Makes you wonder. Best bet is it's a helicopter because they fly at a much lower altitude than airplanes. Further, helicopters land on the bottom as well as fly over the West Rim. The landings are intense and involve a 3,500-foot. If you book the right tour, it comes with a Champagne picnic. The flyover, which goes over Lake Mead and Hoover Dam, stays about 1,000 feet over the Canyon's rim and makes a nice pass near the Skywalk. By contrast, airplanes fly at a higher altitude but get to the Canyon quicker. They also do the same flight path as helicopters so you get Hoover and Mead en route. The basic airplane flyover is our cheapest air tour. The one, however, that I like the best is the Skywalk airplane. It's fully loaded tour and comes with a VIP Skywalk pass. So, what is she pointing at? Not sure. But I like her enthusiasm. 

Great selection of helicopter and airplane tours from the LV, including the one in the above video. Choose also from air-only to more deluxe flights that include an extended tour over the Las Vegas Strip. There's even sunset flights! 

We've got tours that depart from Tusayan, AZ, a/k/a South Rim. These are air-only (landing tours are only available from Las Vegas) flights and flight time ranges from 30 minutes to nearly one hour. We've also got combos that include a Jeep tours.
