I was just curious how far the Grand Canyon is from Las Vegas?

I know the Skywalk is located in Grand Canyon West. But this is not part of the Grand Canyon National Park. Is there a difference?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Got up super early to drive to Arizona and the edge of Grand Canyon West to experience the Skywalk. Little did we know there was 14 miles of corrugated, dirt road!!! Within a few miles, the ‘maintenance required’ light turned on in my 2007 Yaris!! It was a gut wrenching, tooth rattling ride. At the Skywalk ‘terminal’ we endured more wind and dust, porta-potties and loud helicopters landing across the street. A bus (with transmission issues) drove us on more dirt roads to the actual Skywalk. Was the chance to walk 4000 feet above the Grand Canyon floor worth $80 each? (plus the locker rental to put all the stuff you’re not allowed to take on the glass) They do, however, give you cute booties to slip over your shoes and take a picture of you in them, for a mere $25 !! On a positive note, this side of the Grand Canyon is not part of the national park system, so there are no fences to keep you from the very edge. The Colorado River is close below winding through the beautiful red canyon. The food was actually good, but served on paper plates with plasticware. We were horrified to watch the wind blow them right into the canyon. For every positive, there was a negative… a 50/50, expensive experience. Oh, then it rained… and there was no shelter, walking through puddles and mud to get back to the car (then had another 14 miles of unpaved road to endure!)

My husband and I are going to Las Vegas and would like to see the Grand Canyon. We are looking at taking a few days to visit the Grand Canyon. I saw some information on Grand Canyon West. Could anyone give me any details on it? Is it neat to see or just a tourist trap? If the West side isn’t worth it, could someone give me some info on the North and South Rim on what all there is to do. Note that I’m not interested in white water rafting or a whole lot of hiking. Thanks!
