Indeed - I did a half-day trip from Las Vegas a few years ago (so you see it from the air first).  It is 
almost unbelieveable how vast the scale is - sometimes you have to be told that the far side is *x miles* away 
and then try to work out the rest from there.  I had to phone a friend back in England from a phone box in a 
restaurant, just so I could enthuse about it and share it somewhat.  A truly awesome experience!

Cheers,
