.  Any other ideas would be appreciated.

thanks!

Mike, Valley of Fire SP, NorthEast of Las Vegas, is a fun place to camp, hike, explore -- you can snuggle right into some lovely rock amphitheaters, surrounded by beautiful beehive and red rock formations and feel like you're in a Western movie hiding out from the bad guys! A very different style of campground -- it's hilly.   Best to find your spot in daylight hours though -- that feathery looking stuff isn't ... and can leave some dastardly scratches on that shiny red LD of yours.
 Are "WE" by any chance, also going to be stopping by one of those cute Las Vegas wedding chapels?  Are congratulations in order?  Inquiring minds want to know, you rascal you!!

 Another great area is Valley of Fire State Park east of Las Vegas off I-15.
Beautiful area!

If you have never seen the Grand Canyon, it IS worth the drive, even though it's past your destination. I scold anyone who passes through the area but doesn't stop there.
