Gamble on love this Valentine’s Day! Head for romance at the ranch and hot nights in Las Vegas. The Grand Canyon Ranch Resort has teamed up with Virgin Holidays to offer a Valentine’s package which has it all – two romantic nights at the Grand Canyon Ranch Resort and an action-packed three nights at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Just two hours by road from Vegas, the Grand Canyon Ranch Resort (above) is the only working guest ranch on the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. Cosy up in your hand-crafted log cabin, take a horseback safari to see the ranch’s new bison herd, enjoy an evening under the stars around the camp fire and even learn cowboy skills. The ranch makes a great base for getting out and exploring Grand Canyon National Park, Route 66, Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam.
To lift your romantic break to a whole new level book an optional “To The Edge and Beyond” helicopter flight, from $189 (£120) per person, from the ranch to see the wonders of the Grand Canyon from the air. You will swoop down below the Canyon ridge and soar past memorable sights such as Eagle Rock, Horse Flat Canyon and Spirit Mountain.
When in Vegas why not wander down the strip, try your hand at the gaming tables and then, hopefully, spend your winnings on a great show or designer shopping. There’s plenty to see and do in the city which never sleeps, including the new Neon Boneyard Museum, home to over 150 vintage Las Vegas neon signs.
Virgin Holidays offers five nights departing on February 11 from £919 per person. Holiday includes flights with Virgin Atlantic from Gatwick direct to Las Vegas, three nights accommodation at the 4V+ MGM Grand Hotel & Casino followed by two nights at the Grand Canyon Ranch. The price is based on two adults travelling and sharing a standard room on a room only basis and includes car hire.
