Helicopter Tours

Looking for a good but not TOO expensive helicopter tour of either just the strip or the strip and grand canyon. Any advice??

Helicopter Tours

Night strip flight currently available for $74.99 on Viator.com

The tour they sell is usually Heli USA%26#39;s Apollo night flight, which is currently $99 on Heli%26#39;s own website.

A helicopter tour isn%26#39;t cheap to begin with. Grand Canyon Helicopters, which is a subsidiary of Papillon, offers a canyon floor landing, overflight of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and a flyover of the strip for ~$360. That would be about 4 hours from hotel to hotel. If you wanted to just fly over the Strip, that costs anywhere from $75 (online price) for a flight lasting about 15 minutes.

Other helicopter companies that offer similar tours are Maverick Helicopters, Sundance Helicopters and HeliUSA.

Landings on the canyon floor and/or overflights by helicopter out of Las Vegas also take place on the Western Rim, which is not the National Park, but the side of the canyon owned by the Hualapai Indian Reservation.

Papillon offers the best value for both. Just head to their website at papillon.com and peruse the tours there. A couple of warning: 1. most of their tours depart out of boulder city, not vegas. and 2. GC tours by heli head to a side canyon, not the national park. Have fun

I have used Papillon the last time I went to Vegas (5-2006). The rate now to fly the Strip is $59 + $10 for fuel charge. It%26#39;s about a 12 min flight but it covers everywhere you would like to see (Strip and downtown Vegas). I did the night flight, but they offer day and night flights. I really liked it and they pick/drop you at your hotel. Plus you get a glass of champagne, to boot. lol I will be going again in Feb.

Have fun.
