(Part 2) 2 weeks in Los Angeles (LA), Las Vegas (LV) and San Francisco (SF) for less than SGD5,500 each

Day 6
Depart Los Angeles and drove all the way to Las Vegas.

Ghost Town Road?!?!?!?!?!
Seven magic mountains - Desert art installation featuring 7 painted boulder totems up to 35 ft. high



Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area





This is the reason why we choose to drive instead of taking a flight to Las Vegas (LV).
Before reaching LV, it is recommended to go to Red Rock Canyon. There is this Red rock scenic loop (13 miles) where you get to see beautiful view :D
If you are more adventure, you can do hiking here too.

Cost: USD15/car


Return Car Rental
As LV is very accessible by bus  + Monorail, parking is super duper expensive and the most famous location is all located along "The Strip" (similar to Singapore Orchard Road), thus we will not be driving in LV.


Vdara Hotel



Vdara is located right in the middle of The Strip (Behind Bellagio with linked walkway access between them).

There are around 25 hotels in Vegas under MGM Resorts International Group. So it is quite rare you will see wild price war among the hotel there.

Cost: SGD713 for 4 nights

Recommendation
- Plan early for your trip and avoid their peak period
- Sign up for their Mlife Rewards member where you can receive up to 20% room rate discount (Membership is free)

The Strip
 


All the expensive hotel are located along The Strip.
The Strip is similar to Singapore Orchard Road.
Hotel with nice architecture include Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas, The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, The Venetian, New York New York and etc.


High Roller 

High Roller is the world's tallest ferris wheel.
As we are not really interested in ferris wheel, thus we did not buy ticket for the ride.


Guy Fieri Burger 


Must try - The best burger i ever eaten!!!!!!!!!!
I feel this is better than Gordon Ramsay Burger.
If budget is tight, you can try In-N-Out hamburgers / Shake Shack

You can find tons and tons of M&M's related items over here
