Took my boyfriend on a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, & Colorado River for his bday.
This is seriously a top notch operation! They are so nice and informative. From listing us on the tour, they ask for the hotel name and then advise they will pick you up in a shuttle about an hour and half prior to heli take off. The shuttle was exactly on time. Vegas is hot! The shuttle was new and air conditioned! Awesome.
Arriving, you check in. This entire airport is new and renovated. It looks so nice and clean. Lots of glass to see landing and take off of other helicopters. Staff was wonderful. Have some time to relax and grab a snack.
Then we go! The pilot calls your name. There were 6 of us on the helicopter. Already assigned seating arrangements. Taking off was so easy and smooth. The pilot was really really informative about everything that we were seeing! Overall we were in the air maybe 1.5 hours. Definitely long enough!
Only thing I didn't like was the fact that they make a photographer go out there with you to take a picture. They say you aren't allowed to take your own pictures (lol yea right! byeeee!). Then they try to have you buy your picture for TWENTY DOLLARS. lol. We snuck a thousand photos. Went inside, made friends with a desk agent, she took us out on the runway and then took a bunch of pics of us on the runway with a helicopter!
They also shuttle you back. Great experience!
