est ce vrai que lorsqu'on est mineure il ne vaut mieux pas allez a Las Vegas à moins de vouloir perdre son temps?
Las Vegas en étant mineure?
by Alex1735
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Si c'est pour jouer au casino, mineur, tu ne peux pas.
Maintenant, si c'est pour voir la ville, assister aux attractions et voir le modèle capitaliste craquer derrière le vernis de façade 😛😇😏, tu peux y faire un saut et te laisser porter par la folie de la ville.
Qu'y recherche tu ?
Ce qu'il y a à voir à Las Vegas :
des casinos! les hotels...il y a plusieurs hôtels et chacun ont un thème différent, c'est intéressant à visiter le night life (clubs, bars, etc.) mais c'est permis au 21 ans et plus!
Sinon, il serait mieux d'aller voir des endroits comme le Grand Canyon, dans le Nevada, le barrage Hoover Dam et il y a aussi la possibilité de faire de l'équitation à Spring Mountains, en plein désert de Las Vegas, personnellement j'ai adoré!

Il y a des choses à voir à Las Vegas, même mineure, tu vois quasiment tout. La 1ere fois que j'y suis allée, j'avais 19 ans, et aux USA c'est mineure, on n'a pas le droit de jouer au casino.
Tu as le droit de rentrer dans les hotels-casinos, de passer dans les allées principales, donc de voir la folie version Las Vegas, mais pas le droit de t'attarder trop derrière une machine à sous. Au pire, si on te repère, ils te disent d'aller un peu plus loin mais c'est tout.
De plus depuis quelques années, il y a de plus en plus d'attractions pour les mineures, et les allées commercantes dans les grands hotels-casinos sont impressionnantes, non pas par les boutiques, mais par le décor : plafond comme un ciel qui varie au cours de la journée, reconstitution d'une ville comme Paris ou Venise (enfin la vision que s'en font les américains). Bref, c'est marrant à voir.
C'est vrai que tout est artificiel à Las Vegas, mais ça vaut le coup d'oeil. Pas la peine d'y rester longtemps, surtout que cette agitation tout le temps ça fatigue. Mais un coup d'oeil vaut vraiment le coup : tout est démesuré, clinquant, illuminé.
Tu peux prévoir un jour, peut-être 2, mais pas le peine d'y rester plus longtemps. Et c'est un bon point d'arrêt entre les merveilles naturelles de la région.

Les mineurs - moins de 21 ans - sont interdits de casino. Aussi interdit de boire des alcools/dans les bars/clubs/discos/etc a moins d' y avoir un restau.
Reviens quand tu auras 21 ans.
C' est con mais c' est comme ca les USA.

oui, mais ça serait mieux d'y rester un peu plus longtemps! rien que les visites des hotels principaux prennent du temps; va voir le Caesar palace, le Venetian, le Paris, le choix est vaste!🙂

Entre autre le Caesar (se prononce cisar) est assez sympa à visiter surtout l'entrée et ensuite la galerie marchande avec la reconstitution d'une rue de Pompéi, c'est pas mal n'en déplaise à certains, moi j'aime bien alors que je suis un amoureux des grands espaces.J'y suis allé cinq fois et je dois dire que j'y ai toujours passé de supers moments.Il n'y a pas que les casinos, tu peux y pratiquer différents sports ( Kart, nascar, rando à cheval, baignades à Wet 'n wild, tous les manéges des hotels et surtout celui du New York New York, les spectacles du Strip le soir et le lêche vitrine).Dans la journée il fait trés chaud et je te recommande de prendre le train, ou navette qui relie les hotels au départ du Monté Carlo, à moins que depuis la dernière fois il l'aient prolongé, tu verras par toi même.
Comme le dit Fabienne, il faut absolument visiter le Venetian qui est magnifique même en stuc!!! C'est le cadeau d'un milliardaire à son épouse qui révait d'avoir une maison ressemblant à Venise, il en a fait un casino, mais l'histoire ne dit pas si sa femme en a un privé 🤪.
Une journée c'est court, enfin tout dépend de ce que tu veux y faire.
Bon courage en attendant ta majorité 😉

