On foot, you'd have to walk too far; on a bus, you
couldn't isit the Strip casinos that are the main focus of interest.
What bus tours there are head out from the city instead, mainly to the
destinations in the icinity - Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon,
and so on.
Several companies also offer free trips to the
state-line casinos at Primm and Laughlin, of appeal to die-hard gamblers
only. Most of the operators listed below also run flights or tours from
Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon.
Grand Canyon Tours
Whatever impression you may have, the
Grand
Canyon
is not close to Las Vegas.

The South Rim, the most famous
tourist area, is 290 miles away by road, and the quieter North Rim
only a little less. A Colorado river viewpoint on the Hualapai Indian
Reseration, 130 miles from Las Vegas, calls itself the
West Rim, but the views are not on the same scale.
Trying
to see the South Rim on a day-trip by bus inoles at least a
ten-hour round-trip ride, and is not recommended. Competition on air
tours, however - including an over flight of Hoover Dam - means
that you may be able to find prices as low as $100 per person, which
isn't bad for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
