If you want thrills and views at the same time, then Maverick Helicopters has got you covered. This popular Las Vegas tour provider is perfect whether you want to take in the Strip from overhead or get a bird’s-eye view of one of the world’s largest natural wonders.

For Strip sights, the Vegas Views package is not only a bargain (prices start at $139), but also a perfect way to cap off a day of sightseeing. Take off in an Airbus helicopter from the company’s south Strip terminal for a 12- to 15-minute trip. You’ll fly up and around the boulevard, with your pilot providing witty commentary. Shuttles are available as an add-on. If you want dinner, the Savory Bites & Neon Lights combines a food tour followed by the Strip flight ($325), and is phenomenal.

And no matter if you want a quicker trip or to spend all day, Maverick Helicopters has plenty of options for an excursion to the Grand Canyon. Most tours head to the West Rim and include such things as champagne and snacks (starts at $599) or a stop at Grand Canyon West’s Skywalk (starts at $629). Some trips even include two landings. If you want to travel by bus for more Southwest views, there’s an option for that, too, and it does include a helicopter flight ($379).
