Not sure why you'd rather not land at Vegas, but if you've never done this route, you might reconsider. We did the trip last Spring, renting a car in Vegas and stopping at the Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon. It was a delightful and not-too-distant drive. Getting out of Vegas and heading south into the desert is easy. The scenery looks surprisingly unique and beautiful, even though we've been there before. The Hoover Dam is a destination in itself, making this our first choice for getting to the Canyon. Whatever way you go, you are witnessing some of nature's finest miracles. Have fun!
