If you want to see the sights, and you want someone else to do the driving (or the flying), then a guided tour is what you want. Gray Line offer a range of tours throughout the Southwest that depart right from Vegas.

Possibly the most famous attraction in the Southwest is the Grand Canyon, and it is worth taking a day to experience. From Las Vegas, choose from comfortable tours to either the West Rim or the South Rim.

Luxury bus tours are pretty much all-day affairs, and you’ll get to experience some of the most iconic, breathtaking views from both locales. For both, you’ll get hotel pick-up and drop-off.

The West Rim tour takes you to the Skywalk, a glass bridge that actually hangs out over the canyon. It really tests your mettle. You’ll also see Guano Point, Eagle Point and Hualapai Ranch. Another option for the West Rim adds in a helicopter flight and pontoon boat ride as well.

The South Rim tour takes you into the national monument, with stops at the famous lodge, the visitor’s center and other cool sights. You can also do this with a luxury limo van, and a recent option lets you explore the canyon in a Hummer. One of the neatest things about Gray Line’s Grand Canyon tours are how many different experiences you can pack into one day, from the bus ride with rugged desert views to helicopter flights to let you see the sights from the air.

And if you don’t want to dedicate an entire day, book the four-and-a-half hour tour to Hoover Dam by luxury bus, and choose one with a helicopter flight for even more thrills and a bird’s-eye view of the famous structure and enormous Lake Mead. Gray Line even offers tours to Laughlin and to the Valley of Fire if you’ve already seen the Grand Canyon.
