“The Grand Canyon Skywalk is one of the most exciting attractions this year,” says Charlotte Au, The Operations Manager of GotoBus.com. “While the L.A.-Las Vegas-Grand Canyon tours have long been one of the popular tours among our customers; the Skywalk would add thrills and excitement to the whole Grand Canyon experience. It would be a dream-come-true to many people.”

The Skywalk is located on the Hualapai American Indian reservation in Arizona, known as the Grand Canyon West Rim. It's a short two-and-a-half hour drive from Las Vegas. Visitors will have to wear shoe covers to protect themselves from slipping and to protect the Grand Canyon Skywalk glass bridge from scratches. The cost of walking on The Skywalk is $25 in addition to the purchase of a Grand Canyon West tour package. In the near future, the Skywalk facility will also include a 6,000 square-foot visitor’s center, which will contain a museum, movie theater, VIP lounge, gift shop, and several restaurants and bars.
