For us it was a great ONE DAY affair and after you drove the whole length and visited the visitor center and stopped at all of the pull out areas that was it... You can go down into the canyon as well for a fee. We never did that...

Everybody's experience can really differ, depending on how active you can be and personal tastes. All of the opinions are valid and have merit. So the OP will have to assess everything based on what they like to do and their capabilities. In our case, we stayed in Trailer Village in September 2014 for 6 days, and wished we were there longer. We hiked down into the canyon on Bright Angel Trail (great experience) and in total, about 30 miles during the stay. Also had some nice meals at the Arizona Room and Bright Angel restaurants, and enjoyed the sunsets, gift shops, museums, etc.
We found Trailer Village to be terrific. The Elk walking the campground, as well as mule deer were great to watch. The proximity to other areas of the park was nice and the shuttle service worked out great. We are looking forward to going back, even though we've been there 3 times (twice south rim, once north).
