Highlights of Nevada

Arrive at Las Vegas Airport, pick up your car and proceed to your hotel. Start your journey in Las Vegas, where you can wrap your senses around the dizzying sights and sounds of Nevada’s neon city before lighting out for the desert.

Enjoy a day a leisure to discover all that is Las Vegas the 'Enertainment of the Capital of the World.' Take a selfie at the Las Vegs Welcome Sign or be mesmerised by the famous Bellagio Fountains.

Today you’ll take time away from the iconic road routes and get back to nature. Great Basin National Park in Nevada boasts some special features that are hard to come by these days: a lack of big crowds and an abundance of dark skies. Though it’s hard to believe with the line-up of scenic features this place offers, Great Basin is one of the least visited national parks, making your time at this high-elevation paradise even more special. Here, you can hike Nevada’s second tallest peak, only crossing paths with a handful of people or experience the darkest night skies in the United States thanks to the park’s remote location.

Hit the road early as you travel along Highway 50, known as the Loneliest Road in America. The short, beautiful 1.25-hour drive from Ely to Eureka rewards you with plenty of time to fill your day exploring a mountain town built on art, history, and outdoor adventure. Stop at Garnet Hill to search the ground for ruby-like stones before rolling into town. Head for the old mountaintop mining town of Austin, by way of Fallon, an ancient petroglyph site, a huge singing sand dune, an old-school roadhouse, and more. Continue along Highway 50 until you reach the small Town of Fernley, then its onto Highway 80 as the Mountains start to show in the distance you scenic view begins into North Tahoe. They call Lake Tahoe the “Jewel of the Sierra Nevada.” And the moment you see it, you get why. Vast, crystal-clear, and encircled by towering alpine peaks, Lake Tahoe is a summertime paradise, a winter wonderland, and a year-round haven for magical mountain memories.

Spend the day soaking up the wonders of Lake Tahoe. The Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe is a bit more easy-going than its southern counterpart, and that’s a lovely thing. But it sure doesn't mean there’s a shortage of things to do in North Lake Tahoe. With several lakefront communities, some swanky resorts, and endless wilderness all around.

Now it’s time to experience A Psychedelic, Open-Air Odyssey Across the Silver State on the Free- range Art Highway. This coloruful road trip is the blank canvas for your next unusual adventure. Truckers may blast up the 500-mile (805 kilometres) stretch  but with sights ranging from mural-draped districts and oddball open-air galleries to funky shops and historic “haunts” (like, literally), you’ll want to slow your roll and follow your curiosity on—and off—Nevada’s eccentric slice of US-95. End your art-tastic adventure in Downtown Las Vegas’ Fremont East District, where several hip, walkable blocks buzz with restored vintage neon signs, Googie fonts, and out-of-this-world art.

Return your car at the Las Vegas airport before your departure flight to end your tour.
