Although you’re probably in Vegas for gaming, fine dining and relaxation, you’d be remiss if you didn’t add a visit to the Grand Canyon to your itinerary. But the Grand Canyon is so vast, you may not know how to get started. Grand Canyon West will simplify your visit, offering a one-stop shop of ways to view the canyon and its surrounding areas.
Settled at the canyon’s West Rim, within the gorgeous Hualapai Reservation, Grand Canyon West is only a two-hour drive from Vegas. General admission gives you access to incredible viewpoints at Guano Point and Eagle Point, as well as a hop-on/hop-off shuttle service that transports you between both points, allowing you to view the West Rim at your own pace. Other amenities include SkyWalk, a glass-paneled pedestrian bridge that peeks over the rim of the canyon, as well as thrilling helicopter and boat tours, like the Separation Canyon tour, which flies you to the bottom of the canyon, where you’ll then embark on a unique boat excursion that offers unbelievable sights and highlights the history of the Powell Expedition. –Alex Haase
