If you’ve never taken a helicopter flight before, Las Vegas might be one of the best places to try it. And Maverick Helicopters offers a variety of packages that not only give you a bird’s-eye view of the Strip, but also let you fly above the Grand Canyon or the wilderness beyond the city lights.
One of the most popular packages has to be the Vegas Views tour. It will whisk you up from Maverick Helicopters’ terminal at the south end of the Strip for a 10- to 12-minute journey up and around the Strip, giving you magnificent vistas all the way. (The quicker nature of the tour means it’s easier to fit in on a tight schedule.)
If you’ve got a little more time, hop on board the Neon & Nature tour for a slightly longer ride, views of both the Strip and Red Rock Canyon, and a 30-minute landing looking over the valley. For something even more special, opt for a sunset tour.
And, of course, if the Grand Canyon is on your radar, Maverick Helicopters offers a variety of tours that encompass longer flights to the natural wonder and options for champagne landings (Wind Dancer sunset tour), and ones that include a landing at Grand Canyon West’s amazing Skywalk—a glass bridge cantilevered over the canyon—and Lake Mead (Skywalk Odyssey tour).