Petit conseil, va au buffet du Golden Nugget le matin! c'est un delire culinaire, le meilleur de tout Vegas, au point de vue qualite; le decor est superbe, tres belle epoque;ne rate pas ça... et je m'en retourne a ma jaunisse!! !Y en a marre vous partez tous!!!!!!!!!!!🏴☠️

Pourquoi gacher sa visite aux USA avec Las Vegas quand il y a de si beaux endroits a visiter en Amerique du Nord?
Si vous voulez vous rendre compte vous memes que les americains sont phony, shallow et cons, je peux vous faire des ecos et vous le dire tt de suite. Les americains sont phony, shallow et cons. Voila! Des dollars de gagner.
Maintenant allez visiter un ou plusieurs parc(s) national(aux), une ville coloniale, etc, etc.
Las Vegas, c' est pour les ploucs.

D'accord avec tous les deux.
Sur un circuit de 3 semaines, c'est pas plus bête de passer 2 jours à Las Vegas "pour voir". Se faire sa propre opinion ça me semble rationnel. 🙂
Et puis les US c'est un tout non ?
Il y a Edgar Hoover et Luther king. (J'ai pris 2 morts pour pas avoir de problème 😕)
C'est l'avantage du pays. Les parcs et LV, SF et Los Angeles
Las Vegas est une destination tres chere, et pour adultes seulement. Les familles sont une distraction.
La conseille au moins de 21 ans n' est pas tres gentil.

Je suis allée à Las Vegas, que je pense qui est un endroit à voir au moins 1 fois dans sa vie! Ne serait-ce que pour vivre la folie et la fantaisie de cette ville! Et aussi les spectacles...
De plus, le désert du Nevada, c'est bien et c'est beau.
Mais je vais quand même être d'accord avec certains, si tu as moins de 21 ans, ça ne vaut pas la peine, il faut quand même fêter un peu...
Pour le coût, effectivement je trouve ça cher, surtout pour la nourriture. Les buffets sont devenus dispendieux (surtout si tu es une fille et que tu ne manges pas tant que ça!). Pour les hotels, ça va par contre.

Ceci dit Las Vegas n'est pas une ville particulierement chere surtout quand on ne joue pas.... on trouve des chambres a tres bon prix la semaine, dans des hotels de luxe; pour la nourriture et pour ceux qui n'ont pas le sou, il y a egalement des macdos comme partout😉;les petit dejeuners-buffet sont tous a moins de 10$, et ça nourrit jusqu'au diner; les visites d'hotels sont gratuites, avec la folie en plus par rapport a toutes les autres villes

Bonjour,
Je suis allée deux fois à Las Vegas ; c'est comme un grand parc d'attractions !!! Très amusant. Les mineurs bien sûr ne peuvent jouer dans les casinos, mais le spectacle vaut quand même la peine. Et puis les hôtels ne sont pas très chers et très bien et certains ont des buffets dans lesquels on peut très bien manger à volonté pour des prix raisonnables. Par ailleurs depuis Las Végas on peut aller vers le Grand Canyon également pour des prix raisonnable et la ballade vaut le déplacement. Il n'est pas nécessaire de rester très longtemps à Las Végas, 4 à 5 jours suffisent pour tout visiter et voir le Grand Canyon. Alors bon voyage !! Amicalement, Misha
Chaque instant un monde nouveau
😉les mineurs peuvent jouer dans certain casino le lot c'est des peluches ou autres babioles mais tout est prevus😄 no problems joue qui a envie 😇😇

