Las Vegas trip

Decisions decisions, should I go to the Grand Canyon or a corner on Winslow Arizona?

The GC is utterly draw-droppingly amazing. Are you the kind who would consider hiking up/down, or maybe you have the funds to do a chopper ride to land at the bottom? We went to the bit which has the SkyWalk (amazing in itself) which was relatively deserted... drive up a dirt track.

If it's one or the other it has to be the Grand Canyon. Can you not do both? Or have you lost it all in a casino / strip bar?

Think the Skywalk has the most appeal. I like the idea of a finding a quiet spot and a clear night sky.

Trip is not till October. Could do both, thinking of hiring a car.

WHS - we did it in a one engine aeroplane - will never forget it. One second the ground is right there about 10 metres below you then whoosh -

A trip to the Hoover Dam is also worthwhile.

Oh yes good call. We drove from LV to LA via the CAnyon and the route took us over the Dam. They were building a big multilane drigde to replace the existing road which is a 1-lane tourist-clagged road on the dam itself. I imagine that's finished by now.

I'd imagine a chopper is even better since you can land at the bottom and get out.

A boat ride along the river is possible but way outside our time/cash budget when we went. Hire an SUV though rather than a regular car.

So scooter, how was it? I've got a trip lined up - any tips?

I took a helicoptor ride to the GC from LV in 2005, must see if you have the time, inclination and money, was only about 20% of a day rate.
