How much time do you need in July (in america) to stay in Las Vegas and go to the grand canyon?
Q. 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?

Answer
You are planning a very ambitious trip to the USA. My concern for you is that you are looking at quantity and not quality. I think you would have the same concern for me if our places were reversed. I have never been to Australia and plan to go there in the next year or two. I want to see as many places as possible but I also realize that just a night or two at each location is almost like not going there at all. That's what your trip to the USA looks like to me. You will be going to a lot of places without really seeing a lot. I suggest you do some research and choose fewer places to visit but plan to spend more time at each place. For example, you are going to Texas and Ohio to visit water parks and theme parks. Why not skip Texas and Ohio and spend a week in Walt Disney World instead? WDW may not have the "best" rides or the "best" water parks but it does have plenty of variety and a great atmosphere that more than makes up for it. While in Orlando you will be within an hour drive of the Kennedy Space Center which I consider a must see. Orlando is also home to Universal Studios and Sea World, and Busch Gardens in Tampa is just an hour and a half away. You could spend the better part of a month in Orlando alone. The Smithsonian museums in DC could take a week to see if you are into museums. My point is you should concentrate on quality and not quantity. You can't see the USA in one month any more than I can see Australia in two weeks.
Here's something else you might not know. When you rent a car, if you don't return it to the same location, you will be charged a "drop fee." This fee can run into the hundreds of dollars depending on how far the drop point is from the pickup point. If money is a concern, you should think about car rentals in terms of round-trips. You should also check on driver's license requirements to rent a car in the US. You might need an International Driver's License if you don't already have one.
If you pickup a rental car in Los Angeles, you can drive to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon before returning to Los Angeles to return the car. By the way, driving from LA to Vegas doesn't take much longer than flying because of airport security, especially at LAX. And, you get a much better view of the country than you would from 6 miles up. Don't worry about breakdowns on the interstate and state highways. There is always traffic on the major routes.
It takes approximately 5 hours to drive from LA to Vegas but it depends on the number of stops you make and for how long. It also takes about 5 hours to drive from Vegas to the south rim of the Grand Canyon but you will probably want to stop at the Hoover Dam and maybe take a tour of it. The drive from the Grand Canyon back to LA takes about 7 hours via I-40 and I-15.
You need to spend a minimum of two nights (one full day) at the Grand Canyon. It's not important that you stop at every scenic lookout but do get out and hike a trail or two (not the Bright Angel and South Kaibab). The rim trail from Mohave Point to Grand Canyon Village offers excellent views and is easy to do. You should take the west rim shuttle bus to see the canyon west of the village. Jump off the shuttle and walk between two or more of the lookouts before re-boarding the shuttle to continue the trip out to Hermit's Rest. Keep an eye on your kids because sections of trails are situated along cliffs with drop-offs from a few hundred to a few thousand feet. July is an extremely busy period at the Grand Canyon so don't let the crowds and heat frustrate you. Adjust your schedule to get out early before the crowds and have your meals early or late to avoid the crowds. Check the park schedule of activities and take in a ranger talk in the evening. They are usually very informative.
If you can't get lodging accommodations at the south rim of the Grand Canyon, try the town of Tusayan which is located just outside the park about 9 miles from Grand Canyon Village. If Tusayan is not available, try Williams which is located about 60 miles south of the canyon. Make your lodging reservations as soon as possible. Summer is a very busy time of year at our national parks. WDW is also very busy so book early.
Welcome to America! I really hope you and your family enjoy your visit. Stay safe and have a good time.
