| - I surprised my husband with a helicopter tour for his birthday this past weekend. I booked he twilight tour, which included flying to see Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and then back to the strip to see the lights of Las Vegas. The limo picked us up where promised at our hotel, MandalayBay, which is literally almost across the street from the Sundance heliport. We waited for our tour in the office there and waited for our pilot, Lorenzo. Imagine my shock when Lorenzo turned out to be Lorenzo Lamas, actor from Falcon Crest and Renegade! How awesome!! Our group of 6 got instructions from him and he got us arranged inside the helicopter, balancing the weight. He was all business! We finally took off and after my initial nervousness wore off, it was really awesome! He flew us straight over to Lake Mead, while the recorded narration told us what we were seeing. We passed over Hoover Dam then turned back towards Las Vegas. After passing beautiful rock formations, we approached old Fremont Street and could see all the neon from up above. We turned again and passed the Stratosphere, then flew right alongside the strip all the way down to the end and back to the landing area. Lorenzo was an awesome pilot, very professional and conscientious. I would highly recommend Sundance Helicopters!
