Grand Canyon Connoisseur
The Grand Canyon Connoisseur is the Las Vegas plane to South Rim tour that comes with a bus trip inside the National Park. It's the fastest way to get to South Rim from Las Vegas comes with free hotel transfers and ZERO park entrance fees!
It's one of my personal favorites because it's fast. For example, it takes a bus or a car 5.5 hours one way to get to the South Rim. Take the plane and you're there in 60 minutes.
This tour comes with plenty of time to get out and explore the South Rim. On average, you get about 3 hours of time. That's plenty to take in two of the most popular lookouts and for strolling through historic Grand Canyon Village.
(FYI: Las Vegas helicopters don't fly to the South Rim. It's too far. So you have to take the plane tour if you want to get to the South from Las Vegas.)
