If you can pick one thing to do "near" Vegas this is my suggestion!
Just seeing the Grand Canyon, even for 5 minutes over a railing, is pretty awe-inspiring.
If you are feeling up to about 1-2 hours of hiking not too strenuous, there is also some amazing viewpoints partway down on a man-made path.
+1 for this Grand Canyon day trip. As someone who's lived in Phx for decades I'd only ever seen the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is gorgeous, but seeing the West Rim from the NV side is worth it, different views and for those of you that enjoy beauty and terror combined might I suggest the Grand Canyon Skywalk
