I had been on this helicopter ride before but it had been years and unlike other helicopter flights over the Las Vegas Strip, this one is a thrill ride getting a little close to the hills surrounding Lake Mead with dips and turns. Everyone was very professional including the pilot, shuttle driver and staff on the ground. But for those who are skittish or have never flown in a helicopter before, choose a more sedate ride. But for the adventurous - you don't want to miss this one.
