Geologists study rocks in order to better understand the Earth, as well as to determine the properties that make a rock an excellent substitute for a baseball. Study hard roundies with today’s Groupon: for $79, you get an express tour of the Grand Canyon’s west rim from Comedy on Deck Tours (a $160 value). Pickup points are available at the Golden Nugget, Stratosphere Hotel, Circus Circus, Treasure Island, Bally’s Hotel, Monte Carlo, and Excalibur Hotel. Reservations are required to ensure that the bus arrives at the pickup location you choose.
The fully qualified guides of Comedy on Deck Tours will exercise your quadriceps and tickle your funny bones as they lead an adventure to the Grand Canyon’s awe-inspiring west rim. Tours run Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and begin at 6:30 a.m. with a light breakfast consisting of a danish with juice, water, or a second danish that's been puréed in a blender.
Next, groups embark on a yuk-filled trek around Earth’s most spacious crack. Side ventures include a jaunt to Eagle Point for a glimpse of the famous Skywalk observation deck, as well as to Guano Point for a 360-degree vantage point that allows canyon squirrels to size you up. Stretch your legs during a self-guided walking tour around the Hualapai tribe's village, replete with authentic dwellings and an amphitheater presenting Native American music and dance.
After a day of fresh air and sparkling views, the return trip will get you back to Las Vegas by 3:30 p.m., granting you the entire evening to hit clubs with paper airplanes.
This Groupon cannot be applied toward the VIP upgrade.
