Busy, bustling Las Vegas can provide this, as well. Take a cruise on Lake Mead. Only 30 miles away from the city, Lake Mead and Hoover Dam seem worlds away from the business of Las Vegas. Bus tours go to many area attractions such as Bryce Canyon, Death Valley, and Red Rock Canyon. A 13- mile driving tour in Red Rock Canyon winds through the unique, beautiful desert landscape.
More adventurous people can even take tours in airplanes and helicopters.
