  • Grand Canyon West Rim Helicopter Landing Tour from Las Vegas

    grand-canyon-west 路 about 2.3 hours terminal to terminal (Maverick Wind Dancer) to 4-4.5 hours hotel to hotel (Papillon Grand Celebration) 路 from $529 per person (Papillon Grand Celebration, taxes and fees included per Papillon; a fuel surcharge may apply at check-in)

    A helicopter flight from the Las Vegas area over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead to Grand Canyon West, with a landing below the rim on Hualapai land and champagne before the flight back.

    Grand Canyon West sits on the Hualapai Reservation in northwest Arizona. The Hualapai Tribe owns and runs it, and it is not part of Grand Canyon National Park, so national park passes are not accepted there. The Tribe puts the drive from Las Vegas at about two hours, and a flight at about 30 minutes each way.

  • Las Vegas Strip Helicopter Flight

    las-vegas 路 10-15 minutes in the air; about 1.5 hours hotel to hotel when transfers are included (Papillon VIP After Dark) 路 from $99 per person, flight only, no hotel transfers (Papillon Strip Highlights); a fuel surcharge may apply at check-in

    A 10 to 15 minute helicopter flight from a terminal south of the Strip, up the Strip to Downtown Las Vegas and back, offered at night and, at Maverick, during the day.

    Strip helicopter flights are short sightseeing loops over Las Vegas Boulevard. Both operators here fly from terminals just south of the resort corridor. Maverick's is at 6075 S. Las Vegas Blvd., near the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Papillon's is at 5060 Koval Lane.

  • Grand Canyon Sunset Helicopter Tour with Las Vegas Strip Return

    grand-canyon-west 路 about 2.5 hours from the terminal (Maverick) to 3.5-4 hours hotel to hotel (Papillon) 路 from $629 per person (Maverick Wind Dancer Sunset; Maverick says prices vary by season and demand)

    A late-day helicopter tour that lands in Grand Canyon West, then flies back over the Las Vegas Strip around sunset as the lights come on.

    This is one tour, not two. Operators time an afternoon Grand Canyon landing flight so that the return leg crosses the Las Vegas Strip as the sun goes down. Neither operator reviewed here sells a separate daytime canyon flight plus a later Strip night flight as a single combo package.
