I find it very exhausting to do a one-day Bryce Canyon excursion ex-Vegas as it is a good 4.5 hours of driving/bus ride each way. I'd much prefer to overnight and come back the next day if I were to do this excursion by car or bus. The Helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon is a different story which I find to be more relaxing.
