Itinerary

At 10:00 AM, depart from the Las Vegas Strip and begin an extraordinary journey into the wild landscapes of the American Southwest. Traveling across Nevada's vast desert terrain, we head toward one of the hottest and driest natural wonders on Earth - Death Valley National Park. A paradise for photographers and a must-visit for travelers seeking dramatic scenery, Death Valley offers landscapes unlike anywhere else.
By late afternoon, watch as the setting sun paints the colorful hills and brilliant salt flats in shades of gold and orange, transforming the desert into a surreal, otherworldly canvas. As night falls, enjoy stargazing under a clear sky, with chances to see the Milky Way and countless stars. On the return trip, we'll make a special stop at one of Las Vegas's most iconic landmarks - the MSG Sphere. From the outside, enjoy its dazzling light displays and futuristic design, and capture memorable photos of this spectacular attraction before concluding the day's adventure.
Death Valley National Park Sign (Approx. 15 minutes)
Marking the symbolic gateway to Death Valley, this wooden sign engraved with "Death Valley National Park" has become a must-stop photo opportunity for countless visitors. Behind the sign stretches a backdrop of vast desert and rugged mountains, perfectly capturing the raw spirit of the American West.
Dante's View (Approx. 30 minutes)
At nearly 1,700 meters (5,475 feet) above sea level, Dante's View offers one of the most breathtaking perspectives in Death Valley. From this ridge-top lookout, the entire valley stretches out below, with the brilliant white of Badwater Basin's salt flats contrasting against the rugged desert mountains. On clear days, it's possible to spot both Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States, and Badwater Basin, the continent's lowest point - a rare contrast of extremes in a single vista. Renowned for its otherworldly beauty, Dante's View has also appeared in Star Wars. Today, it remains a favorite stop for travelers, photographers, and nature lovers seeking sweeping vistas and a true sense of the desert's scale.
Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes (Approx. 30 minutes)
Located in the heart of Death Valley, the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes are the most accessible dunes in the park and a popular backdrop for Hollywood films such as Star Wars and Transformers. Rising up to 30 meters (100 feet), the golden dunes shift with the wind, forming graceful, ever-changing patterns across the desert. Here, visitors can freely wander, take photos, or simply sit atop the dunes and feel the fine sand  slipping through their fingers - an experience that feels like stepping into a desert dreamscape.
Artists Palette (Approx. 30 minutes)
Tucked along the winding Artists Drive, Artists Palette is a hillside renowned for its vibrant mineral colors. Shades of pink, green, yellow, purple, and turquoise spill across the rocks, formed by centuries of volcanic deposits and oxidation. The view is especially magical near sunset, when soft light enriches the tones, giving the slopes a painted look.
Zabriskie Point (Approx. 30 minutes · Sunset Viewing)
Zabriskie Point, named after early mining pioneer Christian Zabriskie, is one of Death Valley's most famous viewpoints. From here, golden ridges and dramatic badlands spread out like a sea of waves carved by time and erosion. As the sun sets, the ridgelines shift through shades of amber, orange, and crimson, creating a breathtaking play of light and shadow. It's often called one of the park's most poetic moments - and it's no surprise the site has appeared in several films, including Good Will Hunting and The Chorus.
Badwater Basin (Approx. 30 minutes · Stargazing at Night)
At 86 meters (282 feet) below sea level, Badwater Basin is the lowest point in North America. Stretching endlessly into the horizon, the vast salt flats resemble a frozen white sea. Walking across the crystalline surface, you'll hear a subtle crunch beneath your feet, as if stepping onto land where time itself has stood still. The name "Badwater" comes from early explorers who found the spring water here too salty to drink.
After dark, the wide-open flats turn into a stargazer's paradise: with no light pollution and unobstructed horizons, the Milky Way and star trails often appear in dazzling clarity, sometimes mirrored on the salt below.
MSG Sphere (Approx. 20 minutes · Photo Stop)
Opened in 2023, the MSG Sphere has instantly become Las Vegas's newest architectural marvel. Towering 112 meters high and 157 meters wide, it is the largest spherical structure in the world, wrapped in more than 1.2 million LED lights that create dazzling ultra-high-definition displays. From a distance, the Sphere can transform into a glowing planet, a giant basketball, or even a luminous eye, captivating everyone who passes by. Each evening brings a new light show, making it one of the Strip's most unforgettable sights - well worth a stop for photo. 
END – Tour concludes with return drop-off at your Las Vegas pickup location.
