Details
Arrive at the Las Vegas airport and pick up your rental car. You can also fly into Salt Lake City for this itinerary.
We booked through Dollar, and had some problems at pick up. NOTE: If you check in online with Dollar, you still need to go to the main desk.
Tip: If flying from the East Coast, try to get as early of a flight as possible. Unfortunately, the time and cost that worked best for us didn't land in Vegas until 6 pm PT, which meant a very late night.

Hi, I'm Kerri! A carry-on-only traveler who loves to pack in as many sights as possible.
My trip itineraries center around culture, food, drinks and getting outside.
These are all trips I've personally planned and taken with pictures, tips, regrets, and notes so you can make the most of your time in a new place.
You'll find guides for city breaks, road trips, and outdoorsy adventures (but nothing too intense) that maximize your short time in a new place.
Thanks for stopping by!