T'occupes Fabienne, Mr le Comte ne se souvient plus qu'il fut mineur ( sans fond) à une époque.
Les mineurs sont les premiers à prendre du bon temps à LV, suffit de demander à ma fille à qui j'ai fait partager la vie de cet endroit un peu magique sur certains côtés 😉
Je suis mal placé pour parler des hotels peu chers puisque je fréquente le Caesar quand je passe par là ou le Flamingo si pas de place en face🙂.Mas oui cette ville est accessible en semaine, il faut éviter le vendredi soir et tout le W-E.
ce n'est pas plus mechant que de traiter les americains de cons a longueur de soiree😕 Oui et ceux qui ne savent pas parler anglais, des ignares en somme 🤪

Hello! The itinerary is pretty much set for August 2026. Yeah, I know it’s gonna be *super* hot. But it’s the only time we can get away.
So, here’s the plan: Montpellier-CDG-Dallas.
Stay from July 31 to August 26, 2026: Car rental – check, Hotels – check, Itinerary – almost check, Photo gear – check, Budget – check, 🤪 Meal planning – meh, we’ll see... Walmart, of course, for the cooler when we arrive.
And now, without too much detail...
Fort Worth: The Longhorns and the Stockyards; JR’s ranch (for the missus); Medal of Honor Museum – Arlington.
Houston and NASA Space Center: See the Gulf of Mexico/America.
San Antonio and the missions.
Fort Stockton for an overnight stop.
El Paso via Guadalupe Mountains: El Paso and White Sands.
Tucson and the Pima Air & Space Museum: Tombstone, Bisbee.
Phoenix:
Still working on the program.
Sedona: Round trip around the area via Flagstaff and Williams, or the Grand Canyon (already done) – we’ll decide on the spot.
Albuquerque: Santa Fe, Turquoise Trail, Los Alamos.
Amarillo via Route 66: Old Route 66 in the city; Big Texas Ranch Steak 😏.
Dallas: JFK Museum; Perot Museum; West End district.
And through it all – the road, the road, and more road!!!
We’ll adapt day by day based on our mental and physical state (we’re not exactly spring chickens).
Return to France: Dallas-Montpellier via CDG.
Cheers!

Hello everyone! Really damaged due to flooding caused by runoff after forest fires (a total mess!), does anyone in this friendly forum have any updates on the Apache Trail between Apache Junction and Roosevelt Dam? Is there still a section of the road that’s tough to navigate?

Hi there,
We're leaving at the end of June and will be driving the route between Buffalo and Cody. We’ve already booked our accommodations and a rodeo in Cody, but during the day, we’ll be driving between the two and I’m unsure about the itinerary. Which route do you think is the most pleasant, interesting, or scenic between: - The northern route via Highway 14 with Sheridan, Lowell, etc. - The southern route with Highways 16/20/14, passing by Loaf Mountain Overlook, Powder River Pass, Ten Sleep Canyon...
We’ll be in a car, so we should be able to drive on any road. Thanks for your input!

Hi everyone! 🙂
I’m almost done planning our September road trip. After our 3-night visit to Sequoia, we’ll have a stopover night in Coalinga (to break up the drive). We’ll be staying two nights in Monterey and would like to stop along the way to visit one side of Pinnacles National Park. We’re torn between the West entrance and the East entrance, and we’d like to do a short hike of no more than 2 hours since we don’t want to arrive too late in Monterey.
This park is split into two distinct zones with no connection between them, and the mileage from Coalinga to Monterey is pretty much the same for both. Which area do you recommend visiting—east or west? And which route is the most scenic?
I’ve spotted two short hikes: - East: Moses Spring to Rim Trail Loop - West: Balconies Cliffs Cave Loop
Has anyone been there, or do you have another hike to suggest?
Thanks in advance, and have a great afternoon! Marcalamar 🙂

