Take A Day Trip From Vegas

Tours from Las Vegas, such as planning a day trip from the city to the Grand Canyon, will add some excitement to your vacation. After you see the majestic Grand Canyon, you will have plenty of stories and pictures to share with friends and family on Facebook and Instagram.

Just take one of the luxury bus tours from Las Vegas by way of a local company, such as Grand Canyon Destinations. Tour packages are featured to the West Rim of the canyon (part of tribal land) and the South Rim, part of Grand Canyon National Park. Passengers on either trip stop off for a short time at Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam.

Tours From Las Vegas To The Hoover Dam

You can also choose to take one of the short tours from Las Vegas to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam as well. A Hoover Dam express bus tour can be taken, with pick-up beginning between 8:00 and 9:00 AM in the morning. During this tour, you can stop at an overlook, and snap pictures of the Colorado River and the dam. You will also walk the Memorial Bridge so you can take advantage of more picture-taking opportunities.

Visitors on the Hoover Dam Express Bus Tour also visit the Lake Mead Visitor Center. At the center, you can buy a book or nature gift, or stroll through the adjacent cactus garden. Guests can also watch a video explaining more about the flora and fauna of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Whether you choose to see only Hoover Dam and Lake Mead or take a daylong trip to the Grand Canyon, you will be rewarded with some amazing scenery.

What You Will See On Tours From Las Vegas

Trip-goers get to see fir and pine forests, sandstone canyons, desert terrain, the Colorado River and its estuaries, waterfalls and spectacular rock formations round out the landscape. On South Rim tours from Las Vegas, passengers get to visit historical structures, such as the El Tovar Hotel, Hopi House, and Kolb Studio.

The West Rim leads explorers to the one-of-a-kind Skywalk Bridge – a glass horseshoe shaped platform that allows visitors to see down into the canyon and enjoy 360-degree views of the surrounding area.
