Hi,
Apologies for yet another LA/Vegas thread...
We will be visiting some family in the summer, they live in Calabasas, LA - whilst we are in California, I'd also like to visit Las Vegas and maybe San Francisco. I'd like to make the most of the trip as we will not have the kids with us!
We will be be in the US of A for 2 weeks and 2 days (16 days) - do you think a multi-destination trip is possible, without feeling that we've spent the entire holiday on the move?
My plan was to use the hire car and drive between destinations. In my head, this seems quite 'roadtrip' cool, however, I've been told by some people that the drive to both Vegas ans SF is pretty boring once the novelty has worn off?
I am planning to hire a convertible Mustang, if that has a bearing on the type of roads etc.
Pretty much decided that in Vegas we will be staying in the Bellagio - main reason being because that is where I've always wanted to stay!
Any must see/do things in either San Francisco or LA?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice...

Hi,
Thanks for the info.
I'm really leaning towards doing the 'loop' - it seems the most logical & efficient way to see/go where we want, while taking in some amazing sights along the way.
While we are in Las Vegas, we'll do the usual stuff - gamble, shows, shop etc. I'll probably shoot some guns, while the Mrs. hits the spa.
In San Francisco I'd like to do an Alcatraz tour, I'm told the night tours are better and I really need to book in advance. I like the idea of hiring a bike and riding around some of the famous streets and across the bridge.
Also, I want to be in San Francisco on a Saturday to do the Crissy Field Parkrun - Has anyone else done this?
What's the best bet for a hotel in San Francisco? We're not hugely fussed on luxury, just somewhere clean and well located to use as a base.
Am I missing out any 'must see/do' places or activities?