Hello everyone,
After our first trip as a young couple to the West in 2007 (yes, that doesn’t make us any younger!), we’re planning to go back in 2028, but this time as a family of four! (We have two boys who’ll be 5½ and 13 years old in the summer of 2028.)
Our plan is to combine a few big cities (SF and LA, maybe San Diego) with national parks and state parks, mostly! Ideally, we’d like to leave at the end of June and head back to France around July 19–20, so we can enjoy the first week of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Since we already did the "loop" in 2007, there are must-see places we absolutely want to revisit—and especially share with our kids: Bryce Canyon, Yosemite, and above all, the Grand Canyon, which is still the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen on Earth!
On the other hand, some places didn’t leave a big impression on us for various reasons, so we’re not making them a priority: Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, for example.
We’re planning ahead, but might as well be smart about it😏
Do you have any tips for a fun and doable itinerary over about 20–25 days with kids, without rushing?
Thanks in advance for your feedback😉

Hi everyone! 🙂
Just a quick question about King Canyon and Sequoia National Park.
Before our night in Miramonte, we plan to visit King Canyon. The next stop will be two nights in Three Rivers to explore Sequoia National Park. I wanted to go all the way to Roaring River Falls on the King Canyon Scenic Byway and then turn back to head to Miramonte. Since we’re coming from Oakhurst, Google Maps says it’s 300 km and 5 hours of driving. Since we also want to hike to see the sequoias (Big Stump Area and Grand Grove) before tackling the King Canyon Scenic Byway, the timing’s going to be tight. How far do you recommend going before turning back to miss as few points of interest as possible on the King Canyon Scenic Byway? Thanks for your advice, and have a great evening!

Hi everyone!
After years of hoping, waiting, planning, then changing, saving, and searching for the best possible route... we're FINALLY off this summer for a 5-week road trip in the West.
I had planned a trip to Colorado in 2021 but canceled due to COVID, so with time passing and my eldest’s high school graduation approaching fast, I figured it was now or never!
Anyway, the itinerary has been modified and extended to please everyone (I’m no longer the only one making decisions!!)
Here’s our final route: Day 1 - 7/12/2026 - Brussels / Los Angeles Day 2 - 7/13/2026 - Los Angeles Day 3 - 7/14/2026 - Los Angeles Day 4 - 7/15/2026 - Los Angeles Day 5 - 7/16/2026 - Los Angeles Day 6 - 7/17/2026 - Los Angeles / Kingman Day 7 - 7/18/2026 - Kingman / Grand Canyon Day 8 - 7/19/2026 - Grand Canyon / Page Day 9 - 7/20/2026 - Page Day 10 - 7/21/2026 - Page / Monument Valley Day 11 - 7/22/2026 - Monument Valley / Durango Day 12 - 7/23/2026 - Durango Day 13 - 7/24/2026 - Durango Day 14 - 7/25/2026 - Durango Day 15 - 7/26/2026 - Durango / Glenwood Springs Day 16 - 7/27/2026 - Glenwood Springs Day 17 - 7/28/2026 - Glenwood Springs / Moab Day 18 - 7/29/2026 - Moab Day 19 - 7/30/2026 - Moab Day 20 - 7/31/2026 - Moab Day 21 - 8/1/2026 - Moab Day 22 - 8/2/2026 - Moab / Vernal Day 23 - 8/3/2026 - Vernal / Grand Teton Day 24 - 8/4/2026 - Grand Teton Day 25 - 8/5/2026 - Grand Teton / Cody Day 26 - 8/6/2026 - Cody / Yellowstone Day 27 - 8/7/2026 - Yellowstone Day 28 - 8/8/2026 - Yellowstone Day 29 - 8/9/2026 - Yellowstone Day 30 - 8/10/2026 - Yellowstone / Salt Lake City Day 31 - 8/11/2026 - Salt Lake City / Bryce Canyon Day 32 - 8/12/2026 - Bryce Canyon / Zion Day 33 - 8/13/2026 - Zion Day 34 - 8/14/2026 - Zion Day 35 - 8/15/2026 - Zion / Las Vegas Day 36 - 8/16/2026 - Las Vegas Day 37 - 8/17/2026 - Las Vegas / Los Angeles Day 38 - 8/18/2026 - Los Angeles Day 39 - 8/19/2026 - Los Angeles / Brussels Day 40 - 8/20/2026 - Brussels / Home
We’ll be alternating between house swaps, motels, and campgrounds. I’ve booked all the accommodations (except the campground at Bryce since sunset bookings open only 14 days in advance) and the first activities, as well as the most touristy ones.
I’m currently putting together my day-by-day roadbook and having some trouble planning certain days, like in LA or Las Vegas. Choosing hikes isn’t easy either—it’s tough to decide!
We’re really excited but could definitely use your help with choices and optimizations!!

