See the Sights • California Speedway — Host to NASCAR races like the Auto Club 500 and the Sony HD 500, this raceway opened in 1997 and can accommodate more than 90,000 fans. It’s only 40 miles east of Los Angeles, making it a great addition to any itinerary. • Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament — As in days of old, elaborately costumed knights on mighty steeds compete and joust in tournaments of skill and bravery, while cheering on-lookers feast in the King’s Great Hall. Just 30 minutes south of Downtown, guests enjoy a sumptuous four-course meal served by serfs and wenches and are hosted by the King and the beautiful princess. Discount Outlets • Camarillo Premium Outlets — Located 45 minutes north of LA, this outlet center is home to all the best brands — Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole and Polo Ralph Lauren. • Citadel Outlets — The Assyrian theme gives this outlet center a unique atmosphere. The mix of shops and restaurants makes it a great destination for clients with a taste for shopping. • Desert Hills Premium Outlets — About an hour’s drive east of Los Angeles, this outlet center has all the usual suspects and plenty of surprises as well. Theme Parks • Disneyland Resort® — The Magic Kingdom is one of the biggest draws in Southern California and a must-visit for clients with children. • SeaWorld San Diego — Home to the world-famous Shamu killer whales, the orcas at this marine mammal park have perfected the art of performance.
