Do you reccommend booking something prior to our Vegas arrival or is it better to book once we get there? We unfortunately are not into the hiking or strenous treks...should have done that when we were younger. We'll be in Vegas for 8 nights the first part of April. Hopefully some one on TOTV will be able to steer us in the right direction. Look forward to any and all opinions.

Going in early April it is likely the road from Jacobs Lake to the north rim will still be closed. If you hike down the bright angel trail on the south rim your first water will be 1.5 miles down. The first 1.5 miles from the top is all switchbacks called Jacob's Ladder if I remember correctly.
Even if you don't do any hiking there is so much to see on the road along the rim.
The western part of the canyon is in the Havasu Indian area. That is where they built the glass walkway that extends out over the canyon.