Hello.
I’d like to travel along I-15N from San Diego to Las Vegas with my mom, who’s 67. We’ve explored Northern California and the California Coast over the past two years and now want to continue through the desert.
There are several attractions along the way: - Mormon Rocks - Desert Discovery Center and visit the Old Woman meteorite - Joshua Tree National Park - Mojave Desert - Mojave National Preserve - Anza-Borrego Desert State Park - Silverwood Lake
My mom has back issues that prevent her from hiking or walking on trails with elevation changes. Is it possible to visit these places by car, or are the routes flat enough?
I’d love for her to experience the desert with an itinerary adapted to her condition. I’m also open to other points of interest that aren’t mentioned. We have 3-4 days for the trip, so we’re not in a rush—just want to explore.
Thanks so much. The trip would be in fall 2026

Hi there,
I’d love to take a road trip and visit Nova Scotia. I’d appreciate some info on the best cities to see and the most interesting spots. The trip should last about 10 to 15 days, staying in hotels or motels. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
Quick question—I’m heading to New York soon and I’d love to know if you guys have any recommendations for websites where I can buy concert tickets?

Hi there,
We’re being relocated to Saint Pierre and Miquelon. We’ll be taking the flight from Nantes to Montreal and then from Montreal to Saint Pierre. Could you recommend a hotel near the departure terminal that allows dogs?
Thanks!

Hi,
My 16-year-old son is flying to Grand Rapids with other kids his age. There’s a layover in Detroit. There’s no unaccompanied minor service available. Is it pretty easy to navigate Detroit Airport to catch the connecting flight to Grand Rapids (domestic flight)? There are several of them who speak English well.
Thanks for your replies,
Good evening, everyone! 🙂
Just a few last questions to wrap up our Lake Tahoe visit plans.
**Parking:** We’d like to walk to Eagle Falls and then Eagle Lake. I’ve spotted two parking lots that seem close to each other and give access to the trailhead. Where and how do we pay for entry to Emerald Bay State Park and Inspiration Point?
**Viewpoints on the East Side:** Are most of the viewpoints (Balancing Rock, Granite Cave, Bonsai Rock, etc.) right by the road, or do you have to hike to reach them?
**Donner Memorial State Park:** Is it worth making a detour to Truckee to visit this park and the Truckee historic downtown?
Thanks in advance for your tips! 🙂

