5 Tips: Awesome Las Vegas Helicopter Rides To Grand Canyon

By Beth Adams


You'll never run out of exciting things to do when you take a vacation to Vegas. And it's also close to the Grand Canyon, so it's the perfect place to begin a helicopter tour of the amazing natural landmark. There are several options when it comes time to book your tour, so here are five tips that will help you make the best choices.

Tip One: Choosing Deluxe or Basic Tours

Looking at all of the options available, you will find both deluxe and basic Grand Canyon tours from Las Vegas. If you can't seem to find the true benefit of either package, then let me tell you that deluxe is the way to go. For a slight increase in ticket price, you will receive a true VIP experience. Deluxe tours provide a limousine shuttle service, which sets the tone of your adventure. The deluxe helicopter is larger and newer, and it has the best seat layout, with a huge viewing window that will allow you to take in all of what you see. As an added bonus, these tours fly directly from Vegas (basic tours leave from Boulder City), and include a flyover of the Las Vegas Strip.

Tip Two: Choose a Landing Tour

You also get to choose between a landing tour and a flyover tour of the Canyon. The air-only tour offers spectacular scenic viewing from the air, but if you want the full experience, you should land at the Canyon so you can see it up close too. You can land on top of the rim to hike along scenic trails and visit the Skywalk, or you can land on the Canyon floor and enjoy a Champagne picnic or a float tour along the Colorado River. So if you want the ultimate Canyon adventure, then booking a landing tour is the way to go.

Tip Three: Buy Your Tour In Advance

Helicopter tours of the Canyon are very popular. In fact, the tours often sell out. So if you want to make sure you get the tour you want, you have to book it in advance. Try to book your tour about two weeks in advance, or you can book it after you book your hotel so you don't forget. That way you won't forget and risk missing your tour.

Tip Four: Book Online

Booking online is the easiest way to ensure that your tickets are confirmed and that you get the best ticket prices. Booking online is also cheaper, because you won't have to pay any additional fees that are added on by travel agents or other third parties. Just make sure that you complete the transaction with your credit card, as this will ensure you get the best price and that everything is confirmed for the day that you plan to fly.

Tip Five: Take the Last Flight of the Day

Would you like to see the Canyon at sunset when it is at its most mysterious with lights dancing across the ancient rocks? Then you'll want to book the last tour for the day. Then you'll see the Canyon at its most unique and you'll also get to see The Strip when it springs to life at night. Vegas from the air at night is a beautiful sight.

Wrapping Up

Hopefully, you know a little more about taking a helicopter tour of the Canyon. If you're going to Vegas for vacation anyway, don't miss your chance to see the Canyon, since it is so close. By following the tips above, you'll be able to book the best tour at the best price.
