No trip to Nevada would be complete without paying homage to the Grand Canyon. Arguably one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders, you’ll need to allocate a full day to visit this rugged gorge. The West Rim is about 2.5 hours from Las Vegas, and features the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass-bottomed platform that juts out over the canyon. The South Rim is about 4 hours from Vegas, and is the launching point for guided helicopter, airplane and coach tours that allow guests to see other famous sites like Hoover Dam.
