One of the most geographically diverse regions in the United States, the West astounds with its sweeping vistas and culture-rich cities, and is home to a vibrant mix of Anglo, Hispanic, pioneer, and American Indian traditions. The states of Arizona, Utah and Nevada offer a unique melting pot of history, culture, and landscape built upon what was once the Wild West, and a trip through the region will taking you on a fascinating journey worthy of any discerning traveller.
Start with the neon lights of the Las Vegas Strip. Home to colossal casino resorts and styled as the Capital of Entertainment, experience the place where glamour and extravagance are celebrated like nowhere on Earth.
Continue into Utah where their National Parks feature awe-inspiring red rock formations, sandstone arches, towering canyon cliffs and looming mesas as far as the eye can see. You’ll feel like you’re standing on the set of a Western – and maybe you are. The National Parks have been the locations for countless films, including Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, Thelma & Louise, and John Wayne’s The Searchers.
A bespoke holiday to the West isn’t complete without stopping in Arizona. Home to desert landscapes and world-renowned canyons, this great state contrasts it’s innate natural beauty with modern urban living. Drive along the legendary Route 66, stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon, go horse riding at a dude ranch, dine at one of Phoenix’s award-winning restaurants or take some time for yourself in one of Scottsdale’s luxury spas.
