Our favorite activity on the weekends - hiking at Red Rock Canyon. This is one of the most beautiful places in all of Las Vegas, and it is just a few minutes away from the JW Marriott. There are trails for all time allowances, capabilities and goals. It is $7 per car to get into the canyon, but trust us, it's worth it. You can hike or just take the scenic drive and get out for photo ops!

The Fashion Show Mall is our favorite place to shop in Las Vegas! With a huge variety of stores and restaurants, you'll certainly want to make a stop here on your visit to Vegas.
