Default Vegas road trip ?

I'll be in Vegas in a month. I'm planning on renting a 2017 vert vette. Can someone tell me a few nice roads or places to check out. I know we're close to RT 66 . Thanks

Going up mount Charleston is a fun drive. The last time I rented a corvette in Vegas we went to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Drive was not spectacular but that big hole in the ground sure was. There are plenty of nice drives around the Vegas area. Red Rocks, Valley of Fire, ET highway just to name a few. Have a great trip.

You have to go across the dam, maybe stop and take the tour. Visit Laughlin and the lake on the Arizona side. I think Nevada has the best upkeep of their highways by any state, so it should be smooth sailing where ever you go. Forgot about Death Valley. Check that out.

We rented a Jag and went to Red Rock and Hoover dam. I recommend both
