*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you�re planning a trip to exciting Las Vegas, why not make it even better by adding a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon? Las Vegas helicopters fly to the West Rim, 365 days a year � even on major holidays!
Although Las Vegas helicopters are limited to the West Rim (flights to the South Rim are beyond their range), they�re a terrific way to see this magnificent place. If you�ll be based in Vegas but you really want to see the South Rim from a �copter, an airplane tour can take you there. This tour is a nice package because it includes an exciting chopper flight from the South Rim to the North Rim and back.
There are two types of Grand Canyon tours on Las Vegas helicopters: aerial flights and landing tours. The aerial version flies to the Rim, circles the highlights and then returns to Vegas. These tours are great for folks who are short on time or have limited budgets. That being said, I strongly prefer landing tours even though they cost more - they give you a more in-depth experience.
All of these tours (aerial and landing) come with free hotel shuttle service. And they all fly over Lake Mead and Hoover Dam before arriving at the canyon. From there they start to get different.
As I mentioned earlier, aerial tours fly to the canyon, circle the West Rim highlights and then fly back to Las Vegas. The most popular landing flight lands on the canyon bottom and includes a champagne picnic while you�re there. An upgraded version (I call it �everything including the kitchen sink�) adds a float trip down the Colorado River and VIP access to the exhilarating Grand Canyon Skywalk.
All these tours are incredibly popular. People love Las Vegas helicopters for a lot of different reasons: the flight itself is exciting; you get up-close views of the canyon highlights (buses can�t do that and choppers can fly lower than planes); they show you more of the Grand Canyon than you�d ever see from a bus; and the views you get from a chopper really show you how immense and magnificent the canyon really is.
Your pilot will point out the native wildlife beneath you (maybe you�ll see some rare California condors!). You�ll learn about the creation of the Grand Canyon � carved out of solid rock over hundreds of millions of years by the waters of the Colorado River. If you take the tour that lands on the bottom, you might see some ancient Native American rock drawings � the area has been inhabited for thousands of years.
Because Las Vegas helicopters are so popular, you�ll need to book your flight well in advance. I recommend booking a minimum of a week ahead (two is even better) so you have the best chance of snagging the tour and departure time you really want (mornings and sunset flights are best).
Make sure you book your tour online. Stay away from the big-box travel sites: the tour companies have the lowest rates. As long as you complete your purchase on the tour operator�s site, you�ll qualify for a great Internet discount. I�ve saved up to 30% off retail this way � and not just once, either!
Las Vegas helicopters are a terrific way to explore the Grand Canyon. So buckle up and get ready to have a great time!
