Best Answer

The city that is closest to the Grand Canyon is Tusayan. It is a Census Designated Place of 562 residents and at best, a tourist town which can provide only limited facilities and support.

Flagstaff Arizona has a substantial size, but both Las Vegas and Phoenix could readily be called large ciities.

Las Vegas, Nevada is 276 miles away and with a population of 583,756 and a Metropolitan size of almost 2 million can be considered a large city. However, Phoenix has a Metropolitan area of over 4 million and a city population of 1,445,632 and is only 223 miles from the South Rim. (Phoenix wins that contest.) Because the competition rules were not clearly stated, however, the prize must be awarded to Flagstaff which isn't large by modern standards. For a really big City within a day's drive consider Los Angeles, California.
