We will venture into Las Vegas for an exciting tour of America's favorite playground. Downtown Las Vegas with the Fremont Street Experience is always a student favorite. 

We will drive and walk the "Strip" and explore many of the thrilling sites and attractions Vegas has to offer, from its glamorous casinos to its huge shopping facilities and roof top roller coasters.

 

We will visit the Rim of the Grand Canyon and learn about the natural history. We will grab our cameras and hike some of the rim trails around the Canyon's Rim to photograph the Colorado River, which rages through the Canyon's floor.

 

Our final day in Vegas will end with dinner and a Vegas Show.


There is so much to see in our time in Los Angeles and our tour will take us to some of the most famous sights. We will visit Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Santa Monica and Venice Beach, Hollywood Boulevard and Melrose Avenue (the best place in Los Angeles for fun fashions).

We will spend our last day LA day riding the thrilling rides and exploring the attractions offered by Disneyland.


 

FLIGHT INFORMATION

     This tour begins in Las Vegas (LAS) on Saturday.  We will meet students landing between 12pm and 5 pm. Those arriving earlier will have to wait- we prefer that you arrive within the time window though. If your planned flight lands after 5 PM, you will miss the begriming of the tour and dinner.

     The tour ends in Los Angeles (LAX) on Friday. Departures should be between 9 am-2pm.   If you depart earlier we will get you to the airport, but will not be able to assist you with check in.  Note that because you go to the airport 2 hours before departure earlier departures may miss breakfast.   If you depart later than 2 PM you risk getting stuck in Los Angeles on your own;  There will not be any chaperones left to assist you.

It is generally cheaper to buy 1 "multi city" round trip ticket than 2 one way tickets.  Kayak, Orbitz, expedia, travelocity, your local travel agency or we can can all arrange tickets to do this. Airfare is generally cheaper when purchased ahead of time.  Airline tickets are non-refundable, and should only be purchased after all permissions for travel have been obtained.
