The Basics

The West Rim is an ideal day trip destination from Las Vegas, Nevada. Hike the area, visit the Western-style Hualapai Ranch for food and themed activities, or step onto the famous Grand Canyon Skywalk—a glass bridge near Guano Point that allows visitors to see the Colorado River flowing 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) beneath their feet. The West Rim is a popular destination for helicopter tours from Las Vegas, which give travelers a bird’s-eye view of the canyon and nearby attractions such as the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. For a special treat, opt for a sunset helicopter tour that includes Champagne. Bus tours from Vegas offer a different perspective and sometimes also include a visit to Joshua Tree National Park.

Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour & Hoover Dam Photo Stop with Optional Skywalk

We didn't do the Skywalk but we enjoyed having our lunch on the 3rd floor of the building. The view of Grand Canyon leaves me in awe of God's creation. Roby, our tour guide, was awesome and always made us laugh and our driver, Thomas, was a very safe driver. Definitely recommend this trip with Comedy on Deck because the luxury coach is clean and places we went and ate were well planned.
