text: Absolutely incredible experience Pricey for sure but considering this is one of those once in a lifetime experiences I felt it was definitely worth the money This tour is especially recommended for those short on time It takes only minutes for the helicopter to reach the canyon but to get their by car or bus would take hours They offer multiple flights per day and if you are willing to wake up early for an early departure you can easily fit this into a Vegas trip with NO effect on your other Vegas plans nnWe reserved our seats a week in advance on the Grand Celebration Tour The day before we got a call informing us to our very pleasant surprise that we were being upgraded to the Grand Celebration Tour w the Vegas Strip runby nnOn the day of our tour our driver was already waiting for us as we made our way down from our hotel room mind you we came down minutes before departure time so I wonder how long before he arrived Very professional and friendly Riding in a limo to the airfield was definitely a nice touch For both my wife and I it was a firsttime experience After arriving our driver showed us the way to the checkin terminal where we were greeted by the staff who were also all very professional nnAfter waiting for around minutes and watching a safety video we were shuttled to the helicopter pads where we got to meet our pilots The pilots are definitely a real highlight of the experience as ours was very well informed of all the sights on the way to the canyon He was quick to point out all the interesting things to see nnThe real gem of the trip was the canyon itself of course Once you arrive the pilot takes you through the canyon so you can get some great aerial views above and INSIDE the canyon Flying through the ridges is something you will want to experience Landing down onto the canyon floor is definitely one of the most unique experiences only to be bested by watching our pilot expertly take off and maneuver through the hilly terrain of the canyon floor nnThe trip includes lunch at the bottom The Ciabatta bread turkey sandwich was alright nothing too special However lunch includes complementary champagne Where else can you have a toast while at the bottom of one of the worlds most spectacular canyons
