Try the experience of flying up to Chiriaco Summit, where Cessna meets Harley Davidson!
If you do get up to Montery fly the coastal route up to SanFrancisco: you can drop in to Half Moon Bay for lunch,then on to Napa.
The SFO controllers positively urge you to do the Bay tour and flying alongside the Golden Gate Bridge on the way to Napa Ca. is something else.
We were rewarded with the view of a buzzard ripping the g**s out of a sizeable snake on the taxiway at Napa as we rolled by.
At Napa they'll fix you a hotel and/or Car or you can tour the wine country by air, before dropping down the central valley via Harris Ranch to Van Nuys.
Enjoy it!
Edited to add you don't say how long you're there:
I should imagine that if you're aiming for 100 hours you will be there for at least 2 weeks:
In which case Las Vegas is an option, but go to N Las Vegas Apt rather than McCarran.
From there you can do the Grand Canyon, or even land at Death Valley (Furnace Creek) but don't forget to take a photo of your altimeter reading minus 200ft on the ground.
