Some of the most breathtaking attractions in Las Vegas have been around a long time (some a lot longer than others), and you can take in those sights with a view from above. Maverick Helicopters whooshes you up, up and away, off to the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Newer sights are also waiting for you, like Las Vegas’ iconic, brightly lit Strip.
If you’ve always wanted to see the Grand Canyon, consider one of Maverick Helicopters’ trips to Grand Canyon West. With seven different tour options for you, you’re sure to find an itinerary and timeline that suits you. You can spend as little as four hours (but still experience a landing) with the Wind Dancer Tour, which heads over Lake Mead and the Mojave Desert before landing at Grand Canyon West (right below the rim). Once down, enjoy some beverages and nibbles before heading back; on the way back, you’ll take in the Bowl of Fire and cruise over the Strip before landing. Other tours include landings where you can experience Grand Canyon West’s Skywalk, a cantilevered glass bridge that seems to sit in midair over the natural wonder.
If you want to simply take in the Strip from above, Vegas Views takes you from Maverick Helicopters’ terminal from one end of the Strip and all the way up and back. And on Nov. 21-23, special flights spotlight the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix course for an exhilarating view of the major racing event.
If you want to add a little extra to your tour, you should pop the question or even tie the knot with your significant other. That’s right, Maverick Helicopters offers flights designed to facilitate that “Yes!” Weddings are available with options for cake, a minister, champagne and more! A wedding coordinator will help you nail down the details.
Through the end of November, the company is holding a toy drive to benefit Speedway Children’s Charities in Las Vegas, and toys can be dropped off at Maverick Helicopters’ terminal.
