I'll second the recommendations for both the Hotel del Coronado and Balboa Park
in San Diego. I also like the Old Town Historic Park, and the nearby Mormon
Battalion Historic Site. But I also visited several battlefields during the
150th anniversary of the Civil War, so your mileage may vary.
If you go through Flagstaff (just a guess), the Lowell Observatory there is
where Pluto was discovered.
In Sedona there's a *lot* of t-shirt shops and similar touristy stores, with
New Age stylings scattered about. It snowed a fair amount of the time I was
there, so what outdoor stuff I did was limited to hiking not far off road
between Sedona and Oak Creek (to the south), but jeep tours and/or aerial tours
are options worth researching. On the off chance that church architecture is
your thing, check out the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Tuzigoot National Monument
(preserved pueblo), is about a 40 minute drive west of Sedona. There may be
other ancient sites closer to your route between Sedona and the Coachella
Valley.

My favorite places to take tourists visiting San Diego are the Hotel Del
Coronado and Balboa Park. I'm not sure if the Chuck Jones Gallery is still in
the Gaslamp District, but they always used to have some cool animation cells
and artwork. La Jolla is probably the best touristy-type beach in San Diego
with lots of nearby places to eat (Ocean Beach is basically the stoner beach
and Pacific Beach is the place to go bar-hopping near sand). If you have to
choose among the San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, or Sea World, I'd recommend
the Wild Animal Park (though the zoo is adjacent to Balboa Park).
As for Vegas, aside from the Deep Fried Twinkies on Fremont Street, I got
nothin' positive to say about the place.

Okay here's my usual request. This trip will be in September 2016. Idea is
to land in Vegas, do grand Canyon, Sedona, Coachella valley , then head to
San Diego. Fly out of San Diego.
Opinions and suggestions welcome on things to see. Time frame is ten days.
My only knowledge of San Diego is from down in our rendezvous..... the zoo
opening.
Thanks everyone.
