Sunset Tour was a highlight!

If your budget allows, a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon will make your Vegas trip absolutely unforgettable. We lucked out, and were able to book a Sunset Tour, at a slight discount, a few hours before departure. The limo that picked us up from our hotel was the only disappointment... it's seen better days, and the driver didn't bother to clean up from the group before us. The helicopter portion did not disappoint though. This trip had it all. We flew over the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, caught a quick glimpse of the Skywalk, landed in the canyon for some nibblies / bubbly, saw the sunset in the canyon, then on the return flight saw a 2nd sunset as we flew along the Strip. All the while, got to listen to some good tunes, and informative / funny commentary from our pilot Fred.
