As many times as you’ve visited Las Vegas, there’s one thing you never get tired of: That sight of the Las Vegas Strip coming into view, with all its amazing signage and iconic architecture. It’s an attraction in and of itself, which is why it’s practically a must that you need to see it as close up as you can—and at a slower speed than an airplane!

Enter Maverick Helicopters, one of the premier providers of tours of the Southwest that specializes in letting you enjoy everything from the Las Vegas Strip to the Grand Canyon in ultimate style. All trips are in the comfort of an Eco-Star craft, a state-of-the-art machine that does everything but make you dinner—although dinners are a big part of what Maverick offers.

For example, if you’re looking for a romantic evening with that special someone (including said dinner), Maverick’s Savory Bites & Neon Lights program is ideal. For several hours, you’ll be whisked away to some of the Las Vegas Strip’s finest restaurants to sample some of their signature dishes (in partnership with Lip Smacking Foodie Tours), after which you’re shuttled back to Maverick’s facilities and taken on a 15-minute ride over the Strip at night. For experiences that make memories, this is pretty darn hard to beat. 

And, yes, you can see the Grand Canyon the way it was meant to be seen in a variety of different Maverick packages. Options include landing and exploring Grand Canyon West, experiencing the Skywalk (a U-shaped glass walkway that stretches out over Grand Canyon West), and much more.

If you want to explore more nature, no problem! Maverick also takes excursions to Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area, complete with a landing spot allowing you the best possible vantage point and a glass of champagne to commemorate the moment.
