What's the best way, but inexpensively, to travel around Las Vegas and to the Grand Canyon for a week?
My husband and I are traveling to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon for a week. Anyone have great, but inexpensive ideas, to enjoy those two locations? Thanks so much!

Answer 1 :
Hopefully you are taking a day trip to GCanyon by bus tour, relaxing to see the scenery and then enjoy the canyon. While in Vegas you can walk the Strip, which is four miles long, but watch the summer heat. Pick a corner a day and you will have more than enough to see/do and not have to drive around. Corner - Mandalaly Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, Tropicana, MGM Grand, NYNY, Monte Carlo Corner - Caesars Palace, Bellagio, Paris, Ballys, Bills, Flamingo Corner - Wynn, Encore, Venetian, Palazzo, Mirage, Treasure Island & Fashion Show Mall
Answer 2 :
Vegas in general wipes me out, but renting a car & driving around the SW desert is an ideal thing to do (if it's not 100 degrees). Making a loop I-15N to Zion National Park, then south to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is a great way to spend some time enjoying nature & the scenery. Springdale (just W of Zion) has some excellent restaurants & hotels. Hiking Zion I would recommend Angeles Landing, if you really wanna do it right. Grand Canyons North rim is not too far away either. This is much higher elevation (8000') than the South Rim, so you can find meadows, aspens, forests & hiking.

It really depends upon what your needs are As a native New Yorker I find Las Vegas to be a boring one trick pony kind of small town Were I you I would fly in , rent a car for a week [get a 4 door sedan w/a V-6 ] spend the night at properties 1,2,3,& 5 http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/control/Booking/search_results?areaCodeAR=&areaCode=&advancedSearch=false&entry_source=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.daysinn.com%2FDaysInn%2Fcontrol%2Fhome&brandCode=DI%2CHJ%2CTL%2CRA%2CKG%2CSE%2CBU%2CBH%2CMT&searchWithinMiles=50&resetSession=true&areaType=2&destination=LAS&state=&country=US&checkInDate=09%2F03&checkOutDate=09%2F04&numberRooms=1&numberAdults=1&numberBigChildren=0&numberChildren=0&__tier1=true&__tier2=true&__tier3=true&__tier4=true&useWRPoints=false&rate=000&__rate=SRB Do Las Vegas' one trick and hit the road the next day >come back to LAS 6 days later return the car and fly home Depending upon what kind of an awesome scenery lover you are a 6 day loop trip could look like this Pop this into mapquest or whatever site you're using LAS >GCN >Lees Ferry AZ >Page AZ>Kayenta AZ >Mexican Hat UT>Cortez CO>Telluride CO >La Sal Junction UT>Moab UT >Hanksville UT>Torrey UT>Escalante UT >Mount Carmel Junction UT >LAS I just sent you across Grand Canyon NP , Lake Powell , a big chunk of the Navajo Nation , Monument Valley , Four Corners , Mesa Verde NP , a taste of the Rockies, Arches NP , Canyonlands NP < Capitol Reef NP, Bryce NP Zion NP and the Virgin River Gorge on I-15 Enjoy your journey
