GrandCanyonFunTrips.com is operated by Las Vegas locals. We often joke with each other about the amount of friends and family that spring out of the wood-work when they hear "so and so moved to Vegas". Nothing like being "Voluntold" to manage entertainment and activities for every group of friends that swings through town to make you an expert. It also gives one a keen eye for spotting great deals through the typical Vegas "smoke & mirrors". Our blog chronicles our adventures, misadventures, and generally serves to lift the veil on Las Vegas! Interested yet, then [ Keep Reading] !!

Grand Canyon Airplane and Bus TourVisitors booking a deluxe air and ground tour to the Grand Canyon find a breathtaking perspective available only from an aircraft that is specially designed for sightseeing.
Panoramic windows offer every passenger unobstructed views of the South and West rims of the Grand Canyon, as well as the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead area.
During our Grand Canyon airplane tours headphones are provided so that guests can listen to a recorded narration and be entertained by amazing facts and fun anecdotes while flying over some of the most historically important and beautiful sights in the American Southwest.
Leaving from Las Vegas, Boulder City with its orderly rows of houses and tree-lined streets, comes into view. Built by the federal government in the 1930s to house Hoover Dam construction workers, the town promotes itself as the “Best Town by a Dam Site.” By governmental decree, gambling was outlawed within the city limits, making Boulder City the only place in Nevada without gaming.

- Las Vegas Valley and surrounding area

Construction of nearby Hoover Dam not only ended the Colorado River’s rampaging floods, but also brought life-sustaining water and electricity to approximately 25 million people living in seven Western states and portions of Mexico. The River, which travels more than 1,400 miles from the Rocky Mountains in Colorado to Mexico, was tamed by the Dam, a Depression Era engineering marvel. And, Lake Mead, the 115-mile-long reservoir created by damming the River, offers abundant recreation and is the Las Vegas Valley’s primary source for water.
Hoover Dam Tour from Las Vegas
From the air during this Hoover Dam tour from Las Vegas, the 726-foot-high Dam appears immense and it is easy to see why building in Black Canyon was a construction nightmare. Worth noting were the daring group of workers called the High Scalers. It was their job to hang on the side of the cliffs, drill holes in the canyon walls, and pack them with explosives. The project used more than 8.5 million pounds of dynamite.
When the airplane lands at Grand Canyon Airport on the South Rim, passengers transfer to a waiting motorcoach, where they will travel a short distance to the Rim, one of the most popular destinations at the Canyon. Situated in a beautiful setting with tall pines and amazing wildlife, the Rim offers amenities such as lodging, restaurants, visitor centers, and multiple viewpoints.
During a private motorcoach tour of the South Rim, an expert driver/guide narrates the excursion and answers questions about the Canyon. Lookout points offering the best spectacular views are pre-selected stops, stops that have been chosen from the Rim’s two scenic drives, several trails, and more than seven observation areas. One of the most popular attractions, Mather Point, is known for its breathtaking scenery and exciting vistas of the Grand Canyon. Cameras are a must on this trip.
At the Bright Angel Lodge, a National Historic Landmark built in 1935, visitors can browse a gift shop and explore the rustic structure’s history room.
