Las Vegas Holidays

Price includes : Flights and 10 nights accommodation in your choice of 3*, 4* or 5* hotels on a room only board basis.

Location: Los Angeles

Los Angeles has littered the world with its paraphernalia. Disneyland, movie stars, TV, fast food and hype - it's all here in overdrive. LA may be a figment of its own imagination, but if you long to stand in the footsteps of stars and breathe their hallowed air, you've come to the right place.

Starlit and moonstruck, Los Angeles beguiles scores of curious tourists, hopeful starlets and wannabe rock musicians each day. But Los Angeles is more than the sum total of its mass-produced fantasies. It's a thriving hybrid, a conglomeration of 88 independent cities sprawling over a vast urban maelstrom.

No other city studies itself with such narcissistic intensity. If you're not prepared to embrace the dream, you'll doubtless find it just plain dumb. In this town, game show hosts are household names and nobodies erect billboard shrines to themselves.

Location: San Francisco

San Francisco was just a small town, until 1840 when Sam Brennan discovered gold and within a year, 50,000 had moved in, not only from the USA but also from mainland China. Now it is a huge and bustling city, very popular for tourists.

The city is built on 40 hills, each providing a very different atmosphere. This was the setting for the 'Summer of Love' in Haight-Ashbury. There is the opulence of Knob Hill, where the wealthy built extravagant mansions in the 1870's, and the wealthy of California still live today. You can also enjoy the sights of Fisherman's Wharf popular with tourists and sea lions, full of shops, silly museums and family fun. Still a working wharf, its vendors sell thousands of tons of fish and shellfish. San Francisco streets can be explored on foot, taking in the various neighbourhoods - Chinatown, Japan town, Italian North Beach and Russian Hill. Sample delicious local seafood and take the ferry to Alcatraz Island, home of the world's most notorious prison. The Golden Gate Bridge must be walked over and an afternoon in Golden Gate Park is a delight. Sonoma and Napa wine valleys are slightly north with Carmel and Monterey 2 hours south down beautiful Highway One.
