Never been out to the Grand Canyon, etc.

Visitor:
Just starting a search for a last minute vacation that starts in Las Vegas. Never been out to the Grand Canyon, etc.
Alley:
Hi thanks for stopping by. Did you wish to drive to the park and stay overnight or take a day trip from Las Vegas?
Visitor:
Drive to and stay overnight so we can do Bryce or Zion too before heading back eventually all the way to Southern California.
Alley:
Very good In light of that, you should also plan a stop at Lake Powell (Page). You pretty much have to pass through there anyway on your way to Zion & Bryce and there’s a lot to see and do there. For Grand Canyon park hotels, it’s probably too late to book, but you may still be able to find something in Tusayan/Grand Canyon Village South. Visit http://grandcanyon.com/hotels.html or call 1-800-916-8530
Visitor:
Yes, forgot about Lake Powell. Thx for the info. I have a cousin staying at a hotel in Jacobs Lake that we may try to catch up to. I will check all her hotel info too.
Alley:
Jacob’s Lake is actually closer to the North Rim. Lodging in that area tends to book up fast as well. Nearest alternate lodging is Kanab UT (90 minutes from park) or Page AZ (2.5 hours from park). You can use the link and 800-916-8530 that I provided above for hotel reservations in those areas too.
Visitor:
Thanks – we are completely without a plan at the moment.
Alley:
Definitely want to solidify that plan ASAP – your trip date is just around the corner.
Visitor:
Yes, – just booked flights last night!
Alley:
Good deal – work on the lodging next, OK?
Visitor:
Will do.
Alley:
Good luck, let us know if we can help with anything else
