The 10 best Las Vegas helicopter tours

Las Vegas's renowned Strip is a sight to behold from street level—just imagine how incredible it'll look from a bird's-eye view. After a hotel pick-up (drop-off is also included), you’ll board your bird for a ten-minute flight above the city's famous lights. While your pilot shares tales and points out landmarks, you’ll fly past the Stratosphere tower, over the Venetian, Treasure Island and above the iconic Bellagio fountains, before touching down on solid ground once again.

Glocks, sniper rifles, machine guns… Grab your weapon of choice for an outdoor shooting experience on this action-packed tour. After a photo op stop at Hoover Dam, take aim at an Arizona range, where you can pull the trigger on a wide array of weapons. Make a day of it and upgrade your package to include a 90-minute Grand Canyon helicopter tour and three-hour ATV ride through Lake Mead National Park to the Colorado River.

Do look down. That’s the point of this adrenaline-pumping adventure that whisks visitors to Grand Canyon West, where they can bypass the crowds and brave the stunning Skywalk. Located on Hualapai tribal land, the horseshoe-shaped glass bridge juts out from the rim, offering an astonishing view of the canyon and the Colorado River a whopping 4,000 feet down. Catch your breath and spend 15 minutes absorbing the magic from your airy perch. A once-in-a-lifetime view of a one-of-a-kind wonder.

Dine at the hands of the Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro, who touts more than bakes at his Vegas Italian restuarant. Buddy V's Ristorante is situated inside The Venetian, where you'll enjoy a three-course tasting meal and afterwards take to the skies by metal bird to see the glittering Strip lights by night.

Toast Champagne whilst exploring the West Rim of the Grand Canyon from the comfort of a helicopter. See where the Hualapai tribe resides and the location of the Skywalk, the infamous glass bridge that juts out from the mountain over a drop that'll get the adrenaline pumping. Add on a stop at Hoover Dam to really top the day off and grab snaps on the renowned Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. Other optional activities include lunch and entry to the Skywalk.

See the iconic Las Vegas landmarks in all their glittering glory with a night flight over the city. Is the Bellagio fountain as impressive from above? Does Treasure Island seem as spectacular when you're looking down on it? Does the Sphere display actually go all the way round? (Spoiler alert: it absolutely does.) Discover all these answers and more on this thrilling excursion.

Step back in time with a visit to The Neon Museum. This Vegas stalwart houses historic signs that once lit up the city's cultural venues and hotels/motels. Pair that with the perfect night flight to see the Strip's present-day illuminations. Hotel pick-up from the Strip and Downtown is also included.

Land on Red Rock Canyon after a flight over southern Nevada on this helicopter tour. For starters, the views will be spectacular, but even more special is the fact you'll get to land on a private spot above the valley, where you'll sip Champagne while looking out onto the Mojave Desert. Then enjoy a leisurely flight home as dusk settles and the bright lights of Vegas shine.

Why limit yourself to one form of transport when you can enjoy three? Take the to the sky and the sea (well, river) on this plane, helicopter and boat tour. Over the course of seven hours, participants will explore the Grand Canyon via plane, before switching to helicopter to make your descent below the rim and landing beside the Colorado River, where you'll board a pontoon for a ridiculously pleasant sailing trip.

If the idea of hurtling through the air in a mechanical bird is too much for you, we've got an alternative: the Flyover experience. This unique attraction located next to the Hard Rock Cafe on the Las Vegas Strip, which has been delighting the slightly less adventurous thrill-seekers since 2021, offers breathtaking vistas of the Grand Canyon, Mojave Desert, Lake Tahoe and more. Get fully immersed thanks to a 52-foot wraparound spherical screen, flight-motion seats that swoop, dip and turn, and mists and breezes imbued with scents of the locale on-screen.
