why not have dinner in a jail cell at Cell Block Steak
House at the Jail House Casino Motel? We have
allowed you a full day to explore the area. Start by
riding the rails on Nevada Northern Railway, before
exploring the East Ely Railroad Depot museum.
Don’t miss out on a visit to Renaissance Village,
where homes built in 1908 have been restored to
portray different ethnic backgrounds.
Hotel: La Quinta Inn & Suites Ely
Days 12, 13 & 14 Las Vegas
In complete contrast to the small towns, quaint
villages and serene picture-postcard settings, today
brings you south to the entertainment capital of
the world – Las Vegas! You may choose to take
a slightly longer route and take the renowned
Extraterrestrial Highway, calling at the small town of
Rachel en route. Las Vegas is home to some of the
world’s best restaurants, theatre productions and of
course, bars and clubs.
Hotel: ARIA Resort & Casino
Day 15 Journey Home
Enjoy some last minute sightseeing or shopping
before heading back to Las Vegas International
Airport for your flight back to the UK.
Day 1 Arrive Salt Lake City
Depart the UK on your scheduled flight to Salt
Lake City. Upon arrival, collect your rental car and
proceed to your hotel.
Hotel: Hotel Monaco, Salt Lake City
Day 2 Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City combines unparalleled access to
natural recreation with a remarkable history and
warm, gracious hospitality. To make the most of
your day in the city, we suggest taking a hop-on/
hop-off sightseeing tour which provides the
opportunity of visiting Olympic Cauldron Park,
Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Red Butte Gardens
and Temple Square.
Hotel: Hotel Monaco, Salt Lake City
Days 3 & 4 Elko
Your adventure starts this morning, as you head
west; skimming the south shores of Great Salt Lake,
traversing Great Salt Lake Desert, and crossing
the state line into Nevada. We suggest lunch in
Wendover and a stop in Wells before arriving
in Elko. Here you can visit the California Trails
Center; which presents the history of the Gold
Rush, and visit historic downtown Elko where
amazing saddles and leather creations are on show
at Capriola’s Saddle Shop. Just outside Elko, you
can head to Lamoille Canyon and take a leisurely
drive along the breathtaking twelve-mile canyon
road - viewing spectacular vistas, wildlife, flowers,
and rushing streams, through the glacially carved
canyons of the Ruby Mountains.
Hotel: Red Lion Hotel & Casino
Days 5 & 6 Reno
It is a fairly long drive today, but wonderfully scenic
as you cross Cowboy Country. If you want to stretch
your legs make a stop at Rye Patch State Recreation
Area. If you’re feeling romantic, lock your love in
Lovelock by fastening a lock on the never-ending
chain at Lovers Lock Plaza. Reno, also known as ‘The
Biggest Little City in the World’, was the original sin
city, but in recent years it has seen something of a
cultural resurgence of upscale shopping, galleries
and restaurants.
Hotel: Silver Legacy Resort & Casino
Days 7, 8 & 9 Lake Tahoe
It is a short drive to Lake Tahoe, so we suggest you
take a longer route along interstate 580 to visit some
of the region’s popular attractions. Carson City, the
state capital, is only half an hour south of Reno.
Highlights along Main Street include the capitol
building, Nevada state museum and Nevada state
railroad museum. Once a vital mining settlement,
Virginia City is a gem of the Old West. Spend time
walking the plank boardwalks, browsing the shops
and dimly lit saloons. Once in stunning Lake Tahoe,
you will find picture-postcard scenery of sparkling
crystal clear water reflecting snow clad mountains.
Hotel: Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort
Days 10 & 11 Ely
Today’s drive takes you from Tahoe to Ely. We
suggest a stop for lunch in Eureka followed by a
tour of the 1881 Eureka Opera House. Your journey
continues along the ‘Loneliest Road in America’ to
your base for the next two nights in Ely. Tonight
