Visiting Valley of Fire State Park in 1 Day on a Day Trip from Las Vegas

Picture this: You’ve seen the shows, eaten at all the buffets, and visited your fill of themed casinos. But you still have some time to spend in Las Vegas, and decide to go on a day trip.

There are several options for day trips from Las Vegas. You could go see the Hoover Dam, or visit the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, or maybe even try to make it to Death Valley.

But the Hoover Dam won’t really fill a whole day. The West Rim of the Grand Canyon is perhaps a little overrated. And Death Valley is 2.5 hours away, meaning it requires a lot of driving for a day trip.

So where can you go that’s close to Vegas, not too expensive, and will truly give you a taste of the Nevada desert?

You can go to Valley of Fire State Park.
