Full Description
Santa Monica and its pier
Santa Monica is the beach town on the Pacific coast that many visitors picture when they think of Los Angeles. A Santa Monica day trip from Las Vegas gives you time by the ocean, the pier with its amusement rides and the wide sandy beach, plus a chance to stroll the nearby promenade and shops.
It is the perfect first taste of the coast after the desert drive, and a good place to stretch your legs. Sea breezes keep it cooler than inland Los Angeles, so bring a light layer. Your guide will explain how long you have and where to meet the group again before you leave.
Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills is one of the most famous neighbourhoods in the world, and Rodeo Drive is its most glamorous shopping street. On a Beverly Hills tour from Las Vegas you drive past palm-lined avenues, grand residences and the boutiques of luxury brands, with your guide pointing out landmarks and film-industry stories.
Even if you do not plan to shop, walking a few blocks here is a classic Los Angeles experience and a favourite photo stop. Ask the guide about the best spots for pictures, and note that shops are the main draw, not tickets or tours inside buildings.
Sunset Strip and Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Sunset Strip is the stretch of Sunset Boulevard known for legendary music venues, billboards and nightlife history. Nearby, Hollywood is where you find the Walk of Fame, where more than two thousand stars are set into the pavement, close to the famous theatres and the Hollywood sign views.
A Hollywood day tour from Las Vegas is a fast way to see these icons. Hollywood Boulevard is busy, so keep your belongings close and expect crowds. The trip is a drive-through and walk-through of the highlights rather than a studio tour.
The drive between Las Vegas and Los Angeles
The route crosses the Mojave Desert and takes about four hours each way, depending on traffic, which is why the day is around fourteen hours in total. Your guide gives commentary on the way and helps you plan the time in each place.
The vehicle has Wi-Fi, USB charging ports and reclining leather seats, so you can rest or charge your phone. A hot lunch at a restaurant is included, and the guide will confirm timings on the day. Bring a jacket, as the coast can be cooler than Las Vegas.