Hi there. I'm shocked by the price of the Upper Antelope Canyon tour—$175 for less than an hour… You might say, "if you can’t afford it…" But the real question is whether it’s really worth it, because $350 for two makes me feel like I’m getting ripped off. For those who’ve done both Lower and Upper, can you tell me if the price difference is really justified? Thanks
Hi everyone! 🙂
As you can see, we're heading back from September 6th to the 27th.
Everything’s booked for September—flights, accommodations, and the car. As I plan, I’ll be asking the experts for help. This is our second trip to California, but most of the stops are new to us.
We’ll start directly from San Francisco to our first overnight stop, Davis, before heading to Lassen Volcanic Park for 4 nights. Our flight lands at 12:50 PM.
Here’s our itinerary: Day 1: Davis – overnight stop Day 2: Red Bluff – exploring Lassen Volcanic Park (scenic drive to Lake Helen) Day 3: Susanville – scenic drive through the park via the South Entrance, points of interest, and hikes Day 4: Susanville – Cinder Cone and Painted Dunes hike Day 5: Susanville – Warner Valley (hikes) Day 6: South Lake Tahoe Day 7: South Lake Tahoe Day 8: Mammoth Lake Day 9: Mammoth Lake Day 10: El Portal via Tioga Road Day 11: El Portal Day 12: El Portal Day 13: Oakhurst Day 14: Miramonte Day 15: Three Rivers Day 16: Three Rivers Day 17: Coalinga Day 18: Monterey Day 19: Monterey Day 20: San Francisco Day 21: San Francisco Day 22: Departure
For hikes in Lassen Volcanic Park, I’ve planned: Bumpass Hell, Cold Boiling Lake (Day 2) Paradise Meadow (maybe not going all the way), Devastated Area, and the loop around Reflection and Manzanita Lakes (Day 3) Cinder Cone and Painted Dunes (Day 4) Devil’s Kitchen and Boiling Spring Lake (Day 5)
I’ve read there are trails to access the trailheads for Cinder Cone (11 km) and Warner Valley. Are these easy trails for an SUV? Are there any other must-see spots or things we shouldn’t miss?
That’s where I’m at for now. Thanks for your replies, and have a great evening! Marcalamar 🙂

Hi everyone,
I’m a total USA addict. I’ve already done several road trips, including the East Coast and West Coast. I’m here today because I’m planning to go back for another road trip on the West Coast. Possibly with one of my sisters and a couple of friends. It’s still just a plan for now, but I’m working on an itinerary in the meantime. Ideally, I’d leave in 2026, but I don’t have the exact dates yet—maybe April-May or September-October. My last trip to the West Coast was in September 2014. We went for 2 weeks, but this time it’d be 3 weeks. What made me want to go back was simply a colleague who just left today. As I’m writing this, he’s on the plane. I’m so happy for him, but now all I can think about is going back.
Since I recently went to NY, I noticed that prices have really gone up. I assume the same is true for the West Coast? For 2 people over 3 weeks, what budget should I expect? We’re the type to watch our spending and find great tips. I think we’ll arrive in San Francisco like the first time and leave from either Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
Thanks to everyone for your advice and help.

Thanks for advising me on the booking—should I reserve a room in the hotel or go for a cabin for the best view?
Should I get breakfast or not?
What do you think of the restaurant?
Hello, if the off-the-beaten-path enthusiasts are still around 😉, I’d love some info on tackling these trails. I’m not super familiar with the rules, risks, or what to expect—I’m looking for firsthand experience from folks who’ve done it on their own once or multiple times.
Hi everyone!
I’m planning a week-long family trip to NYC in October 2026. The focus is on museums and soaking up the New York vibe. I’ve been checking Airbnb, but the prices in Manhattan are through the roof. Since I don’t know NYC well, is it "wise" to look outside Manhattan? Any neighborhoods you’d recommend?
Hello,
After our first trip to the West, we’d love to go back to see other must-see spots!
The stay would be from May 11 to 20, 2026—it’s short, but hey...
M11: Lyon to Las Vegas (overnight in Vegas) T12: Route 66 – overnight in Grand Canyon (GC) W13: Visit GC – overnight in Page Th14: Visit Antelope Canyon / Horseshoe Bend – overnight in Monument Valley (MV) F15: Visit MV – overnight in Moab Sa16: Visit Arches / Dead Horse Point – overnight in Bryce Su17: Visit Bryce – overnight in Zion M18: Visit Zion / Valley of Fire – overnight in Vegas Tu19: Return flight
What do you think? Could we add one more night somewhere? We’re not big hikers, so we’ll mostly explore the parks using shuttles.
Also, we’re all set—passports are good. Do you think one classic Visa card and one premium Visa card will be enough for coverage?
Thanks so much for your feedback, and happy holidays!
Christophe

