The distance from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon varies depending on which rim is being visited:

• The West Rim (Grand Canyon West) is the closest, approximately 130 miles (210 km) from Las Vegas. The drive takes about 2 to 2.5 hours.
• The South Rim, the most popular part of the Grand Canyon, is about 275 to 280 miles (443 to 450 km) from Las Vegas, with a drive time of around 4 to 4.5 hours.
• The North Rim is roughly 260 to 270 miles (420 to 435 km) away, also about a 4 to 4.5-hour drive but is less accessible and closed for part of the year due to snow.

Thus, trips to the Grand Canyon can range from a short 2-hour drive to the West Rim to a longer 4 to 4.5-hour drive to the South or North Rims.
