Sure, you can sit in the grandstand and watch Formula One cars whizz past for a hundred bucks or so, visit a VIP experience like the Bellagio Fountain Club ($13,015) or spend a wad of cash for a Paddock Pass and party in the F1 Garage with Gordon Ramsay for a cool $35,000. Or you can take to the skies and soar over it all in a helicopter for a lot less.
From November 21 to 23, Maverick Helicopters is offering a very different view of the Las Vegas Grand Prix with flights over the race circuit. Called the Vegas Victory Lap Flight, the race weekend experience will take adventure seekers high above the 17-turn, 3.8-mile course.
Available both before or during live race action, the 10-to-12-minute flight will give sightseers a bird’s-eye view of the track and other Las Vegas landmarks including the Bellagio, Sphere, Allegiant Stadium and downtown Las Vegas.
Flights start at $169 per person and are available from noon to 11pm on Thursday and Friday (November 21 and 22) and until midnight on Saturday (November 23).
For nearly 30 years, Maverick Helicopters has flown visitors over epic destinations in several states including Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii and California.
