These are the top things if you're planning to traverse the Desert SW, especially during the summer.

If you decide to come up through Vegas, and spend a night or 2 here, see the Fountains at the Bellagio (outdoors), At night, drive LV Blvd (The Strip) with no intention other than to cruise it, See a Cirque du Soleil show, spend some evening hours on Fremont Street at Fremont Street Experience.

25 miles due W of LV, Visit Red Rock Canyon.

30 Miles SE of Vegas visit the Hoover Dam, continue another 250 miles or so to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon (or park your car in LV and take a helicoptor or airplane tour of the Grand Canyon).

North out of LV, into Southern Utah, see Zion National Park, go east and south to Page AZ, Lake Powell, the Glen Canyon Dam and tour the famous Antelope (Slot) Canyon. Continue North and east to Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase, Escalante UT.

Head towards Moab UT, tour Arches National Park and book a half or full day excursion rafting the Colorado River.
