What are the best ways to shuttle from Phoenix (or Las Vegas) to south rim Grand Canyon?|116426

Going on a hike through Grand Canyon in mid-October. Flying into either Phoenix or Las Vegas (or even another airport if a better option occurs) and hoping to find a shuttle method from that city to the south rim of the Canyon. Ideally I have to make it to the rim and be ready to walk by 2-3pm. I can either travel the day before (Friday) or the morning of (Saturday). Whichever option I take, I need to ensure proper rest (hiking the canyon without proper rest is very dangerous).

Any info is greatly appreciated.

  • Give Scenic Airlines [ airline code YR] in Las Vegas a call and tell them that you_re hiking and want _the ride only _ fare You should know that that fare may very well cost you more than your flight into LAS did

    Just so you know :
    Unless you_re planning on using Indian Gardens as a CS or making a dry camp above the Redwall ,2:00 3:00 PM is a kind of late to start your hike
    I mean the Inner Canyon does get dark before the Rims do and gets light after the Rims do
    Enjoy the Canyon

  • I recommend you rent a car, but also check out local tour operators

    I was recently in Las Vegas and I took a tour from Look!Tours to Death Valley and was very pleased

  • What is the difference between east coast and west coast?|182821

    I have never been to new england or eastcoast states like virginia, massachusetts, connecticut, georgia, rhode island, pennsylvania, vermont ,new york, maine. Looks really nice there with all the new england history.

  • There_s a world of difference between the northeast and southeast, much like there is between the Southwest and Northwest.

    Northeast cities like NYC and Boston may remind you of San Francisco and to a lesser extent Seattle - they_re VERY densely populated. Most families have 1 car, walking or the subway will get you everywhere. The cities are 300+ years old - so they_ve got a lot more personality. They_re quirkier, more metropolitan, and at times very European feeling. The people are much more hurried, and you_ll probably find them cold - or even rude - on the streets until you party with them at pubs.

    For the most part, I find that the West coast is much more naturally beautiful. But you_ve probably never seen anything like fall in New England - very suddenly EVERY tree is bright yellow, orange, and red.

    The south feels like a different world. Life moves MUCH slower than the northeast or west coast. Virginia and North Carolina are both educated places with beautiful coasts.

    I don_t have a lot of nice things to say about South Carolina and Georgia. You tend to run into a lot of ignorand people there, and Atlanta is a hellhole.

  • The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
  • What is the best suite in vegas for 8 guys on a bachelor party, I prefer not to stay at the Palms?|182152

    I have looked at the Palms and they have the Fantasy suite which is like 10,000 a night to much.

  • IMO these are the most reasonable priced suites.

    The Platinum Hotel

    http://www.theplatinumhotel.com

    This hotel is located on Flamingo, a couple of blocks from the center of the strip.

    Stratosphere

    http://www.stratospherehotel.com

    The executive suite might work for a bachelor party.

    Luxor

    http://www.luxor.com

    The Pyramid Spa Suites are nice, but are probably more appropriate for a honeymoon than for a bachelor party.

    If you would give me the price range you_re looking at, and the dates you need I could give you a better recommendation

    The amenities you_re most interested in would be helpful.

  • Google this site ....Great Resource for Vegas Bachelor Partys

  • Those fantasy sweets include a bowling alley or basketball court, and set up for celebrities not the ordinary person.

    There is no suite that is set up for that many guys. At most you can get adjoining rooms with two queens size beds for a decent price. If you want a suite I would recommend you go across the street from Palms to the Gold Coast (local preference) or Rio

  • palms for guys is great ...there are lots of others too

  • The Skylofts at MGM Grand would be great, but are also expensive. Check them out at:

    I don_t think you get any better than the Skylofts and the Fantasy Suites for party groups.

  • Mondalay Bay has good suites....
  • Does anyone know of a good primary care physician in the area of forest grove or hillsboro, oregon?|192852

    I recently turned 19 and now have no doctor, as i was treated at the pediatrics clinic previously. Are there any good doctors in the area?

  • Why not try a medical service provider? They can provide you some very good internist. One of such medical provider as far as I know in Oregon is Elitehealth. They have a branch there. Just find it on their site: www.elitehealth.com

  • Nice thought. But hard to find a good one there. Google it, that��s what you need to do.
  • How do people get home from bars/clubs in LA?|104766

    Do most people either just drive drunk or have a designated driver? Or are cabs pretty easy to come by when it comes to getting home at 2am after getting drunk at a bar? The other major cities I_ve visited/lived in all have plentiful cabs and public transit but LA seems to be a different creature.

  • Alot of people drive drunk. Call a cab, take a bus, get a ride from a friend, or live near the club/bar they are going to. ..

  • they have a DD or drive drunk!! The taxi system in LA sucks unless you_re at the airport!! You have to store the number in your phone ahead of time and be prepared to wait!! It_s nothing like vegas or new york where there are taxis everywhere!!
    My friends and I just alternate between whos drinking and whos driving or for special occasions we get a hotel room in the area we_re partying at!!

  • Yes, we are different creatures. Most people just get behind the wheel and off they go. Our public transit system sucks. Buses stop running regularly, taxi_s when you can find them are money suckers. Maybe MADD has a list of people/agencies you can call. Good Luck

  • People will either make alternative arrangements or party close to where they live.Yes, it is true, many drive after a night of drinking.

  • sometimes on big hoildays ( new years and Christmass
    the AAA offers a service their tow trucks will take you and your car
    home (just you no passengers) home

  • You can call a cab. You usually can_t just find one. Most people have DDs.
