Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour is a Must When in Las Vegas

The weather is beautiful and perfect for what else—a helicopter ride.  There is no better way to see the splendor of the Grand Canyon than by a helicopter tour by Papillon Helicopter Tours in Las Vegas, NV.  The Grand Canyon truly is “grand” in nature, but being able to see its greatness up close brings a whole new perspective.

The helicopter tour begins with a bus ride from Las Vegas (pick up from your hotel of choice) to the airport located outside of Las Vegas.  The bus ride is long (about 45 minutes); however, the nice, plush, leather seats make it a more than a comfortable ride.  The excitement of seeing the Grand Canyon from a bird’s eye view makes the anticipation almost intolerable.  Upon arrival, guests should utilize the restrooms because there are no facilities once you leave the airport and the total time from departure and return is approximately one hour and a half.

The views from the helicopter are simply breathtaking.  The desert shows her beauty and complexity by exhibiting desert, grasslands, and snow capped mountains, while views of the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead are equally impressive.  From the sky, the pilot provides an excellent narration of the history of the area including the building of the Hoover Dam, the ownership of the Grand Canyon, and local history of the gold mining industry.

Once in the Grand Canyon, a champagne picnic lunch tops off a picturesque backdrop of the Canyon and its maker the Colorado River.  Millions of years of creation are right at your feet and you cannot help but inhale the wonder of the Grand Canyon and the simple complexity of life.  The value of the trip exceeds the cost with each blink of the eye.

Papillon Helicopter Tours provides an exciting alternative to an all day bus tour to the Grand Canyon.  If you have 3 or 4 days in Las Vegas, you do not have to sacrifice the Canyon because the helicopter tour takes up half a day, at the most five and a half hours.  You can go see the Canyon and be back on the strip for dinner and a show without skipping a beat.  This is highly recommended for any visit to Las Vegas.
