The great thing about winter? Grand Canyon bus tours out of Las Vegas are much cheaper then. Plus, you can wait to take your trip in 2014 when ticket prices will be much higher. What do I mean by this? Winter is the slow tourist season in the Grand Canyon while summer is the busy season so tour prices are much lower in the winter months. Every bit of money you save on buying your tickets is money you can spend elsewhere on your trip. Further, by booking that bus trip now, you lock in that savings permanently. So is it risky to buy your tickets in advance? To protect your money and your sanity, but your tour seats from a company with a good cancellation policy. A word on cancellations. The best tour operators will give you a full refund if you have to cancel your trip as long as you do so at least 24 hours beforehand. They also return your money or reschedule your tour if weather conditions cause your tour to be canceled. When you are protected by such a good cancellation policy, you can buy your tickets early without concern. Plus, you can plan your trip ahead of time so you get the best choice of tours, which may be sold out in peak season. The best thing about Las Vegas bus tours is that you can visit the West Rim or the South Rim. The West Rim is closer at 125 miles while the South Rim is about 277 miles away. You could always get a rental car and drive to the West Rim, but that isn't a good idea. It might even cost more to drive yourself. You have to pay all the fees for parking and entrance yourself , plus you have to pay for gas and the rental vehicle. Plus, part of the trip is over rough dirt roads. The West Rim is most famous for the Grand Canyon Skywalk, which is a truly magnificent attraction. Also known as the glass bridge, the Skywalk lets you walk up to 70 feet past the edge. Once out there, you will be standing 4,000 over the bottom. Some tour companies allow you to wait and purchase passes to the Skywalk until you get a look at it in case you chicken out. Indeed, it's more expensive to go this route, but if you're unsure if you want to do it, it's worth the extra expense. The South Rim takes 5.5 hours to reach so buckle up because it's a long road trip. Personally, I don't mind the drive because the landscape you cross getting there is interesting. But since it is such a long ride, you definitely want to choose an operator that uses comfortable sight-seeing buses. The best coach tours give you up to 3 hours to explore the South Rim. You should visit Grand Canyon Village and Yaki and Mather Points. After a fun-filled day, you return to Vegas around 9 at night, so if you want to do dinner and a show, you'll have to make late plans. Conclusion The best way to save money on 2014 Las Vegas bus tours to the Grand Canyon is to purchase them this winter. Prices this time of the year are low and once you get them they can't be increased, thus resulting in you saving money (which really adds up if you are a group of three or more people). Saving a bundle of money is a great way to get in the spirit of the holiday season! Tips from the Author All set to explore the Grand Canyon?
