Once upon a time, a Las Vegas Grand Canyon bus tour took forever. And then there wasn't much to do once you got to the Grand Canyon.
Now, three words have changed all that: Grand Canyon West!
Finally you can experience the Grand Canyon from top to bottom and get back to Las Vegas in time for dinner...
...on the Las Vegas Grand Canyon Rim to River Expedition!
Your adventure begins with pickup from your Las Vegas hotel. After a brief check-in and transfer to your touring motorcoach...
...you're on your way! Your first stop is Hoover Dam. You'll enjoy a photo shop at this stately yet artful structure...
...responsible for the creation of Lake Mead, one of the world's largest man-made lakes...
...which was pivotal in making the arid Western U.S. livable.
Be sure to get pictures of the Colorado River Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge too! ***BRIDGE IS NOW COMPLETE, YOU WILL PASS OVER IT!***
After leaving Hoover Dam, you'll pass through the Mojave Desert, where ancient Joshua Trees surround you.
Soon, you'll arrive at Grand Canyon West, a Native American Tribal Park owned and operated by the Hualapai Indian Nation.
Known in their native language as "The People of the Tall Pines," the Hualapai Indians have occupied this area for over 1,000 years.
In the 1990's, they began developing their land holdings around the Grand Canyon...
...and have achieved significant success by offering Grand Canyon visitors experiences that were once considered impossible.
At Grand Canyon West, getting to the bottom of the Grand Canyon is easy: with an exhilarating helicopter flight to the canyon floor!
You'll get up close and personal with the Grand Canyon's rugged cliffs and majestic spires...
...before touching down at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where pontoon boats wait to take you on a leisurely cruise.
After your river ride, it's time to re-board your helicopter and fly back to the rimside, where motorcoaches are ready...
...to resume your tour of Grand Canyon West. Your first stop is Eagle Point, where you can learn more about the Native People...
...of the Southwest by touring replicas of their traditional dwellings or taking part in a Native dance or cultural program.
A hearty barbecue lunch is served at Guano Point, and every single table has a view of the Grand Canyon!
Named for an unsuccessful attempt to mine guano from nearby bat caves in the 1950's, remnants of the tram line...
...and other mining implements still stand and can be seen with an easy and scenic walk around the promontory.
Eventually it's time to head back to Las Vegas and what's so great about this tour is that it's about 12 hours long, from hotel to hotel!
So you'll get back around dinner time, instead of 'round midnight.
So book your seats today for the Rim to River Expedition. ***THIS TOUR MAY NOW BE UPGRADED TO INCLUDE THE GRAND CANYON SKYWALK!!!***
