The wife wants to go and I keep thinking maybe im old enough to get it now but half a day off the strip of a 3 day trip seems dumb.

I enjoy seeing it and when I drive over it, but I found it boring when I actually went to visit it years ago, and after a few pictures I was done. If the wife wants to go you probably should go. It'll take 2 or 3 hrs out of the day if you go there just to take some pictures. I'd pass on the tour if I was you.

GL to all I'm not sure if there are chopper rides only to the dam, it is usually part of the wider Grand Canyon tour which sets you back around $350 per person
