Take a day trip to the Grand Canyon

Las Vegas is the gateway to some of America's most spectacular scenery, and the Grand Canyon is the headline trip. Day tours run from the city to both the closer West Rim (home of the glass Skywalk) and the more dramatic South Rim, by coach, or for a splurge, by helicopter for unforgettable aerial views. Closer still, the stunning red rocks of Red Rock Canyon and the Hoover Dam make excellent half-day trips. It's the natural counterpoint to the neon. We'll explain the rim options, the tour types, and how to choose the right Grand Canyon trip for your time and budget.
