The bus tours that leave from Las Vegas go to the West Rim or the South Rim. Both trips begin early in the morning and don't end until 8 or 9 in the evening. It's a full day of sightseeing and explorations, and you'll probably just want to relax at your hotel afterward. That's why I recommend not buying any show tickets for that evening.
If you plan to go to the South Rim from Las Vegas, you should be prepared for a 5- hour bus ride. Once you enter the Park, you'll have up to three hours to explore the canyon's sights. You will get to see Mather Point, Yaki Point, and the Yavapai Observation Station. In addition, your bus trip includes a stop at the historic Grand Canyon Village. There are several things to do in the Village as it is home to gift shops, museums, and restaurants.
If you decide to go to the West Rim, it will only take you about 2 hours to get there from Las Vegas. Some notable landmarks you will see at Grand Canyon West include Eagle Point, Hualapai Ranch, Guano Point, and the Indian Cultural Center. But as exciting as those places are, you'll make your tour into a true adventure by adding one or more optional side trips. These fun filled adventures include rafting down the Colorado River, riding a chopper to the floor of the Grand Canyon, and walking out on the thrilling transparent Skywalk.
These fun motor coach tours include Park fees, the services of a tour guide, breakfast, lunch, and even free transportation to and from your hotel on the Vegas Strip. On your way to the Grand Canyon, you will see spectacular sights such as Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The buses are ideal for sightseeing since they have over sized windows, clean restrooms, and reclining seats.
If you want to take a bus tour to the Grand Canyon, you should book your seats early, especially if you plan your trip during the peak travel months of April through November. Booking ahead is the best way to ensure that you'll be able to enjoy the popular West Rim side trips, and it usually guarantees that you'll get a tour on your desired date.
Booking your tour online is the easiest way to do it plus it will save you money too. You'll pay a higher price if you make the mistake of buying your tickets through your hotel concierge, at a street kiosk or at a local booking office. The tour operators' websites offer the best deals on Grand Canyon bus trips. The discount you get might be as much as 30%. I recommend you follow the same strategy.
If you are going to be in Vegas anyway, you certainly shouldn't miss the chance to take a bus tour to the Grand Canyon. The National Park is only 120 miles from Vegas, and it's a rewarding day trip.
The South Rim is known throughout the world for its magnificent natural beauty. If you want to ride a helicopter to the bottom of the canyon, you will have to do that at the West Rim since that is the only place it is allowed. But, you'll have a spectacular time no matter which part of the canyon you decide to visit. The beauty and majesty of one of nature's greatest creations will make your spirit soar.
