THE LITTLE PITCH

A quick desert escape where vivid cliffs, open sky and an unhurried scenic drive make a different kind of Vegas weekend.

Use Las Vegas as a base, then arrange a rental car or confirmed ride to Red Rock Canyon. The park transfer and any timed-entry needs must be checked separately.

THREE DAYS, A LITTLE MORE MAGIC

A weekend to remember.

THE ROUGH DRAFT
01—03
01

Friday · land in Vegas

Arrive midafternoon, check in and keep the evening flexible. Confirm the rental-car pickup plan before relying on Saturday access to Red Rock.

02

Saturday · Red Rock Canyon

Spend the day among the Calico Hills and scenic drive pullouts. Check the official current entry/reservation rules, road status and weather before setting out.

03

Sunday · early flight

The 9:04 AM nonstop calls for an early hotel checkout and airport transfer. That transfer is not included in the estimate.

WHY THIS WEEKEND?

A good season to go.

Late fall is a sensible desert-season option. Red Rock Canyon has changing entry and road rules; confirm current scenic-drive reservations, hours and closures before booking.
