Trip to Las Vegas
 

Clan Montgomery is having its Annual Meeting next July in Flagstaff. I see that it is fairly close to Las Vegas, where we can get tours of the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam- not to mention seeing the Strip. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions about where to stay and what to do. So far I've found that Harrah's seems to have decent rates, and there is a 12 hour excursion to the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon available. Where do most tours start? We'll be in Vegas for 2 days, one day will be filled with the tour mentioned. Anything else stand out? The Lake Meade dinner cruise?

Anyway, sure would like to get anybody's suggestions- maybe we don't even need to stay in Vegas to do these tours, but it seems like that might be the easiest way to handle it.

Also- should I go ahead and make my airline reservations now- ten months out?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Air now is probably cheaper than later.

If you're staying in Flagstaff, you're practically at the Grand Canyon already.
Why would you drive 4 hours west to see what is 1 hour north of Flag?!
If the Grand Canyon is on your must-see list, you're better off planning an excursion from Flagstaff.
Trust me, pull out a map & see....

And if you want a great place to enjoy cigars in the Flag area,
I'm only 1-1/2 hours' drive away.-(P

yeah, sound like a plan- just seemed to be so easy from Vegas, BUT will look at changing the itinerary a bit. Still in the very early planning stages, natch! And maybe we could gtg for a smoke!
