The experience

The coach runs with reclining seats, video monitors and big windows, and your guide talks you through the route as you head out. You drive through the ancient Joshua Tree Forest, then stop at Hoover Dam for about half an hour to stretch your legs and photograph the dam from the bridge overlook. From there you can spot the Colorado River winding through the canyon below.

At the rim you walk out to Eagle Point, where a glass bridge extends over the edge and gives the feeling of floating above the canyon floor. Next to it, the Indian Village has replica dwellings, live cultural demonstrations and traditional dances, so you can see the region's heritage up close. Guano Point comes next, with views over the Colorado River and the old Guano mine, and lunch options waiting there.

At the Hualapai Ranch, Brand Ambassadors share the tribe's culture and history along a dusty street, with exhibits and food to try. If you chose the helicopter, you fly about 4,000 feet down to the canyon floor and spend time by the Colorado River, and a pontoon boat ride on the river is there too if you picked it. Back on the coach, the drive returns you to Las Vegas in time for a night out.
