The Grand Canyon Skywalk, Continued

The Grand Canyon Skywalk: Could it be worse than you thought? Yes, most definitely. As if the $25 fee for a holy stroll across the glass bridge wasn't bad enough, it turns out there's another overpriced fee you'll have to hand over to get there. It costs $50 to enter Grand Canyon West, a piece of the Hualapai Reservation that's closer to Las Vegas than it is to other Canyon entrances. This makes so much more sense as a Vegas attraction, but it's still a rip. Though we wouldn't really push Zion National Park as an alternative day trip from Vegas, it'll only take you an additional hour to reach. If you're into the national park thing, Zion is way cooler. Entrance there will cost you a fair $25, and basic camping is an additional $16.

Thats it?

Wow, thats not very impressive and certianly not worth millions.  I'll stick to the 25 cent binoculars on the side of the road.

Are you kidding me?!

It's gonna cost me 75 bucks to walk that gangplank? I'd rather watch the Sirens of TI.

Grand Canyon Skywalk

Hmmm....I found the Grand Canyon West Rim worth it and one of the best day trips from Las Vegas. The entrance fee is steep, but that's the case for all entries into the park, including Havasu Falls. It's a necessary evil, I guess. Anyhow, I've been to Zion, and it was great, but for sheer grandiosity, the Grand Canyon gets my vote. If any of you out there want to check out the Skywalk from Las Vegas, you can get there via bus or helicopter tour. Here's a site that reviews those trips:
