Memorial Day is round the corner. For those who will be holidaying in Las Vegas, put in some efforts to make your holiday both outstanding and unforgettable. One of the best ways to tour the city is through Grand Canyon flight and you are sure to find one from the many options fitting both your requirements and financial plan
Taking Tours from Vegas
There are two types of Vegas tours. There are flyover tours, and then there are landing tours. As all trips follow the same route out to the Grand Canyon, you can choose any tour. This means that there will be a flyover of the Lake Mead reservoir, and the impressive Hoover Dam. On reaching the Canyon, the trip operator will conduct some attractive moves before going back to Vegas. Your tour operator will set you down at the Canyon's top or bottom if you opt for the landing trip.
The bottom landing tour is my personal favorite, and it's also hugely popular with visitors. You will be set down right next to the Colorado River, and you can enjoy a champagne picnic after exiting the helicopter. If you want to get even more out of the bottom landing tour, then make sure that you book a boat tour, which will allow you to witness the Canyon from a whole new perspective.
Of course, the top landing trips are also wonderful with its various trekking routes and observation spots atop the West Rim. The Grand Canyon skywalk is also a very famous place of interest. This platform has a transparent floor, which will give you the ultimate thrill as you stand 70ft from the rim, and 4000ft from the bottom of the Canyon. It's the perfect spot to have your photo taken by one of the official park photographers.
South Grand Canyon
You have to take a short air trip spanning an hour to reach South Rim, which is in adjacent Arizona, from Las Vegas. There is a 50minute helicopter ride at the South Rim, which crosses the North and South rims and the park's eastern region's borders. If you plan to visit the South Rim, it is better if you take the flight than drive down as the road trip spans 5.5 hours from Vegas on car or tour bus.
Booking Deluxe Tours
You have to pick between luxury and basic while reserving your tickets. As there is only a small difference in ticket rates I always advise the exclusive as it also gives a beautiful experience. The EcoStar 130 helicopter, which are customized for excursions are used in luxury tours. It has a larger viewing window than any other helicopter, and it has large seats in a stadium layout so that nobody's view is obstructed. With its included limousine commute service, the exclusive tours add more value to the already exclusive tour bundle.
Conclusion
As a last word, make sure that you book your tickets soon. I recommend that bookings are made no later than two weeks before you intend to fly. You don't want to miss your tickets with Memorial Day and its peripheral days being so busy. For confirmed seat reservations, use your credit cards while making convenient online bookings. Online bookings also assure you premium prices.
As it is extremely hot in the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, you need to take along some light clothes to cover your arms, bottled water, sunscreen and some food. Get ready for a penultimate experience available nowhere else in North America after picking your desired date and tour pack.
