Get ready for an Old West adventure!

First stop, Chloride, Arizona. This hidden gem has braved the desert since the 1860s. It was a bustling mining town, but when the mines closed, it almost became a ghost town. Today, it's home to about 250 proud residents. Explore antique shops, chat with locals, and soak in the town's artistic vibe.

Next, we'll hit Route 66 to Oatman, Arizona. Picture a ghost town with 150 residents and one mischievous poltergeist, "Oatie the Ghost. " Legend has it he's the spirit of an Irish miner, William Ray Flour. Snap pics of the Black Mountains, meet wild burros, and pose like a cowboy in front of an authentic Route 66 sign.

Then, we're off to El Dorado Canyon, an 18th-century mining town with a Hollywood history. We'll drive through the Mojave Desert before returning to the glittering lights of Las Vegas.
