Hey it's Keith Kravitz and here's a list of what's hot when it comes to Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas & South Rim...

There are good helicopter tours and then there are GREAT helicopter tours. GREAT tours come with limousine transfer service to and from your Vegas hotel. They also include a tour over the Vegas Strip, starting from the Stratosphere Tower all the way down to the Luxor pyramid.
Finally, deluxe packages exclusively use the EcoStar 130, the best flying machine hovering over Canyon airspace today. Indeed, you will pay more for these tours but as my mom hammered into me as a kid, "You get what you pay for, son!" Learn more... |

There are a couple times throughout the day that are best for flying. Sunset is definitely one of them. It's also the most stunning, romantic, intense, awesome, incredible...you get the picture. The problem with sunset flights is they are limited. Very limited. So if you are planning
or wanting to do one of these adventures you'd better book it well in advance of your actual flight date. Sure, you could wait until the last minute but that's shooting yourself in the foot because you'll end up paying a lot more. But don't lose sleep on this scenario because by all accounts the tour will probably be sold out anyhow. Read more... |

South Rim (Tusayan) Options |
The South Rim is located in northern Arizona, about 3.5 hours from Phoenix, 2.5 hours from Sedona and 5.5 hours from Las Vegas. All told, the National Park encompases some 1 million acres of wilderness. Take that into consideration as you figure out how best to experience it. I know
I have and the conclusion I've come to is that helicopters are the only quick and efficient and exciting way to do it. Especially the 50-minute package. Or one that includes a Jeep trip. Whatever the case, there's a South Rim trip for every budget. Learn more... |

Upwards of 40 million people a year visit Las Vegas. That's an incredible number. And guess what? Most do a helicopter ride to the Canyon. That's why there are 10+ kinds of tours from which to choose. Pick from tours that land at the top or the bottom of the Canyon. Or ones that fly
over. There are even packages where you can add a boat ride down the majestic Colorado River or a VIP pass to the incredible, all-glass Skywalk. And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to heli rides that depart Sin City. Read more... |

I get the question all the time that asks "Do I get a refund if there's bad weather?" Or: "What happens if someone in my family gets sick and can't make the flight?" Those are the most common inquiries but they're all asking the same thing: "What's your cancellation policy." To this
I will tell you that the one offered is the best in the business. We're talking all-money back refunds and no terrible handling fees, service fees, change fees etc. that so many other companies put you through. The reason why our cancel fees are simple is because they are designed to help you confidently book in advance so you get the best price and the best flight times. Learn more... |

The Skywalk is not a small project. This magnificent structure cost upwards of $30 million dollars to build and that's a guesstimate. The glass panels used to build out the all-glass platform cost $200K a piece! So is the Skywalk worth it? You bet. The views of Guano and Eagle Points
are spectacular. Then there's the fact that the platform lets you walk some 75 feet over the edge until you are standing a heart-pounding 4,000 feet over the bottom. Nothing compares to the thrill of the Skywalk and there are 3x packages that include it as the centerpiece. Read more... |

South Rim From Vegas (Plane) |
Fact: Take a car or a bus to the South Rim from Vegas and you'll spend 5.5 hours ONE WAY getting there. Fact: Vegas helicopters don't go to the South Rim because it's too far. Fact: Take an AIRPLANE to South Rim from Vegas and it takes 60 minutes. Consider this and I'm sure you'll see
the benefit of flying. I do. And it's what I tell my clients to do, too. The flight is a breeze and when you land at the South Rim you're all fresh and raring to explore. Especially if you've added a South Rim helicopter ride to the mix. Then chase that with a 2-hour bus tour. Learn more... |

Sitting in the front seems to be a hot topic this month so let's address it. First, there are only 2x front seats set aside for travelers (helicopters hold a total of 6 people). Second, front seats are never ever guaranteed. Getting one is like being in the lottery. You get randomly
picked and BINGO there you are sitting next to the pilot. However, there is the opportunity to upgrade to the front and there's a price to do so. But it, too, is not guaranteed. If it all sounds a bit roundabout, it is. So I wrote this article that I hopes spell it out so there's less confusion when it comes to front seat requests. Read more.... |
