Suggestions for Places to Visit on the West coast?

Hello.

Me and my parents are planning a road trip during the long Rememberance Day weekend since pro-d days are surrounding those dates. Kinda like the Oprah and Gayle's big adventure except with unfamous people.

We live in Vancouver, BC, by the way, and are planning to drive to as far as Vegas. I was hoping people could give some suggestions about cool places to go in Vegas or on the way to Vegas.

Thanks, hope to hear some good suggestions

 

Mt. Saint Helens (Washington), Crater Lake (Oregon), and Death Valley (California).

 

Good suggestions from Nintendo
In Vegas, stay @ Palms, Venetian, Paris, Wynn or Bellagio

Go to Palms' Ghostbar or Rain
Watch Cirque du Soleil or Blue Man Group

How many days are you planning to stay in LV? There are so MANY great things to do & see
Have a safe trip!

 

Definitely check out Hollywood - the West side. It's pretty much like heaven over there.

 

I would suggest the Grand Cayon and the Hoover Dam. From Vegas you can hit them both in a day. Hoover dam about 25 mins out and the Grand Cayon is like around 3 hours out.

 

Never been to DV but I would vote Yosemite NP any day!!



{and also Sequoia}

 

Nintendo - thanks, ill take mt st helens into consideration

Jessica - haha, all those hotels seem a little over the roof for us. i think best western or something is the way to go.

cubicbale - we're planning to

thanks for the suggestions for the natural tourist destinations, but we're on a limited time, so maybe mt st helens and the grand canyon will do for now. thanks

can anyone suggest any good malls or shopping districts in the area or on the way to vegas?

 

san francisco

 

how long of a drive is it from las vegas to san francisco?

 

i hear compton, california is a good place to see

 

i live in southern cali and it takes 3 to get to las vegas i think so i imagine double the time

 

you can get good deals on those hotel from hotels.com or similar sites.. and if you order it couple weeks / at least a month in advance you'll get a pretty good deal (except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc..)

Forget to tell you, in Oregon you might want to visit Mt Hood & Cannon Beach. Oregon is one of the best scenic state in the US!
I believe from VC you can use Hwy 1 route (along the coast). You won't be sleepy driving long hours

 

at least 8 hours if there's no traffic. i think jetblue or southwest has some cheap flights though. if you're visiting while the weather is still nice i'd check out some of the socal beaches, but as far as cities that are worth visiting in california, san francisco is about it. LA is way too sprawly to feel like a city.

 

I'm still stumped about where the popular shopping districts are... I've tried searching on Google but there is just way too many results......

 

napa valley

 

what is that?
it shows up as a winery on google if im not mistaken

 

replace "a" with 56




actually I have no idea the extent of how many or what else is there.

 

yea thats what it is. i been there once
