I read a ton of negative reviews for Heli USA and was dreading my Groupon deal experience. We went with my husband on Thursday, March 8th, 2012 by bus to the Grand Canyon ranch, stayed the night and were flown on the helicopter back to Vegas. Overall, we REALLY enjoyed the experience! Maybe it was the timing and our luck, but everything worked VERY smoothly, we had a great bus driver (were the only ones on the bus), there were only one more couple staying the night and we ware the only ones flying back on the helicopter!
I think for the price that Groupon offered, its very well worth it. The ride itself on the help was over one hour, which was amazing. The stay was ok too - great singing, fireworks at night, decent food, ok wooded house ranch - overall, very positive!
