A little while ago we received a voucher in the mail for 3 free nights at a Las Vegas resort that we had stayed at during a previous trip to Las Vegas. We figured that since we had the weekend free then we would take Tuesday off and head down to Las Vegas for Memorial Day weekend. It was nice to go somewhere just the 2 of us. We had a lot of fun stuff planned for the trip that wasn’t the typical “Vegas” stuff to do. Sunday morning we got some breakfast and headed out to Red Rock Canyon for a hike. We heard that was pretty cool from some of the locals and we were sure glad we went. They had all sorts of trails and we found a great one!
At the end of the hike there was a little pond where we could cool off then we hiked up around the cliff to get a great view of downtown Las Vegas. We both agreed that next time we head to Vegas we’re doing more hikes at Red Rock Canyon!
After some rest we set out that evening and bought half priced tickets to go see a Cirque du Soleil show that we both wanted to see. It was amazing! Some of the stunts they do are absolutely mind boggling. Early Monday morning we headed off to see the Grand Canyon! It was something we just couldn’t miss and we had always wanted to go there. Although it was a longer drive we decided on the much more spectacular South Rim to visit rather than the West Rim and it was well worth it. We stopped and saw an IMAX movie all about the Grand Canyon while we were eating lunch then we entered the park and walked a 3 mile trail along the rim to really take it all in. It was gorgeous. Words don’t do it justice so we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
The entire trip was so much fun! We had a blast, made some good friends, and planned some really cool things we’re going to do next time we head down South. Are you in?
