My friend and I decided to do the Grand Celebration Helecoptor Flight on our holiday to Las Vegas, having never flown in a helecoptor before to say I was nervous was a understatement but I had no need to worry it was amazing.From start to finish this trip was worth every penny. We were picked up from our hotel bang on time! then taken to heleport where we were checked in and then watched a safety video. From there we were taken to our helecoptor and intorduced to our pilot.
He was excellant, he put everyone at ease explaining every thing we would be doing and told us all about places we would see whilst flying including Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
The hilight of this tour had to be when we landed right on the West Rim. Once on the ground, we were given a picnic lunch and a glass of champagne.We had time for a little wonder round taking in the views of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River below.Then it was time to get back in the helecoptor for the return flight we flew back a differant way so we had more amazing landscapes to see and to photograph. It was the the best thing I have ever done and I would definitely do it again if I am lucky enough to go back to Las Vegas.

A MUST DO on a stag trip. We took our groom on this as a surprise and he loved it! Despite all of us feeling a little tired and delicate, that was soon forgotten as the pilot (who was great fun) swooped off up and away straight over the strip. We soon realised just how little of Vegas we had seen last night. With the pilot giving details of what star owned what mansion over looking what exclusive golf club, we were all engrossed in conversation through the headphone/speaker sets. Lake Mead is draining fast and Vegas is growing massively so go and see a live environmental disaster for yourself!
The lunch and champagne finally killed off the headache and then the real excitement started. In the not to distant was a massive wall of black cloud and it appeared to be approaching fast. The pilot indicated we should get going and we didn't hang about. We had to refuel after a few miles which gave us the opportunity to take pictures of this amazing storm. A final swoop down the length of the strip (it was now dark)reminded us of what we were in for again tonight.
10/10.

I've done a few helicopter rides over cities, but this has to be the most dramatic and stunning scenery you could ever see on a flight. You can talk to your pilot and ask him questions as you go through the headsets. I took loads of photos but none really catch the enormity of it all. The only downside was getting to the airport. It took a good hour by the time we had collected everyone from different hotels. A small price to pay for a great trip though.

Went to Vegas with a few lads and let's be fair there's not much culture on that sort of trip, just drinking, very late nights and gambling (all of which is of course just fantastic). The one exception to the debauchery is this magnificent trip to the Grand Canyon by helicopter. It takes less than an hour to get there and you firstly fly over the Hoover Dam which in itself is a very impressive structure. However the highlight of the trip is getting over to the Canyon. The sheer size and scale of this is hard to comprehend even when you see it with your own eyes and it totally takes your breath away. We landed right in the middle of the Canyon and had a champagne picnic there. It completely shook off the cobwebs from the night before. When we flew back to Vegas the pilot took us over the Strip. If you're going to Vegas this trip is a must do and is worth evey penny.

The Grand Celebration Helicopter Flight is the perfect natural contrast to the bright lights and tackiness of Las Vegas. Not satisfied with adding to my fear of heights by hanging off the side of a 1000ft tower the night before at the Stratosphere thrill rides, our party took to the air at a much greater altitude courtesy of our excellent and informative pilot. The first observation I made after taking a few deep breaths was how small the city looks in comparison with the vast Nevada desert that surrounds it. The Hoover Dam is impressive, but the Grand Canyon itself is indescribable and so vast that it takes a while for the experience to sink in. The champagne lunch next to the Colorado River amongst the most spectacular geological setting in the world also defies words. The return journey features a sweep down the Las Vegas strip providing a birds eye view of the famous casino hotels to finish off the ultimate helicopter ride.

This was absolutely fantastic – worth every penny!

Booking was straightforward and even confirming the transfer while in Vegas was.
The transfer was on time and very comfortable in a luxurious mini bus.

The actual tour was amazing and our pilot was just great, we couldn’t have asked for more. We will remember this forever – don’t hesitate, BOOK IT!!!
