We are going to USA from Australia in July (I know…US summer..we are wanting to go to USA without snow etc so we can experience it during summer and also go to Cedar Point and Schlitterbahn water park as well. Anyway, Could we possibly just spend 2 nights in Las Vegas and drive out and see the grand canyon? (we will be flying from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and hopefully from Las Vegas to Austin, Texas (and driving 1 hour to schlitterbahn in new braunfels) and then driving to Houston, Flying to Chicago etc. Anyway, will 2 nights (flying into Las Vegas early in the morning so we get two full days be enough? We are a family of 5. We won’t be gambing much probably just $5 or $10. We would be going there for a luxury hotel and to see the Grand Canyon. Will 2 full days and nights be enough? We have very limited time.
We will also be going to Sandusky, Ohio, Chicago, Boston, New York and Washington DC before flying back to Los Angeles and flying back to Australia. We have a limit of a mon
a month (4 weeks) in the US. We really wanted to get to Orlando and go to sea world, wet’n'wild and 2 disney world parks Epcot and another one. Will we have time?
We want to only spend 3 nights all up in LA, hopefully just 2 maybe 3 nights in Las Vegas, 2 or 3 nights in New Braunfels, Texas, 2 nights in Houston, 3 nights in Chicago, 3 nights in Sandusky, 4 nights in Boston, 4 or 5 nights in New York and about 3 or 4 nights in Washington DC. We want to also visit the best museums (world-class) in the last few cities I mentioned.
We would fly to Vegas. How long does it take to get from the Grand Canyon back to Los Angeles? That might be worthwhile. Is there a place to stay near the grand canyon in the heat of summer? Is it safe if you break down out there (you said there wasn’t very much traffic!)
(bypassing Vegas). My concern is that there will be 5 of us (family…3 kids..parents). How many miles or kilometres is it from the Grand Canyon to Los Angeles (bypassing Vegas?) How much does it cost to rent a car for 2 days?
