Labor Day Road Trips in the USA

The Labor Day long weekend is your chance to take a quick road trip and experience some of the classic cities and towns in the United States. Although summer is over, the weather is still perfect for exploring the outdoors. Here are some of the top road trips you can enjoy on this Labor Day.

1. A loop around Las Vegas

Las Vegas Hoover Dam

Forget about work for the weekend and escape to the bright lights of Las Vegas. Stay at one of the glamorous hotels on the Strip like Caesar's Palace or Planet Hollywood in the middle of all the action.

Whether you want to catch a show, tour some of the famous sights of the city or head on a road trip to Hoover Dam and the Valley of Fire, this is sure to be an unforgettable trip!

Where to Stop Along the Way

  • The Las Vegas Strip: There are plenty of sights to see along the iconic Las Vegas Boulevard. See the dancing fountains of the Bellagio, or shop in the upmarket Forum Shops.
