I am trying to figure out whether to fly into Las Vegas (no stops) or LAX (change planes in Las Vegas) and what we'll do after four nights in DL. In July we will have a 6 year-old boy and a nearly 2 year-old boy.
I want them to experience a bit of desert, "old west", and maybe some good old 1960s California tourist kitsch. Would the drive from Vegas to Anaheim be just flat boring desert or is it pretty desert? Is there a tourist spot or two along the way, like the cars in the ground or the fig ice cream stand?
I am also looking into Yosemite and it looks like there is a steam train there. Has anyone done the activities around Wawona? Do you know of any good "old west" towns? Ghost towns? Cowboy recreation towns?
Thanks!
