Thrilling Instagramable places near Las Vegas

Updated: Mar 1, 2023

How do you plan a vacation when your travel group includes an artsy friend, a couple of rollercoaster lovers, and an adventure seeker? You go to Vegas.


It's worth mentioning that the friend is in fact your girlfriend, the rollercoaster lovers are nine and eleven and you are the adventure seeker.


I have to give props to my boyfriend for this idea. Sin City is not your typical family vacation and has a lot to offer besides showgirls, gambling and partying. The variety in this city is unreal.

If you and your tribe love Instagram and adventure, read on for a short list of things to do during your time in Las Vegas.


1. Valley of Fire State Park

This place was hot and huge. But it turns out you can experience much of what the park has to offer in only a few hours. We stopped at the beehives, checked out the petroglyphs, and visited the elephant rock.

Photography tip: If you see a spot you like, stop. Chances are that if you wait to take the photo on your way back, the light would have changed and the photo won't be the same.

His favorite part: Skating in the middle of the desert.

Kids' favorite part: Taking turns at deciphering the petroglyphs.



2. Seven Magic Mountains

Photography tip: Schedule your visit right before sunset so you can catch the beautiful colors.

His favorite part: He didn't have to drive back because I offered. Can't win them all.
