Maverick Aviation Group

Visiting Las Vegas can be a bit overwhelming with all the area attractions and the strip itself can take days alone! Not to worry though... Maverick Helicopters is here to save the day! With a Grand Canyon Helicopter tour from our south Las Vegas location, you get to see Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, land in the Grand Canyon AND take a scenic helicopter tour down the strip on your return! That is 3 attractions within 2-3 hours!

To assist tourists in getting the most out of their time in Las Vegas, we have compiled a list of 5 Las Vegas must-see attractions by helicopter.

#1: Las Vegas strip at night. All the glitter and lights in Las Vegas is best appreciated from an aerial viewpoint. Not only do you not have to deal with crowded sidewalks, but you you get the best Las Vegas sightseeing trip available without taking up too much of your trip. The average Las Vegas strip helicopter tour is 15-20 minutes and costs no more than $100.

#2: Hoover Dam. This is another busy attraction that is breath-taking from the air. On the ground, you really can't grasp just how big the dam is. Seeing it from a helicopter, you are able to see the jaw-dropping cement structure that is Hoover Dam. You also get a great view of the amazing construction of the bypass being built.

#3: Lake Mead. The largest man-made lake in the United States is at your fingertips when you visit Sin City. Taking a Grand Canyon helicopter tour takes you over Lake Mead not once, but twice to get a true feeling of how big it really is. Covering 110 miles, it would be difficult to take in the whole lake by land but the helicopter tours fly over the lake close enough to see any wildlife sunning themselves by the shore!

#4: Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon offers many different activities including South Rim helicopter tours as well as West Rim helicopter tours. The West Rim and South Rim are

completely different and should be appreciated for those differences. The West Rim helicopter tours offered by Maverick lands 3,500 feet below the rim and can only be accessed by helicopter. For those that are not hikers or just want to sit back and take in the breath-taking view, a Grand Canyon helicopter tour is the right fit!

#5: Valley of Fire. This is not the first attraction people often think about when visiting Las Vegas but it is a must-see! Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest state park and offers views

that can't be beat with the red rocks that seem, as the name states, on fire. Maverick offers private helicopter charters to the Valley of Fire as well as helicopter weddings. Plus a helicopter ride is only a quick 30 minute flight!
