Hey it's Keith Kravitz and WOW the flying season is shaping up nicely!
The weather is holding and whatever the temps are (super hot or cold) it doesn't matter because our helicopters are climate-controlled.
Visibility has been awesome at both rims and there are sights to behold below, to the side and right in front of you as we fly the Canyon.
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.
