If your logistics work out, there are a number of hotels just outside of the 
south rim entrance to Grand Canyon Park.  There are a couple inside as well but 
several of the moderate priced chain hotels are represented less than 10 
minutes from the gate.

Try to eat dinner at the grand historic El Tovar hotel near the South Rim.

Have fun!

Subject: [Ferrari] NFC Advice on driving trip Palm Springs-Las Vegas please?

Hi,
 
Sorry for the NFC but I need some quick advice for a last minute trip to CA  
over the Xmas holidays. I want to go from Palm Springs to Las Vegas with an  
overnight in between. This is more of a scenic driving tour as I haven't seen  
this part of the states from the ground before.
 
Advice? I want to see a little of the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dan from  
the ground. I only have 48 hours so if I leave Palm Springs in the morning and  
need to be in Vegas the next day by mid-afternoon what route would you 
suggest?  Where is a big enough town to overnight in (close to Canyon and or 
Dam) 
for the  first night where I can find a simple Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn or 
similar?
 
Appreciate it if anyone can take the time to drop me a line. Just want to  
see some desert but have to stay on schedule so rather than drive straight  
through I thought I would build in an overnight stop. I see the interstate on  
the 
map but there must be a better way?
 
Many thanks
Britt
