Elevate Your Halloween: Experience Las Vegas Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours

Choosing Your Grand Canyon Adventure

Types of Tours

From Las Vegas, you have the option to embark on either an all-air tour or a more immersive landing tour. Both types of tours will take you over stunning landmarks such as Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, and the Colorado River, but they differ significantly in experience:

• All-Air Tours: These tours provide a comprehensive aerial view of the Canyon and return directly to Las Vegas.
• Landing Tours: More engaging, these tours make stops at strategic points either on the top or the bottom of the Canyon. A popular choice is the Champagne picnic tour, which descends to the Canyon base allowing guests to enjoy a delightful snack accompanied by champagne for about 30 minutes.

Deluxe Upgrades

For those seeking an enhanced experience, deluxe tours are available. These utilize the EcoStar 130 helicopter, which is 25% larger than standard helicopters and features comfortable stadium-style seating and expansive 180-degree wraparound windshields. Deluxe tours also offer luxurious perks like stretch limousine transfers from hotels and an extended helicopter ride over the Las Vegas Strip, from the Stratosphere Tower down to Mandalay Bay.

Additional Enhancements

• Colorado River Boat Ride: Complement your helicopter tour with a serene boat ride along the Colorado River.
• Grand Canyon Skywalk VIP Tickets: Step out onto the Skywalk, a glass bridge that extends 75 feet over the rim, placing you 3,500 feet above the Canyon floor.
• MEGA Tour Package: This ultimate tour package includes all the aforementioned experiences along with ample time to explore the Canyon's rim.

Beyond Basic: The South Rim Experience

While helicopter tours from Las Vegas primarily visit the West Rim due to its proximity (125 miles east), the South Rim, which is too far for helicopter commutes from Las Vegas, offers its unique charm and can be reached via a 60-minute plane ride. This tour can be upgraded to include a bus or jeep tour and even a cross-rim helicopter tour, providing a comprehensive South Rim experience.

Conclusion: Plan Your Grand Canyon Journey

Whether you opt for a basic or deluxe tour, a Grand Canyon helicopter tour is an unforgettable way to experience one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders. The additional views of the Las Vegas Strip on the return journey only enhance the experience, making it a must-do for any Las Vegas visitor. Remember to book your tour in advance and online to secure the best flight times and rates.
