Las Vegas is close enough to the Grand Canyon to make it a great day tour from the main city. However, simply driving around the Rim of the Grand Canyon is not as exciting as it could be. You want to really experience this major Las Vegas attraction? Then you need to take a walk on the Skywalk.

The Skywalk takes you right over the Grand Canyon, and not in a helicopter. You will literally be standing over thin air, with only a thin bridge between your feet and 4,000 feet of emptiness down to the Colorado River, flowing bright blue between the colorful canyon walls. It is truly an amazing experience and you won´t have a better opportunity to get some incredible photos to take back to your friends and family. They won´t believe you got to do something so cool in Las Vegas.

There are several Las Vegas tours that will take you to the Skywalk, but you can also just show up at the West Rim and head out yourself. You won´t regret it.
