I'm not sure which is the near side. I've only been to the south rim of the canyon. While it was stunning, I've been told that the north rim is even more amazing.
We went to the far side. If memory serves the south is the closer one, and we wanted the full experience. I saw Hoover Dam, Death Valley, Monument Valley, The Grand Canyon, and Bryce Canyon all on one trip to Vegas. Granted, I wanted more time in each place, but there is sooooooo much to do besides gamble and drink and walk the strip once you get to Vegas and I would venture 95% of visitors never get out of gamble/drink/repeat mode when there. Impressed some other guys here figured it out. Vegas is a great base for a vacation - always cheap flights from anywhere in US and always cheap rooms and eats. From there, it is just what cool place do you want to see next as a day trip, an overnight, or a couple day trip.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
