Step into Las Vegas nightlife with an optional VIP nightclub experience. Enjoy the club atmosphere, music and theatrical energy of a city known for nights out on a grand scale. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Las Vegas clubs pair elaborate lighting and performance with a dance-floor scene that draws visitors from around the world. It is a distinct way to experience the city beyond its casinos and illuminated boulevards.

Ride an ATV in the Mojave Desert for a closer encounter with the terrain beyond Las Vegas. The optional outing offers a more active way to experience the desert’s open spaces and rugged ground. It is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

The Mojave’s sparse vegetation and wide horizons contrast sharply with the city’s dense lights and resort skyline. Follow the activity provider’s instructions and requirements for a ride shaped by this distinctive desert environment.

Explore LA’s entertainment landmarks, from the palm-lined streets of Beverly Hills to the music history of the Sunset Strip. On the Hollywood Walk of Fame, look for familiar names among the stars set into the pavement.

These neighbourhoods reveal different sides of the city’s celebrity culture: grand residential streets, storied music venues and the public rituals of Hollywood fame. Bring a camera for the streetscapes and star-spotting.

Walk through Venice Beach, where the skate plaza, outdoor exercise areas and oceanfront promenade give this stretch of coast its distinctive character. Explore nearby Santa Monica and its landmark pier, with time to take in the Pacific shoreline.

The two neighbouring beach communities offer contrasting versions of coastal Los Angeles: Venice’s expressive street culture and Santa Monica’s classic seaside setting. Together, they make the city’s beach life as compelling as its Hollywood sights.

Wander the Original Farmers Market beside The Grove and browse food stalls run by local businesses. Choose a lunch that suits your appetite from the market’s wide range of counters; the visit is included, while food purchases are at your own expense.

Opened in 1934, the market grew from a gathering of produce sellers into a Los Angeles dining institution. Its open-air aisles offer a lively taste of the city’s many culinary influences.

Take in the spectacle of the Las Vegas Strip and stop for a photograph at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. Resort facades evoke landmarks from around the world, making the boulevard an architectural show as well as the city’s entertainment centre.

Created in 1959, the welcome sign has become an emblem of Las Vegas. The Strip’s outsized replicas, glowing signs and casino entrances show how the city turned theatrical reinvention into its signature style.

Experience Fremont Street’s nightly light show beneath the illuminated canopy of the Fremont Street Experience. Music and moving images fill the overhead screen, transforming a walk through downtown Las Vegas into a shared evening spectacle.

Fremont Street was the heart of Las Vegas before the Strip became its best-known address. Its historic casino signs and lively pedestrian setting provide a different perspective on the city’s neon heritage.

Travel a stretch of historic Route 66 through Arizona and pause for photographs along the way. The road’s signs and desert setting evoke the era when cross-country motorists followed this highway towards the American West.

Established in 1926, Route 66 became a powerful symbol of road travel and roadside enterprise. Its surviving sections offer a tangible link to the small towns and open landscapes that shaped that story.

Explore Grand Canyon National Park, with park entrance included, and take in viewpoints overlooking the vast gorge. Walk among exposed rock formations and gather with the group to watch sunset across the canyon, when changing light brings its layered walls into sharper relief.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the canyon records millions of years of geological history in its rock strata. For 2027 bookings, non-US residents must also pay a separate National Parks fee, added at booking and subject to change.

Visit Monument Valley Tribal Park to see the isolated sandstone buttes rising from its red desert floor. The landscape is familiar from Western films, but experiencing its scale in person reveals far more than a cinematic backdrop.

The park lies within the Navajo Nation and is part of a living Indigenous homeland. Its striking landforms and cultural setting offer a chance to consider both the valley’s enduring significance and the images that made it internationally recognisable.

Walk through historic Santa Fe and notice the earthen tones and adobe-inspired architecture that distinguish New Mexico’s capital. Browse local markets for turquoise jewellery and explore the streets at your own pace.

Santa Fe’s built environment and food traditions reflect Native American, Spanish and Mexican influences. Its low-slung buildings and sunlit public spaces make those intersecting histories visible in the everyday life of the city.

Visit Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo, where a row of Cadillacs stands nose-first in the Texas earth. Photograph the cars and their ever-changing layers of colourful paint against the open plains.

Created in 1974, this public art installation uses models from different years to play with the changing shape of the Cadillac’s tailfins. Its roadside setting makes it an unmistakably American meeting point of car culture and unconventional art.

Visit the Fort Worth Stockyards and watch a cattle drive through this historic district. Enjoy an included Texas BBQ dinner, with smoky, slow-cooked flavours and traditional sides.

Fort Worth grew as a centre of the cattle trade, and the Stockyards preserve a visible connection to that working past. The cattle drive brings its cowboy heritage into the present, while the barbecue offers a distinctly Texan way to share the evening.

Visit Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, the site of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963. See the public space and surrounding streets that remain central to understanding this event in American history.

The plaza is a National Historic Landmark District. Standing in the setting itself offers a grounded perspective on a moment often encountered through photographs and film; entry to the nearby Sixth Floor Museum is a separate optional experience.

Spend a day at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, choosing the rides, themed lands and entertainment that interest you most. This optional visit is at additional cost and bookable on tour, subject to ticket availability.

Opened in 1955, Disneyland was the original Disney theme park. Its carefully designed streets and attractions offer a different kind of Southern California experience: one built around storytelling, performance and immersive settings.

Visit the GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE to explore exhibitions devoted to recording artists, musical genres and the craft behind influential songs. This optional museum visit is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Located in a city closely tied to the music industry, the museum connects recordings with the people and creative processes behind them. Its displays offer context for how performers and producers have shaped popular music across generations.

See the Grand Canyon from a helicopter on an optional flight above its immense rock formations. The aerial perspective reveals the canyon’s breadth and the patterns cut into the plateau in a way ground-level viewpoints cannot. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

From above, bands of differently coloured rock trace the canyon’s long geological history. Flight routes and views depend on the operator and conditions, making each journey subject to operational and weather requirements.

Take to the water on an optional river rafting experience in Durango, trading roadside views for an active journey through Colorado’s outdoor landscape. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour, subject to local conditions.

Durango’s setting near the San Juan Mountains has made it a base for outdoor pursuits. Rafting brings the landscape into focus through the movement of the river, with the character of the trip shaped by water levels and the operator’s route.

Attempt the Big Texan Steak Challenge in Amarillo if you have the appetite for its famously oversized, timed meal. Watching is an option too. Taking part is at additional cost and bookable on tour; ask about the current challenge rules before committing.

The challenge turns a Texas steakhouse dinner into a piece of roadside theatre. Its outsized portions and one-hour deadline capture Amarillo’s playful approach to the state’s ‘bigger is better’ reputation.

Step inside The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza for a closer examination of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and its aftermath. This optional museum entry is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Housed in the former Texas School Book Depository, the museum uses historical displays to place the events of November 1963 in context. Its location overlooking Dealey Plaza gives the exhibits a direct connection to the site outside.
