Hey it's Keith Kravitz and WOW spring is looking like an awesome time to try a tour!
In Vegas, it's been heating up, but nothing like summer yet. South Rim temps are bouncing around from cold to warm with something in the middle dominating.
Remember, all of our helicopters are climate-controlled so the only time temps really matter is when you are outside the helicopter, which ONLY applies to Vegas tours like the bottom-landing one.
I also want to point out that it's spring break time, which will continue throughout April. May is when school is out in the U.S. and the wave of family trips start to make their spike up all the way through summer.
Rule of thumb: book now and book early to lock in the best tours at prices that have yet to include multiple summer price increases (I'm not kidding).
Sunset Tours
Sunset flights from Las Vegas are back! They leave once a day and are the last departure. This restriction makes them hard to book because supply is limited. The flight takes off from the Strip and goes over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead before landing at the bottom for a Champagne picnic. Then it's back to Vegas at dusk and a tour over the Vegas lights as they
turn on. Here's availability & prices...
Air-Only (No Landing)
Everything I've read tells me the American economy is strong. I'll take it. Ironically, I've been getting a ton of people asking for the cheapest tour available. They must be spending more in Vegas on food, drink and gaming than on attractions. Hey, whatever floats your boat. In this situation, I recommend taking the air-only flight. It's the cheapest option but, man, you get to see a lot of stuff. Prices & more for this tour here...
Champagne Picnic
The #1 most popular tour is still the bottom-landing Champagne Picnic tour. I've been waiting for another tour to de-throne it but clearly that's not going to happen. What makes it so popular? Value! This tour combines flying over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the Colorado River w/ a bottom-landing. Moreover, the tour is only available from Las Vegas and
going below the rim can only happen at the West Rim. I definitely recommend you try it...
Las Vegas South Rim Plane
I want to point out that you can't take a helicopter to the South Rim. It can't be done because it's too far. The only way to do an air tour from LV to the South Rim is by plane. The flight over takes just 60 minutes. Considering how quick you get there, I'm shocked that people either drive or take the bus 5.5 hours ONE WAY to reach
it. To each his own, I guess. Me, I'll be taking this airplane tour every time until cars turn into rockets.
South Rim Tours
Last word on SR tours: You can privatize all of them except the air-ground package. Helicopters seat six and all those seats can be yours on a private deluxe or economy tour. Great for friends and family.
