On my first visit to Vegas I travelled to Monument valley in Utah. For me a must see given am a big fan of the old John ford westerns. Still an amazing place though and worth a visit


is it on your route ?? I have no idea but am sure you can fit it in

The helicopter ride through grand canyon. ~$200. I haven't been but relatives tell me it's awesome. I'd suggest white water rafting it might be a bit much for your trip.

Try using Google Earth to scout out your trip.

I thought Mesquite was some sort of chilli BBQ sauce? Didn't they have Mesquite flavour kettle chips that were awesome? As for the US, can't help beyond saying to avoid LAX like the plague. Worst. Airport. Ever.

The LAX airport police are ticket crazy! I'm willing to bet they make more money on writing tickets than from parking.

Oh hey BTW, the helicopter rides for Grand Canyon can start from Las Vegas.

While in Salt Lake City, get to the area around 800 South and State; in that area there are at least 8 or 9 street vendor taco wagons and they are all good, some of them very good. Also, the Fullmer gym is in West Jordan, but it has recently moved.
If you hit the Grand Canyon, at this time of year it is much less crowded if you go to the North Rim. Take highway (??) 9 east out of St George Utah. But while you're in that vicinity, don't overlook Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef National Parks. That whole 'canyon country' area is truly spectacular. Monument Valley is right there as well.
The Canyon De Chelly national monument is a bit of a drive, close to the New Mexico border, but check it out on-line; really something to see, and they have a good gym in Chinle.
From Mesquite, Death Valley isn't too far and the "Extraterrestrial Highway" will pretty much take you there. A bit north is the Great Basin National Park, which I haven't seen, but I've read and heard that it is worth seeing. Glaciers in the desert!
There is a lot more going on in Salt Lake than you might think; a pretty thriving music scene and so on. Get out and explore a bit.
Have a good time, my friend.
