bonjour apres avoir regarde un peu sur booking et autres sites je n'arrive pas à savoir ou dormir tellement il y a de choix et de difference de tarif !! nous aurons une voiture donc evidement parking de pref gratuit et internet mais visiblement c payant partout!! j'aimerai aussi voir le spectacle d'eau au bellagio faut il reserver à l'avance? merci de vos infos a bientot
salut si tu parle des fontaine devant le bellagio ya rien a réserver tu passe devant et tu attend 😎
hello,
non seulement les spectacles des fontaines de Bellagio sont gratuits (tout comme les Sirens at Treasure Island, Fremont Street Experience, etc...) mais tous les parkings des hôtels/casinos sont gratuits !
pour le choix de l'hôtel, le choix dépend de ton budget ! Excalibur (prendre des chambres "remodeled"), Flamingo, Bellagio... le choix est super vaste... (faire une petite recherche sur le forum, le sujet est évoqué régulièrement 😉).

Hi
S'il s'agit du spectacle du Cirque du Soleil "O", il vaut mieux réserver à l'avance, sur le site du Cirque du Soleil ou sur celui du Bellagio
Les jets d'eau à l'extérieur, c'est gratuit et il y a un nouveau spectacle toutes les 1/2 heures ( peut-être même 20 minutes) à partir de la tombée de la nuit
Concernant l'hôtel, il est préférable de réservé directement sur le site de l'hôtel . Le Bellagio pour moi, fait partir des hôtels chers pour le Strip (pas très chers, comme le Venetian)
Il FAUT regarder le calendrier des tarifs de l'hôtel, ça peut changer tous les jours dans le rapport de 1 à 10! Toujours plus cher les vendredi et samedi
Les parking sont gratuit; préférer le Valet parking, même s'il vaut mieux donner un pourboire quand on récupère sa voiture.
Internet est payant dans les grands hôtels de las Vegas

Par contre avis aux connaisseurs : Est ce que dans le hall de l'hotel je peux capter le Wifi gratuit
Si non savais vous a combien cela s'eleve par jour et si l'on ai obliger de le prendre tous les jours ? merci 🙂
merci c'est tres gentil avec plaisir
Hi
Il semble que la plupart des hôtels de la chaine (Luxor, Excalibur, MGM, Circus Circus, Monte Carlo, New York New York) fasse les mêmes promos en ce moment.
25%, faut voir sur quel prix, car le MGM commence à 70$ (HT) en juin

Tu n'auras pas de wifi gratuit dans les gros hôtels à Las Vegas, en moyenne compte 15 à 20$ la journée!!!!
Nous nous étions connecté une fois durant notre séjour au Mc Do qui est à côté du Circus Circus, la connexion est gratuite à condition que tu consommes, mais bon vu les prix des conso, c'est donné! surtout que tu peux te resservir en boisson.
Pour voir les galeries de photos allez sur mon profil
A ne pas oublier: Vous avez accès au WI-FI gratuit dans toutes les bibliothèques des villes au U.S.A et au Canada. Vous pouvez utiliser les ordi. de la biblio., ou apporter votre portable.
Je préfère réussir ma vie plutôt que de réussir dans la vie
Oui c'est vrai, mais les conso sont pas à volonté dans les bibliothèques 😛 !!

En tout cas, ce n'est pas à Las Vegas que j'irai dormir dans un Super 8,
même pour profiter de la Wifi gratuite.
Tout le plaisir, c'est de profiter d'un grand hôtel du Strip
pas forcement plus cher

Si vous utilisez l'ordi de la biblio, normalement vous avez 1 heure, celà dépend le l'achalandage. Avec votre portable, il n'y à pas de limite.

Cher Zitounet: J'aimerais bien savoir ce que vous avez a reprocher au super 8. Ici au Québec nous avons un nom pour cela, nous appelons ça du NOMBRILISME 😛
Je préfère réussir ma vie plutôt que de réussir dans la vie
moi je pense comme Zitounet ! a las vegas je préfère un gros complexe !!!
mais je n'est rien contre les super8😄
Ah ouais quand meme ! 15 a 20 $ dollars la journée c'est pas donné !
Bon ben je vais laisser le pc a la maison et prendre mon iphone a la place
ça seras beaucoup plus simple et plus transportable pour capter le wifi gratuit dans les differents café
Merci pour les reponses
prendre mon iphone a la place
Pense bien à désactiver le réseau de données, sinon attention à la facture data!!! Après pour ce qui est de laisser ton pc à la maison et de ne prendre que l'iphone, pourquoi pas, tout dépend de pourquoi tu voulais prendre ton pc Si c'est juste pour consulter les mails une fois tout les 2 ou 3 jours, l'iphone suffit par contre si c'était pour récupérer tes photos, les envoyer sur internet etc..., faire des recherches pour réserves tes futurs hôtels, voir les trucs à faire sur place etc... (même si ça c'est mieux de l'avoir anticiper un peu avant quand même!!!) là il vaut mieux un pc
Nous nous étions parti avec un petit pc (Asus 901) de 9", comme ça tu allies la compacité et la praticité

Sans hésitation Furnace Creek . Si vous avez un peux de temps, Scotty's Castle la visite du chateau et l'histoire de Scotty est un must, vous ne pouvez pas coucher au chateau. Bon voyage 😎
Je préfère réussir ma vie plutôt que de réussir dans la vie
Tu peux aussi aller au Stratosphere hotel (3étoiles), sa spécificité est d'avoir un parc d'attraction à 300 mètres de hauteur !!!

