Grand Canyon to Las Vegas Directions

What are the best driving directions? I%26#39;ve already done a Hoover Dam tour a few years ago, but it would be cool to pass over it again. Are there any sites between the 2 worth stopping for?

I anticipate leaving the Grand Canyon Sunday morning sometime.

Thanks

The primary route does pass over Hoover Dam. Hwy 64 from GCNP south to Williams, I-40 west to Kingman, Hwy 93 north to Las Vegas.

For diversion you could drive on the old Route 66 from Ash Fork or Seligman to Kingman. It is more scenic than I-40 and adds an hour to your driving time plus stops.

Thanks. What is there to see/do on Route 66?

If I a correct, the I-40 directions is about a 4-5 hour drive. So then taking Rte 66 would make it about a 6 hour drive?

THanks

This could also be your last chance to drive over Hoover Dam, since I believe the bypass bridge is scheduled to open next year (they want to get cars off the dam for security reasons). You%26#39;ll still be able to park and visit it though.

Along Route 66 in Arizona on the way to Las Vegas there are many things to see:

-Grand Canyon Caverns (one of the rarest of dry caverns- average 8% humidity + a giant sloth %26amp; mummified bobcat)

- Hualapai Indian Reservation

stop by their hotel in Peach Springs and visit their gift shop or have a traditional Hualapai taco + they have a saltwater pool

- Drive by Valentine, AZ

very picturesque + has a post office (for Valentines day postmark!)

-stop in at Seligmans old diner

stop in to see old James Dean memoribilia

- Drive by the old airline boneyard

looks like an old airport right before you get into Kingman

- Drive through Chloride (used to be a ghost town) off of HWY 93

it%26#39;s just a few miles past Kingman on the way to Vegas- drive through Chloride to the end of the street to see Roy Purcells giant rock paintings

Hope this helps.

Have fun!!
