Best Time of Year to Go
Spring and fall are usually the sweet spot for comfortable temperatures and clear desert views. Summer can be very hot (especially mid-day), and winter nights can get chilly. If you’re aiming for a classic convertible car tour experience, we’ll help you pick the best time of day and route for comfort.
Sample Los Angeles to Las Vegas Itinerary (Customizable)
Every group is different – and every Classic Experiences guide is a little different too. If time allows, your guide may recommend an extra stop that fits your interests (scenery, history, food, or photos).
1) Pick-up in Los Angeles
We’ll pick you up from your hotel, home, or another convenient location. After a quick hello and luggage load-in, we head out of the city and onto the open road.
2) Desert viewpoint or quick photo pullout (optional)
Depending on the route and traffic, we can build in a quick scenic pullout for photos and fresh air.
3) Route 66 flavor: Barstow / Victorville area (optional)
Want that classic Americana moment? We can add a Route 66-style stop for a stretch break, coffee, and photos. If you enjoy history, a quick museum visit can be a great add-on.
4) Fun mid-trip stop (choose one)
Popular options include:
- A classic roadside diner for lunch or a snack.
- A quick walk-through at a desert attraction or historic stop.
- A photo stop with iconic desert scenery.
5) Mojave Desert drive
This is where the drive really opens up. You’ll see wide desert stretches, rugged mountain lines, and those classic Southwest vibes. If you’re in the convertible, this is the part that feels like a movie.
6) Seven Magic Mountains (optional)
If you’d like a quick, iconic photo stop just outside Las Vegas, this colorful desert art installation is a favorite. It’s an easy add-on and a fun way to start your Vegas album.
7) Arrive in Las Vegas
Enjoy a seamless tour from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with drop-off at your hotel, dining spot, or chosen destination, plus optional first-day planning to help you settle in stress-free.
Want to Make It a Longer Adventure?
Here are a few upgrade-style add-ons we can build into your day, depending on timing:
- Scenic detour through Palm Springs (longer day; great for mid-century vibes and a relaxed lunch stop).
- Mojave National Preserve-style scenery (for nature lovers who want more desert time).
- Hoover Dam stop (best if you’re continuing past Vegas or building a larger Southwest itinerary).
Las Vegas Private Tours After Arrival
Once you’re in town, we can keep the momentum going with a Las Vegas private tour that matches your style – classic Vegas highlights, hidden gems, or a scenic escape from the Strip.
- Las Vegas highlights at night (best for the lights and energy).
- Downtown/Fremont Street + local photo spots.
- Red Rock Canyon (a beautiful nature break close to the city).
- Neon Museum (iconic signs and great photography).
