Las Vegas, NV

Reno, NV

The allure of Las Vegas is difficult to ignore. You may have heard second-hand tales of jackpot winners, plates of exquisite foods, and never-ending evenings to remember, all staples of the perfect Vegas vacation. However, not every trip to Vegas is perfect, and more often than not, the desert city is inundated with travelers that can impede a signature stay in Sin City. Luckily for flexible travelers, Vegas is not the only gambling city in Nevada. Nearly 450 miles northwest of the desert city of lights and an hour out from the iconic Lake Tahoe sits another, more walkable entertainment hub, its row of casinos rivaling Vegas' own shimmering skyline.

Sedona, AZ

If you've never been to Sedona, Arizona, you're missing out on a wonderful slice of the northern Verde Valley area, where towering red rocks and unique sandstone formations make for picture-perfect landmarks. Conversely, you're also avoiding a traffic nightmare, particularly during the city's peak tourism months of March to May. An estimated three million people visit Sedona annually, which isn't a lot compared to other desert cities like Las Vegas. However, there are only three main routes in and out of the small Arizonan retreat, so you can imagine the traffic that builds up. That's why you might consider leaving the beauty of Sedona behind for the quieter, less chaotic, and idyllic northern Arizona town of Clarkdale.
