- Real Estate Adamstown
By Keith Kravitz
If you plan on seeing the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas, You should catch a luxury motor coach. Don’t let the word “luxury” spook you. Coach tours are quite possibly the most inexpensive way to check out the canyon. It’s also the key reason why visitors sign up for them in droves. Book upfront and make certain you get your seats. Here I will discuss five more reasons why it’s a great idea to RSVP this trip:
1. You will not get bumped. Nearly 40 million people visit Las Vegas on a yearly basis. This consists of big groups, families, and individuals. Most go on a Grand Canyon bus tour. If you are trying to book a trip for the next day, cross your fingers. You’ll likely be put on a waiting list. That assures nothing. I’ve personally suffered being bumped when a company group came last minute. By RSVP’ing, I’d have been untouchable.
2. You will enjoy the best seats. The front and the middle are the best sections. Better air-conditioning and views. Companies fill the bus from front to back. Reserve as far upfront as possible and there’s a good chance you’ll score some prime real estate. Same goes for group seating: If your reservation is last second, your people will be spread about the bus or negotiating with other passengers to trade seats.
3. Peace of mind. Getting ready for a trip takes a lot of thought and energy. In my opinion, the last thing I want to do is make a reservation at the destination. It’s a stress and in the end you most likely won’t get what you wish. Lock-down your bus tour prior to getting to Vegas and it’s simply a case of getting a wake-up call and getting on the bus.
4. You lock in priority scheduling. Weather at the West Rim and South Rim can be unpredictable. Tours have been known to be rescheduled on account of snow or high winds. You simply can’t control Mother Nature. You can decide your re-booking if you’re a pre-paid customer who has booked upfront. If this ever happens to you, re-confirm the new tour date and time and see if you can improve your seating arrangement. There will be people who can’t make the next day trip, thus freeing up some seats.
5. You get an excellent price. I field this question continuously: “Is it cheaper to buy my canyon bus tickets now or when I’m in Las Vegas?” You know my answer: Always buy in advance. If you get your seats in Las Vegas, count on paying out the nose for them. In comparison, book online and you’ll a) save a lot of money and b) you’ll lock down the amount. The Web is where all the best bus deals are. I’ve seen some that take 35% off. There are high seasons for bus tours and during these periods prices climb with demand. Purchase early on the Internet and your savings really start to increase.
Las Vegas to Grand Canyon bus excursions go to the West Rim or the South Rim. The West Rim, which is only 120 miles from Las Vegas, is famous for fun-based activities like the Grand Canyon Glass Walkway. The South Rim, which traditionalists refer to as the “real” canyon, is the place you go for vistas. This rim is 270 miles from town and requires a five-hour drive.
Bus trips to the West Rim include helicopter trips to the bottom (only available at this rim) and a pontoon boat ride down the Colorado River. South Rim excursions can upgraded to include a helicopter tour across the Dragoon Corridor, the widest, deepest part of the national park.
These trips are all-inclusive and come with free hotel shuttle service, a light breakfast, and a box lunch. Coaches are state-of-the-art and are replete with over-sized windows, recliner seats, TVs, and spotless lavatories. The driver-guides are 100% professional and are founts of information. Buses are also pre-loaded with tour narrations translated into more than 10 languages.
Grand Canyon bus trips from Vegas are the way to go if you are hunting for an inexpensive but fun day trip to the national park. Buses are modern and comfortable and the trips are all-inclusive, which means the only thing you need to bring is your sense of adventure. Because of their popularity, I highly recommend that you book in advance. Doing so will guarantee your seats and save you from the frustration that comes with buying these tours in Vegas.
