Information About The Unique Las Vegas Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours To Choose From
There’s a reason why it’s called the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas Grand Canyon helicopter tours make it even grander when seen from the sky up above the rims and chasm. There are several different tours, and each one involves something different with a unique view of the Canyon, and additional activities to boot.
Every helicopter tour in Vegas comes with first-class service, including climate-controlled choppers and hotel pick-ups and dropoffs. But there are some basic rules, such as no bags or big containers of food, etc. The helicopter can accommodate only around 5 people, and even within that the weight needs to be spread around.
The passengers are seated according to their weight, so as to balance the load. Time and budgetary concerns are the main factors on which the choice of tour depends. The cheapest tour, and the one which can be wrapped up quickly, is the aerial only tour.
The air plus ground tours where the chopper lands at the Canyon base is probably the best choice given that it doesn’t cost all that much more, but offers so much more. For those seeking an adrenalin rush, nothing better than a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon followed by a rafting expedition.
Aerial Tours: The Grand Canyon is all of 45 minutes from Las Vegas, but the chopper takes its own sweet time and covers a lot of ground to and fro in three hours. This includes stunning views of the Colorado River, Lake Mead, Boulder City and the Hoover Dam. The main event of the tour, though, is still the Grand Canyon. Also note that different tour companies have different itineraries, so it’s best to get it sorted out in advance.
Air plus Ground Tours: In addition to all that comes with the aforementioned aerial tour, this chopper lands at the Canyon base and allows passengers to disembark. After the dizzying ride from the canyon rim down 3000 to 4000 ft to the inner gorge, passengers enjoy a picnic with the Colorado River view. Some tours alternatively take passengers to the Skywalk, instead of down to the inner gorge.
Adventure Tours: Includes everything the above two tours include, and also a rafting expedition on the Colorado River. This means a helicopter ride with a view of the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and Boulder City, followed by the sight of the Grand Canyon. If the dizzying descent from the rim down to the inner gorge doesn’t get the adrenalin pumping, the raft experience surely will. Picnic lunch and champagne at the Grand Canyon is also an experience worth remembering.

On the Rim $72 Why do nearly five million people travel to the Grand Canyon each year? Mark Neumann answers this question with a book as compelling as the panoramic vistas of the canyon. In On the Rim, he describes how the Grand Canyon became an internationally renowned tourist attraction and cultural icon, and delves into the meanings the place holds for the individuals who live, work, and travel there. In the chasm’s dizzying depths and flamboyant displacement of solid ground, as well as in the perceptions of those drawn thereexplorers and day-trippers, employees and outlaws, artists and fast-buck artistsNeumann discovers a context in which to examine cultural and experimental fissures that separate leisure and work, home and away, religion and science, art and life. . . .
