Tips

If you have extra days, consider adding a second day in Los Angeles to visit Santa Monica Beach or the Getty Center, or extend your Las Vegas stay with a day trip to the Hoover Dam. To shorten the trip, focus on either the LA theme parks or the Las Vegas attractions, skipping either the museums or the natural sites to fit everything into a 3‑day whirlwind.
