National Parks annual pass purchase in Las Vegas

[smithlane]

We are off to Vegas in a couple of weeks and will be going to the Grand Canyon and Death Valley NP whilst there. We are also going to California this summer and staying in Yosemite so because of this I thought it will work out cheaper to buy the NP annual pass. Where can we buy it in Vegas or can we get it from Death Valley which will be our first NP we go to? Also thinking of driving to Red Rock Canyon, does it cover there too?

I dont think there is a manned entrance to Death Valley from Vegas. When we visited in October there was a machine to buy tickets (I assume this was just day tickets, we already had an America The Beautiful Pass so didnt need one). I would think you could buy one at the visitor centre further on into DV. Alternatively it may be possible to get a day ticket deducted from your annual pass purchase at a later date (but dont quote me on that! ). Red Rock Canyon website redrockcanyonlv/fees/ states that it accepts the pass too altho it is not listed on the Passes website.

We bought ours at Grand Canyon entrance. The visitor centre at Death Valley definitely sells them too.