Hi North America forum crew,
Just a little post that might interest some of you:
Travelers to the United States | Photo Now Mandatory Upon Entry and Exit | La Presse
Hi everyone.
I assume many of you already know, but the America the Beautiful annual pass, which was $80, will increase to $250 starting January 1, 2026.
So if you're planning to travel before the end of December 2026, it's in your best interest to buy your pass in December 2025, since it will still cost $80 and be valid until the end of December 2026 if you purchase it in December 2025.
This price increase only applies to non-U.S. residents.
Additionally, for those who planned to visit just one park, a $100 surcharge per person will apply to access a list of 11 national parks... For example, if there are 4 of you in a car, you’ll have to pay $35 + $400, which comes to $435 to visit one of the 11 parks on the list (I don’t have all of them... Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, etc.). Total madness.
The goal is to push people who only visit one park into buying the annual pass.
Last point: free entry days are over for non-residents!
That’s all for now.

Hi everyone, I’m traveling to Los Angeles and would like to rent a vehicle at the airport. However, I have a Boursobank Ultim deferred debit card, so I’d love to know if it’s possible for those who’ve experienced this recently. Thanks for the info!
Hi VF community,
I’m planning a week in S.F. in April 2026 and I can’t figure out how to tell the cable cars—of which I understand there are three lines—apart from the trams, which I think number seven. I can’t find their individual numbers or routes anywhere.
Could someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks in advance.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2026 full of amazing travels. Cheers, Régine

Hi,
I’m planning a road trip through the American national parks starting from Denver in June 2026.
The price of the pass is jumping from 80 € to 250 € on January 1st, 2026!!!
Is it possible to buy the pass online before the end of the year to lock in the 80 € rate? If so, where and how do I go about it?
Thanks for your tips.

Hey everyone!
We just finished 9 days in the American West and wanted to share our experience because we had an amazing time.
I know some of you might ask, why use an agency? Honestly, we didn’t really feel like doing all the driving and planning, especially since we didn’t know the area at all. And since our English isn’t great, having French-speaking guides was a big comfort.
We found Emmanuelle and Isabelle, and wow, they were fantastic. It was just the two of us with them, so it was a truly VIP, ultra-personalized experience. They treated us like royalty from start to finish. These two live in Las Vegas and know the region like the back of their hand. They told us they’ve spent over 15 years exploring every corner of the American West, and it really shows. Their knowledge of geology, park history, and local anecdotes is just impressive. It’s nothing like someone reciting a memorized script. They answer all your questions and really adapt to what you want to see or do.
What we really loved: the vehicle was super comfortable, and the little details made a difference—like snacks and even a homemade cake! Though, to be fair, we devoured the cake right away, so that counts.
Since they know the sites inside out, they took us at the right times to avoid crowds. So we could enjoy peaceful picnics at Grand Canyon viewpoints without being packed in with 200 people. Plus, on top of the must-see spots, they showed us some hidden gems that were absolutely stunning—places we never would’ve found on our own. They’re true locals who know all the best tips.
The service was really personalized. They adapted to our pace and preferences, and we could stop whenever we wanted to take photos. It’s the luxury of being in a small private group—you’re not just a number on a big bus. In short, we really felt like we were traveling with friends rather than professional guides. Everything’s included in the price (hotel pickup, meals, park entries, etc.), so the value for money is fair.
We loved it so much that we’re already planning to come back next year to explore other areas with them. I think we’ve caught the American West bug—it’s all we can think about, and we can’t wait to return.
If you’re looking for a French-speaking tour with real personalized service and guides who know the region like no one else, we highly recommend them. We had unforgettable moments. They also design road trips for those who don’t want a guide. And they handled our hotel reservations in Las Vegas too. If you want genuine advice from friendly locals, we’re giving them a 200% recommendation!

Hello,
I’m currently looking for well-located hotels near points of interest in the cities below. I’ve found a few, but the prices are really high. Could any of you share some great addresses in the following cities? - Los Angeles - Las Vegas - San Francisco
Also, do you have a preferred airline for domestic flights? If so, which one?
Thanks so much, and have a great day, everyone!
Gertjan
