10/22 Afternoon arrival LAS
10/23 LAS
10/24 LAS
10/25 Day trip: Death Valley
10/26 Drive via Kingman to the South Rim, stay in the area
10/27 Drive to Horseshoe Bend, stay in Page
10/28 Antelope Canyon, Drive via Monument Valley to Moab, stay in Moab
10/29 Arches National Park, stay in Moab
10/30 Canyonlands National Park, Corona Arch, stay in Moab
10/31 Drive via Goblins Valley to Capitol Reef National Park, stay in Torrey
11/1 Drive to Bryce Canyon National Park, stay close to Bryce Canyon
11/2 Drive to Zion National Park, stay in St. George/Hurricane/Springdale
11/3 Drive via Valley of Fire back to LAS, stay in LAS
11/4 Evening departure LAS

Does that make sense? Are there any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
A bit ambitious! Death Valley, for example, is a huge area, and the driving time from Las Vegas is at least 2 hours, 30 minutes each way.

There's nothing to see in Las Vegas, especially if you've already been there; perhaps cut to one day?

Overall: lots and lots of driving, and relatively little time to see anything in depth at the destinations. As soon as you take a hike, at say Bryce Canyon, a half a day or more is occupied, and reduces the time available for driving to Zion.

Also, you omitted Cedar Breaks National Monument between Bryce and Zion, a less-visited park with pretty views.
