| - Got Dam Helicopter?
I flew in a big plane pretty often
I flew small planes by myself
I flew Glider planes by myself
But I never flew in a Helicopter, which was the ultimate Vegas Experience for me!! Almost like a roller coaster, just without the rails!! The upwinds from the mountains shake the Helicopter a little bit but other than that it was a smooth ride. One thing you have to experience yourself.
And of course the view, unbelievable view on Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the new bridge.
Make sure you get here early because otherwise the wait can be long, even better call ahead, like I did, to check if they are even operating, because they don't fly when the winds are blowing too strong.
+ you get to take a picture in front of the Helicopter, when the rotor is still idling a couple feet above your head, that alone brings your heart rate up, just don't try to lift your arm and waive to somebody while taking the picture!!
And be careful when you get out of the Helicopter, I heard that people slip and fall when they try to get out =;-)
