Former Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Astronaut Buzz Aldrin is about ready to show us that there is something else to do to get away from the gaming tables while visiting Las Vegas:

On March 20, the second man on the Moon, Buzz Aldrin, will lead the first walk across Skywalk, the cantilevered glass semicircular walkway that juts out 70 feet over the Grand Canyon and 4,000 feet above the Colorado River in Arizona.
The walkway, which will open to the public on March 28, is made of two million pounds of glass and steel and cost more than $30 million to construct. It is the centerpiece of a development plan called Grand Canyon West. The group behind the project ó which will include a 6,000-square-foot visitors center, with a museum, a movie theater, a gift shop and several restaurants ó is the Hualapai Indian tribe, which also has a reservation on the million acres of land they own on the western rim of the canyon.

The website for the Skywalk is here. It’s about 120 miles from Las Vegas. A walk around the Skywalk will cost $25 plus the Grand Canyon West entrance fee.
