Can't help you much on a seven day road trip... and by canyon, I assume you're talking about the Grand Canyon. But if you're looking for a couple of day-trips in the Vegas area, I'd recommend Valley of Fire, and Red Rock Canyon. Take a picnic, and maybe some hiking shoes, water, and sunblock. It gets toasty in these parts.

You can find plenty of info on the net.

As stated, go to the Valley of Fire NE of Las Vegas off I-15 some 55 minutes away.
Very scenic, lots of turns. Take suncreen and water, you will need it.

Seven days?

Okay, from my limited experience in the area...If I had seven days...Run the area aroung the Grand Canyon. But I'd recommend an airplane or helocopter trip...go see the 'London Bridge' in Lake Havasau (it probably was gone when you were young). Head over to the Red Rock area south of Flagstaff...And enjoy the area. It's hot...I mean HOT. Take lots of WATER. And Drink it...I know how you Brits love your Beer (so do I)...WATER. Drink it even if you aren't thirsty....Trust me on this...Did I say...It's HOT?

Have a great time.

A trip to Death Valley is also nice, a moonscape like area that is extremely hot and dry! It is about 1.5 hr NE of Las Vegas.

July and August are way HOT in the desert.Southern Utah is a short distance to the east,Bryce and Zion are just a couple of many great places to ride to.Take rain gear for PM thunder showers,they usually don't last long.Stick to high alt. Ride AM and PM and drink lots of water every day starting before you leave home. It's all well worth it !
