Two of America's most spectacular landmarks are within day-trip distance of Las Vegas. Hoover Dam is just 30 miles southeast and can be visited in a half day. The Grand Canyon's West Rim (with the famous Skywalk) is about 2.5 hours away, while the South Rim is about 4.5 hours.

Hoover Dam tours let you walk inside the dam and learn about this engineering marvel. Grand Canyon tours range from bus excursions to helicopter flights that land on the canyon floor. Both experiences offer a stunning contrast to the neon-lit Strip.
Typical price range: $30–$500+ (depending on tour type)
Hours: Hoover Dam: 9 AM–5 PM daily. Grand Canyon: varies by rim
Nature lovers, families, anyone wanting a break from the Strip, photographers
