  • 3 out of 5 stars by kona from Pompton plains, New Jersey
  • October 24, 2025
Quote: Although this is nowhere near as beautiful as the Grand Canyon, it is worth seeing as a shorter day trip. It's only about 15-20 minutes away from the strip by bus/car. You can book this tour directly at the hotel you're staying at, and the tours... Read the full Red Rock Canyon review

Quote: Red Rock Canyon is about a 30-minute drive from Las Vegas. I went on this trip as a tour for about $30. The entry to just the park is only $5, though, so it does make more sense to drive yourself if you have a car. The tour in question started with... Read the full Red Rock Canyon review
