How long is the drive to the Grand Canyon West rim from the South rim?|195228

hey guys, i would really appreciate if anybody could help or give me some advices. Im planning on going to the Grand Canyon (south rim) this coming december and after that maybe stop for a couple of days in Vegas. I wanted to ask if anybody knows how long is the drive to the West rim, because the SkyWalk seems pretty interesting and maybe I wanted to make a quick stop there on the way to Vegas. What are your opinions ? is it worthed? Fees, etc...
Thanks

Bad idea _The place is simply not worth the time or effort required there nor is it at the real Grand Canyon
Here_s their website_note the price and the no camera rule

If you want a really great alternate routing to Las Vegas than route it over the N.Rim and thru Zion NP
Directions
Exit GCNP via the Desert View entrance
Downhill to the jct of US 89@ Cameron AZ-get gas in Cameron-
North on US 89 to the jct of US 89 A at Bitter Springs AZ -about 60 miles
Left onto 89A Crossing the Rio on the New Navajo Bridge
Stop into the rest area and walk to the middle of the Old Navajo Bridge and look 467_ straight down to the Rio

Stay with 89A up and over the N.Rim until it meets up again with US 89 at Kanab UT
Continue north until you get to the jct of SR 9 at Mount Carmel Junction UT
Make a left on SR9 and take that downhill thru Zion NP
SR 9 takes you to I-15 S which takes you to Las Vegas Get gas in either Hurricane or St George UT
Just so you know if you hit heavy snow on that route it will be between House Rock Valley and Fredonia AZ on US 89A _ADOT will occasionally post _ chains required for that stretch_ if they then still visit the Old Navajo Bridge -Lees Ferry area and then head back to US 89 and continue north thru Page AZ and into Kanab
Safe trip
