Las Vegas is so close to the Grand Canyon that it would really be a shame not to visit while in the city. There are several Las Vegas tours that will take you to the canyon, but one of the best is the Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour and IMAX.
This Las Vegas tour is much more than just a quick trip to the Grand Canyon. You will make stops at the Hoover Dam, National Geographic Visitors Center, and, of course, the South Rim. Make sure you bring your camera, since there will be photo opps at the dam and Grand Canyon.
In the National Geographic Visitors Center, the tour members will watch the 30 minutes IMAX movie, The Grand Canyon Discovery and Adventure. It´s an amazing documentary about the exploration of the Canyon by John Wesley Powell and contains breathtaking aerial footage complete with stomach lurching drops and sweeping panoramas. While seeing the Grand Canyon in person is one thing, this IMAX film shows you an even more impressive view.
If you want to see the Grand Canyon, the Las Vegas Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour and IMAX show is the best way to go. Relax to and from the location with large, comfy seats and huge windows to see everything there is to see. You can also watch movies on the way back to Las Vegas, once you´ve had a chance to wander around the rim.
