*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The Grand Canyon is an incredible landscape and one that's best seen from a helicopter or an airplane from Las Vegas. There are a lot of options when it comes to Vegas air tours, and in this article I'm going to make it easier for you to determine which one is perfect for you.
Departure Points
First, Vegas air tours depart from several locations throughout the metro area. These include the Las Vegas Strip, Henderson, NV, and Boulder City, NV. The cheapest departure points are the suburbs while the most expensive is from The Strip.
There are good reasons for this price difference. First, the commute to Henderson and Boulder takes longer, ranging from 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. The trip from resorts to Vegas Strip terminals is like 10 minutes.
In the case of helicopter tours, Strip departures also include chauffeured stretch limousine hotel pick up and drop off. As well, you'll get a Strip tour from top to bottom on the way back from the Canyon. In my opinion, these "extras" are what make Strip departures a better value.
Helicopters
There are two kinds of helicopter tours: Air only and landing. Air-only means you'll fly over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon before returning back to the City. Landing tours, by contrast, either land at the bottom or the top of the rim before returning home.
The best bottom-landing tour is the one that includes a Champagne picnic with 30-minutes or more to explore the base (I encourage you to check out the River). Many travelers extend this tour by adding a Colorado River boat ride. It all really depends on your the kind of adventure you want and your budget.
Helicopters that land at the top come with up to 2.5 hours of exploration time on the Rim. The one that is most popular with visitors includes access to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Also known as the Glass Bridge, this structure lets guests walk over the edge until they are suspended nearly 4,000 feet over the bottom.
Airplanes
Las Vegas airplanes follow the same flight path as helicopters except they don't land at the bottom of the canyon. To do that, you'd book an airplane flight that includes a helicopter ride to the bottom (with boat if you are so inclined). Planes do land on top and they do allow you to include Skywalk tickets and boat rides, too.
One thing to keep in mind about planes is that a) there are cheaper than helicopters; and b) they hold up to 19 people. This is important to know because if you are on a budget then planes are your solution. There's also the fact that helicopters often sell out so if you want to get airborne airplanes are a great option.
Conclusion
Las Vegas helicopter and airplane tours are very popular and that's why I recommend that you book your flights at least one to two weeks ahead of time. I also recommend that you book them online, too, in order to qualify for the Internet discount, which can be quite significant when compared to the retail rate you'll get quoted over the phone. After you book your flight, make sure you understand the pick up point and time at your Las Vegas hotel. And if you don't, ask the hotel's concierge, as they know exactly where the location is.