merci a vous tous c'est sympa de donner des infos quand on y est deja allé car franchement ca aide beaucoup je vous remercie tous

Moi je souhaite prendre mon pc portable effectivement mais honnetement payer pour le wifi ca me fais mal au ventre ensuite pour dormir sur las vegas et ds les hotels luxueux c'est un choix mais y restant 2 nuit je prefere mettre mon argent ailleurs c'est quand meme ( enfin pour moi) un gros voyage donc je fais attention quand meme .

puis je quand meme rentrer ds les hotels et faire des photos? merci beaucoup a vous
Oui en effet je n'ai besoin de mon pc que pour envoyer et lire des emails
Et apeller via skype mes enfants
Que veux tu dire par désactiver le réseau de données ?
J'ai vu que sur mon forfait il y avait 2 options
1 c'est l'option monde pour emettre et recevoir des appels : je les desativée
l'autre c'est une option internet usa qui coute 5 euros par jour et je suis limitée en giga
Mais celle ci je l'ai desactivé aussi
Une autre question me vient, si j'enleve carrement ma puce, cela va fonctionner quand meme le wifi sur mon iphone ? Merci pour tes reponses 😉

Vous pouvez visiter tous les hotels, sans problème, allez ou vous voulez, si c'est interdit ils vont vous le dire. Visitez les piscines, les bars, les casinos, les restos, parfois même les salles de spectacles. ETC. Pour les photos, interdit dans les casinos.

ah ok d'accord merci beaucoup
Hi ZOULOU
Ce n'est pas du nombrilisme que de changer de catégorie d'hôtel quand on est à Las Vegas Les Super 8 font parti des chaines de motel que je fréquente souvent dans mes voyages outre-atlantique, mais pour moins cher ou au même prix, je trouve mieux sur le Strip

Va voir directement sur le site du Mirage, tu aura même une réduction en ce moment
Les frais en plus, ce sont sans doute les taxes .
Les prix de base sont toujours hors taxe

nous etions a las vegas il y a deux jours
on etait tres tente par un bel hotel casino, mais les tarifs ne rentraient vraiment pas dans notre budget, donc on a opte pour le travelodge il est situe sur le strip, vraiment tres bien place vu tous les kilometres que nous avons faits a pied ..... les chambres etaient nickels, ptit dej compris et wifi ce n est pas un hotel grande classe mais c etait deja tres sympa, on a pu garder de largent pour profiter des spectacles et des casinos ..
le spectacle devant le bellagio est gratuit, toutes les 1/2h il faut juste attendre devant
profitez bien !!

Je te conseille de réactiver l'option monde (ça te permettra d'utiliser ton iphone là bas en cas de soucis, même si les communications te seront facturées assez chère, mais en cas d'urgence on regarde pas trop à la facture!)
Je en sais pas si tu peux utiliser le wifi si tu n'as pas la puce dans le téléphone, essaye en France, ça te donneras le même résultat! tu enlève ta puce et tu essaye de te connecter en wifi!
C'est sûr que c'est une bonne idée, comme ça tu réactives l'option monde et si jamais tu as besoin d'appeler une fois là bas, tu as juste à remettre ta puce. Mais au moins avec la puce en dehors du téléphone tu es sûr de ne pas faire exploser ta facture à cause des data à l'étranger.

Salut !
Pour le wifi, autre endroit possible, les "Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf", sorte de starbucke californiens. Pareil que pour le applestore, pas besoin de consommer, tu t'assieds pas loin et c'est gratuit ! Sinon, niveau hôtel, je connais le Stratosphère. Un peu excentré sur le strip mais tu peux aller dans la tour gratuitement si tu y dors.

Effectivement en faisant une simulation pour deux nuits il y a 33$ de frais d'établissements (resort fee) comprenant entre autre (la flemme de traduire):
complimentary internet access (in room), Cardio Center access, daily newspapers, two bottled waters delivered daily to your room, robes in your room, complimentary notary service at the Business Center, complimentary printing of boarding passes, complimentary faxes and unlimited local and toll-free calls.
C'est une pratique que je ne connaissais pas 😮

Bonjour,
Imaginatifs, quand même ces établissements!
Leur trouvaille remonte à deux ou trois ans en arrière. Et semble pour le moment circonscrite à Las Vegas.
Ces dernières années je n'ai pas eu à payer nulle part pour imprimer mes cartes d'embarquement, par exemple.
Personnellement je trouve la pratique choquante d'autant plus qu'auparavant tout ce que couvre ces nouveaux frais était une gracieuseté de la maison. On ne se posait même pas la question.
D'autre part, s'il faut commencer à perdre du temps à trouver des "wi-fi spots" aussi bien profiter du service inclus dans ces frais d'établissements. Même chose pour les appels téléphoniques à la maison.
Par chance, on a toujours le choix de fréquenter ou pas ces établissements; ailleurs dans des établissements moins "glamour", mais tout aussi convenable il n'y a pas de frais d'établissement.

Histoire de te contredire, je suis aller au super 8 à Vegas...... une semaine de plusieurs congres, ou le prix des hotels s'etaient envolés...
J'aurais pu trouvé au downtown pour le meme prix, mais j'avoue que c'est pas mon coin favori ( 1h ou 2 me suffisent) ... Et pour finir, j'ai trouvé ce jour là un gros avantage au super 8 : la piscine etait ouverte jour et nuit, et ne nous etant pas encore remis du decalage horaire, à 4h du mat, la piscine pour nous , c'etait top...
C'est mon grand regret dans les hotels du strip : leur piscine qui ferme à 20h alors qu'il fait encore 30° à minuit.

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!
