Grab coffee and a breakfast sandwich at the London Bridge Resort coffee shop or a nearby café to fuel the drive; easy, quick and convenient before departure.
Drive northeast from Lake Havasu City to Williams via AZ-95 and I-40 — a mostly highway route with desert and plateau views; plan for one or two short comfort stops.
If you prefer wildlife over an immediate drive, visit Bearizona (drives and walking areas) — typical hours are 9:00am–5:00pm but check seasonal times; great for seeing North American animals in a drive-through setting.
Check into your Sedona accommodation then explore Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village (shops and galleries usually open 10:00am–6:00pm) — an atmospheric afternoon activity.
Easy walk to Bell Rock for classic red-rock views; trails are accessible sunrise–sunset (no entrance fee) and provide a gentle introduction to Sedona’s landscape.
Dine at Elote Café (famous regional cuisine) or another top Sedona restaurant — reservations strongly recommended; typically open for dinner from around 5:00pm but check exact hours.
Join a Pink Jeep guided off-road tour to experience backcountry red-rocks safely and with local commentary; tours commonly run in the morning and midday — pre-booking strongly advised.
Quick hotel breakfast or a final coffee at a local café before departing Sedona — leave early to allow a comfortable drive to Las Vegas with a mid-route stop.
Depart Sedona northwest via US-93 toward Las Vegas; route passes near Hoover Dam — allow 4½–5 hours driving time including stops for fuel and short breaks.
Visit Hoover Dam visitor centre (typically open around 9:00am–5:00pm) for short walks, viewpoints and optional tours — check tour times and book ahead if needed.
Stroll the Strip to see casino lobbies, lights and the Bellagio Fountain shows (evening shows every 15–30 minutes) — free and iconic photo opportunities.
Visit the Neon Museum (usually opens around 10:00am) to see restored signage and learn Vegas history, or choose the Mob Museum downtown (typical hours 10:00am–5:00pm).
Have lunch at a top-reviewed spot like Lotus of Siam (famous Thai, reservations advised) or a quick meal on the Strip if you prefer to linger nearer your hotel.
Take a ride on the High Roller observation wheel at LINQ for skyline views or head to Fremont Street Experience for retro Vegas energy and daytime performances.
Enjoy an early final dinner on the Strip (Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen or another high-profile restaurant) — make reservations and allow time to return to your hotel for bags.
Leave Las Vegas at 21:00 as planned. If catching a flight, be sure to allow recommended check-in/security time (typically 2h domestic, 3h international).
