*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Few people realize that Las Vegas is just 120 miles from the Grand Canyon. Or, more to the point, it's a quick 2.5-hour bus ride to the Skywalk.
Near Vegas
It's this proximity to the best of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World that has these bus excursions selling out nearly daily during summer when travelers flood into Vegas.
To beat the rush, I typically recommend that you book your tour at least a week in advance. Of course, you're welcome to do so within 48 hours but you'll run the risk of paying more or getting a sub par trip.
There are two rims that travelers visit when it comes to the National Park: The West Rim and the South Rim. From Las Vegas, you can visit both. For the purposes of this article, I'll be talking about the packages that go to the West.
Value
Bear in mind that these tours depart once a day in the morning and average about 12 hours in total when the day is done. Further, these trips include free hotel pick up and drop off, lunch and all taxes and fees, which makes them an excellent value.
The West Rim trip takes you past Lake Mead and does a Hoover Dam photo-stop on the Arizona side. In nearly all cases it will be a photo stop because staying for a full tour of Hoover Dam would make it nearly impossible to experience the Canyon.
Which begs the question: If you want to do Hoover, do you really want to the Canyon and vice versa? Because you can't successfully do both the same day, I suggest you do both on separate days or stick with just one destination.
VIP
The bus takes you to the bus concourse at the West Rim where you'll get out and head to the Skywalk. For the most part, you're package will have VIP tickets in it, which means you can cut to the head of the line. How long you decide to actually stay on the glass bridge is up to you.
These bus tours come with up to 2.5 hours to explore the top. I suggest that after the Skywalk you catch one of the free shuttles and go to Guano Point. It's there where you'll get a great view of the Colorado River, which lies at the very bottom of the Canyon.
I'd also spend time at Eagle Point and in, near and around the Skywalk complex, which hosts multiple gift stores, the Hualapai Cultural Center and more. I also recommend stopping by Hualapai Ranch, which is a fictitious Old West Style town replete with gunfights and cowboys (the kids love it).
Conclusion
As you can see, the West Rim is loaded with things to and the bus is the way to do it. In particular, I discussed the West Rim bus with Skywalk and believe this is the best option if you want to see the Glass Bridge as it's more expensive to add it to your package upon arrival. Just make sure to pre-book it a week in advance in order to secure a seat and save money.
