Grand Canyon and Las Vegas Strip Helicopter Tour  

For those looking for a shorter Grand Canyon tour, this 90-minute helicopter flight is the perfect solution.

Soar like an eagle over landscapes of matchless grandeur and beauty on your way to the wild West Rim of the Canyon. Enjoy spectacular views of the magnificent Hoover Dam and glittering Lake Mead, and keep a look-out for rare bighorn sheep.

At the Canyon, dip below the rim and fly between sheer rock walls above the Colorado River thousands of feet below. Helicopter flights are the best way to see the Canyon and the views on this trip are something you can never forget.

On the return journey your pilot will take you directly over the sparkle and glitz of the Las Vegas strip. What a contrast to the rugged desert landscapes you have just flown over!

Itinerary

For your Grand Canyon and Las Vegas Strip Helicopter Tour you will be picked up at your hotel in Vegas in an air-conditioned vehicle 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to the flight departure. You will be driven to the Las Vegas McCarran Executive Terminal to board a helicopter for your aerial adventure.

After boarding, sit back in your comfortable seat and enjoy the 45 minute flight to Grand Canyon. On the way, you will see awesome views of the massive Hoover Dam, one of the world’s greatest engineering achievements, and the sparkling waters of Lake Mead. As you sweep over some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet, you will enjoy choreographed music and an informative audio-guide in a choice of 11 languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish).

Your tour takes you over the more remote regions of the Grand Canyon. Look down with awe at the landscape of chasms, amphitheaters, pinnacles and temples. Admire the palette of brilliant color ¬– the red-ochre and ash-white of the sandstone and limestone rocks, the orange, green and gray of the lichens and the indigo and violet of the deep shadows.

Along the way you will see features of the area such as the 12 mile (20 km) long Grand Wash Cliffs, on the western edge of the Colorado plateau, and the Grapevine Mesa. This flat-topped plateau is capped by a layer of limestone that once formed the floor of an ancient lake.

Swoop over the wilderness area of the Black Mountains and peer down to see if you can spot any of the rare bighorn sheep.

When you reach the West Rim of the Canyon, hold your breath as your chopper dips beneath the edge and flies you a short way between the massive rock walls.

After 10 – 15 minutes at the Canyon, your pilot will head back and give you the chance to see the spectacular scenery from another angle.

Your return journey to Las Vegas takes around 45 minutes. On the way back your pilot will fly you over the dazzling neon of the world- famous Strip. Look out for the great hotels and resorts that Vegas is famous for – New York, New York, the iconic replica Eiffel Tower, the Luxor’s pyramid, Treasure Island and the monumental buildings of Caesars’ Palace.

On reaching the Las Vegas McCarran Executive Terminal you will board your coach for the return to your hotel, where your delightful tour ends.
