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.
