Is "thrilling" a too overused word. The scenery was breath-taking, awe-inspiring, humbling, moving. I also took the Wind Dancer tour because I was pressed for time; I was chaperoning my 81 year old mother , yet wanted to get out into the desert. "In business since 1905 with safety awards all over the walls" is how I reassured her on the phone from their lobby. The music and the pilot on the flight were pleasant and enhanced the experience for me. The pilot said we could talk after we had reached cruising altitude. I was watching the DVD of the flight back home and realized that none of us had said a peep until we landed in the canyon. The others, like me, we were that awe struck. I noticed the couple next to me were arms intertwined most of the way. I wish we had had more time at the picnic site. I think everyone must want to stay and stay. Was wondering if the package would have been cheaper if I had booked on my own, rather than having Bally's service desk do it- efficient though they were. Pricey, but not a splurge I regret.
