Las Vegas Heli Rides

Fall/Winter is a great time to do a helicopter tour from Las Vegas. Trips include flying over the Canyon, landing in the bottom, landing on the top or all the above! There's even a tour that includes VIP tickets to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. If you see a helicopter tour that’s for you (and I know you will), snag it before you neighbor does. Details here…

Weight Limits

There technically aren't any weight limits when it comes to helicopter tours. But there are surcharges. Argh!!! I cant stand them either (regardless if they call it a "comfort seat") and I've never been able to beat this rap except at one location. Don't like being surprised at the ticket counter when they ask you to fork over an extra hundred bucks or more? Read this...

South Rim Heli Rides

First: South Rim helicopters do not fly below the rim and land. That's only available from Vegas. They do fly over the Canyon in all its glory and there's one I recommend that lets you see up to 75% of the National Park. Just make sure you fly the deluxe helicopter as it’s got the good seats and the 180-degree wrap windshield. Oh, and don't forget about the heli-Jeep combos! Read more...

Vegas: Champagne Picnic

Traveling to Las Vegas and looking for a great helicopter tour ride? Try the Champagne picnic tour. This one goes over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River before landing on the bottom for a Champagne picnic. Includes up to 30 minutes of "bottom time.": Then it's the ascent to the top and a pass by the Skywalk before heading back to Vegas. More information here...

Vegas South Rim Airplane

Vegas helicopters can't fly to the South Rim. It's too far. What to do? Take the plane. It's a direct flight and you get there in less than 1 hour. Now that's fast! This trip can be combined with a South Rim heli ride or a 4x4 Jeep tour for maximum pleasure. You can even squeeze some sightseeing on the plane ride to and from the Canyon. Booking details here...

Las Vegas Bus to GC

Budget travelers rejoice! The Vegas bus to Grand Canyon is back. Go to West Rim or South Rim on a shoestring. Personally, I'm prone to use the savings to add side-trips into the package, like helicopter rides to the bottom or VIP Skywalk tickets. The world's your oyster, bus traveler! Time to book it. Details here...

Grand Canyon Airplane

Las Vegas is a major hub for flights to the Canyon's West and South Rims. It takes a measly 25 minutes to get to the West Rim and a paltry 60 minutes to get to the South. Plus, like bus tours, you can add a ton of stuff to these packages. Pick from all-air flyover tours to landing trips. Truly, this is a case where "the sky is the limit." Check out these flights...
