A great short train ride.If you ever plan to visit the Grand Canton,go to AAA and book the train.The package includes 2 nights in Williams(Old Rt 66) with meals and the train ride.We did the trip when we went to Las Vegas.The rates for the package did not go up on the weekend.So we checked out of the hotel in Vegas on Friday(rates go up $100 on weekends) and drove to Williams with a stop at Hoover Dam.Spent 2 nights in Williams and returned to Vegas on Monday when the rates go down.
