Ep. 337: Las Vegas | Nevada RV travel camping hiking

Everyone knows the Las Vegas Strip. While we visit The Strip in this episode during our week-long RV visit to Las Vegas, we'll also show you another side of Las Vegas that relatively few tourists ever see, including Boulder City on Lake Mead, the former mining town of Goodsprings, and hiking to a deep cave in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. We'll bring you behind the scenes where they train Vegas show performers, visit three acres of cactus botanical gardens brightly illuminated for Christmas at a local chocolatier, and even bring you to a Vegas show ourselves. Come along!

ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.

We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Grand Adventure is the creative video outlet for Marc Guido, a 50-something outdoors enthusiast who first added an RV to his gear bag in spring 2017. Outside of ski season he travels the U.S. in his fifth wheel RV trailer with his lovely wife Patricia, and their overly-caffeinated Labrador retriever Zoe. During winter, they base their RV in Salt Lake City for the skiing.
