Cheap Helicopter Flights in Las Vegas

A helicopter tour in Las Vegas is the ultimate attraction in Sin City and I’d recommend it to anyone! But don’t stop reading yet! It doesn’t mean that you’d have to win all your money gambling. There are plenty of affordable helicopter tours in Las Vegas. If possible book your Vegas helicopter at the beginning of your trip. Weather might change just in case weather cancels your original date and you have a few days open to move your trip it to.

Cheapest Helicopter Tours in Las Vegas

Let’s compare the cheapest helicopter tours in Las Vegas and what these packages offer. Please note that there are two different types of helicopter tours from Las Vegas: over the strip and to the Grand Canyon. Within these options you can also choose if you’d rather fly at night, in the morning, or during the day and whether you’d like to have an inter-landing at the Grand Canyon.

If you’re planning a tour to the Grand Canyon you could also consider small airplane or hot air balloon tours.

My Experience

I personally chose to go on a VIP helicopter flight combined with a limo service to the airport. My limousine picked me up from my hotel in the evening and to my surprise, for a while I was the only person in the car.

Sampling some champagne!

Before the flight, I was served champagne while the organizers assigned everyone to their seats in the helicopter. I’ve never been in a helicopter before, but I assumed that it probably would be pretty similar to the Cessna flight I took when I actually got to fly the plane myself!

The best seat in the helicopter is right behind the pilot, and I was lucky to get it. I expected the helicopter to be extremely loud, but it wasn’t any louder than a regular small plane.

Although the flight was only 15 minutes long, it was definitely worth it for the spectacular views. I was able to see every hotel pool from above and the neon lights looked even more brilliant than when you’re walking through the strip. The best part was seeing the people in the Stratosphere tower from close up, as we flew around it.

I would definitely recommend it as it can give you a quick overview of Las Vegas in style and it’s a great experience for those who have never flown in a helicopter before.

I like how you suggested websites that could provide price comparisons of various other sites in your post. That'd definitely be faster than going to various sites on your own. I think that I would also check google as well, in this case, to be sure that there weren't other sites missing from their database that may have different prices.

I took my first (and only) hell ride last month over the volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was spectacular. Your experience looks much more elegant.

Be careful! One should not criticize Gordon, if he finds out he might visit you and drown you with F words! :D
