Planning a multi-day tour requires a bit more thought, especially when you rely on medical equipment like a CPAP machine for a good night's sleep. We understand that ensuring you have access to a power outlet right next to your bed isn't just a convenience, it's a necessity for your health and comfort.
At Parang Tour, we run small-group tours designed for a relaxed pace and a deep connection to the landscapes. Part of that comfort means knowing the logistics are handled, so you can focus on the experience. This guide provides clear, verified information about the hotel accommodations on our popular 2-night, 3-day Grand Canyon tour, specifically for travelers using CPAP machines.
1. Understanding Our 3-Day Tour Hotel Structure
First, let's clarify what's included. Our 2-night, 3-day Grand Canyon tour from LA includes one night of hotel accommodation provided by us. This is clearly listed in the "Included/Not Included" section on the tour page.
- ✓ Included: Canyon hotel provided (1 night)
- ✕ Not Included: Las Vegas hotel (A Course: Day 1 / B Course: Day 2)
This means on the 3-day itinerary, you will stay in two different hotels: one that we book for you in the Page, AZ area (near the canyons), and one that you book for yourself on the Las Vegas Strip. We'll cover the setup for both.
2. CPAP Setup at Our Provided Canyon Hotel
The hotel we use in the Page area is selected for its proximity to the national parks and its reliable amenities for our guests. While we rotate between a couple of trusted partner hotels based on availability, their room standards for power access are consistent.
Bedside Power Availability
Every room we book comes with standard U.S. 120V power outlets. You will find at least one outlet within easy reach of the bedside table. This is typically on the wall behind or beside the nightstand.
What to Bring
We recommend bringing your CPAP machine's standard power cord and a standard 3-prong (grounded) extension cord (6-10 feet is usually sufficient). This ensures you can set up the machine on your nightstand and still have a comfortable sleeping arrangement, regardless of the outlet's exact placement. The hotels do not provide medical-grade extension cords.
Water for Humidifiers
If your CPAP has a humidifier, you will need to use distilled water. The hotel does not provide this. We recommend purchasing a gallon of distilled water during one of our stops, such as in Barstow or Page, before checking into the hotel for the night.
3. Booking Your Las Vegas Strip Hotel for CPAP Needs
For the night in Las Vegas, you are responsible for booking your own hotel. Our tour provides drop-off and pick-up at hotels on the Las Vegas Main Strip (between The Venetian and Excalibur). Hotels outside this area may incur an additional fee.
How to Ensure a Good Setup
Most major hotels on the Las Vegas Strip are well-equipped for guests with medical devices. However, room configurations can vary.
- Book Directly: When making your reservation, book directly through the hotel's website or call their reservations line.
- Special Request: During the booking process, or immediately after confirming your reservation, contact the hotel's guest services or accessibility department. You can make a specific request for a room with a confirmed power outlet adjacent to the bed. This is a common and reasonable request.
- Confirm at Check-in: Always mention this need again when you check in at the front desk to ensure they assign you an appropriate room.
4. Power on the Tour Vehicle
Your CPAP machine is for overnight use, but you might wonder about charging batteries or other devices during the long, scenic drives. Our tour vehicles are equipped with standard 120V power outlets (and USB ports) available for passenger use. You are welcome to use these to charge any personal electronics or backup battery packs during the journey.
5. A Note on Travel Insurance and Power Reliability
While power outages at our partner hotels are exceedingly rare, they are a remote possibility like anywhere. As noted in our "Not Included" list, traveler's insurance is not part of the tour package.
Our tours are designed to be immersive and relaxing. We believe that knowing the practical details in advance, like where you can plug in your CPAP, is a key part of that relaxation. If you have very specific concerns about your equipment setup, please reach out to us on KakaoTalk before your trip. We're happy to provide any additional clarity we can about the current hotel or your travel day logistics.

Frequently asked
Does the tour price include a hotel for both nights?
No. The tour price includes one night of hotel accommodation provided by us in the Page area (near the canyons). You are responsible for booking your own hotel for the night in Las Vegas. Our vehicle will drop you off and pick you up from your chosen Strip hotel.
Can you guarantee a room with an outlet right next to the bed at the canyon hotel?
While we use partner hotels that have standard rooms with accessible outlets, we cannot guarantee a specific room layout for each guest. We strongly recommend bringing a standard 3-prong extension cord (6-10 feet) to ensure you can set up your CPAP machine comfortably from the bedside outlet to your nightstand.
What should I do to get a suitable room in Las Vegas?
When you book your Las Vegas hotel, contact the hotel directly after booking to make a special request for a room with a confirmed power outlet adjacent to the bed. Mention this again at check-in. We recommend booking a hotel on the Main Strip between The Venetian and Excalibur for included pick-up/drop-off.
Is distilled water provided for CPAP humidifiers?
No, distilled water is not provided. You should plan to purchase a gallon of distilled water during one of our stops in Barstow or Page before we check into the canyon hotel for the night.
What if there's a power outage at the hotel?
Power outages at our partner hotels are very rare. However, as traveler's insurance is not included in our tour package, we recommend all guests—especially those relying on medical equipment—purchase their own comprehensive travel insurance for peace of mind.
