Another notable part of the West Rim area is the Hualapai Native American reservation. You can explore the village and enjoy exhibits and demonstrations.

This helicopter tour is only one of the many available from Las Vegas. You can also find tours of the North Rim. There are tour packages to suit every preference and price range. Many of the available tours include fun extras and side trips to related attractions.
