A great high school graduation trip doesn't have to mean going to an exotic getaway. The Western United States has several attractions and vacation spots, that even picky high school graduates won't want to miss.

Las Vegas-

Vegas may not seem like the ideal destination for the under aged, but there are actually a variety of things to do there. Go to a show, sky diving, on the Big Shot ride at the Stratosphere, and witness the wonders of "The Strip." Free spectacles on The Strip include: The Bellagio's sound and light show, the Mirage hotel's Volcano eruption, and The Treasure Island hotel and Casino battleship show. Entertainment choices abound in Las Vegas, and so does the food.

Disneyland and California Adventures-

What better place to celebrate graduation then the happiest place on earth? Vow to see all the sites at Disneyland and California Adventures, and make the trip a few days. The Disneyland Hotel can get pricey. If you can't afford to stay there, there are several other more cost effective places in Anaheim to choose from. While you're in Anaheim, don't miss out on an Anaheim Angels game.

Tijuana-

Tijuana is one of the few places in Mexico that you may not need plane tickets to visit. The Mariott is the nicest place to stay in Tijuana, and is known to be affordable. Attractions include bullfighting, dog racing, and of course, the night life. Ciro's Arcade is also a fun and unique place to buy gifts, just brush up on your bartering skills before you go.

California Coast-
