Las Vegas, NV: So you say you have seen every last part of Vegas from the strip inside and out. Well then we have something that some have never even thought of when it comes to traveling to Las Vegas. What we are referring to is Vegas by Helicopter. For those who thought that they have seen it all, then they have never seen it from high in the sky. We must say that after this trip you will never look at Las Vegas the same way.
For starters the helpful folks at Maverick will provide you with first class service by picking you up and dropping you off at your hotel. They will then drive you to their launching area where the trip of a lifetime begins. Our helicopter adventure was their nightly strip tours.
The strip tour which begins with you strapping yourself in one of their new ASTAR Jet Helicopters and with one of the knowledgeable pilots, the tour is for sure going to be one of your best memories of your trip to Las Vegas. One of the best parts of the trip, is that you get to see all around unlike in a plane where you are forced to look out a small window at what you are looking at.
We were most impressed with the knowledgeable staff and the champagne they offered before our flight. This is certainly on way to relax and enjoy some of the best sights yet. If you thought the Stratosphere looked good before from the roller coaster, how about gliding right past the tip of it and having the rest of the strip right behind you.
Your experience also puts you in the pilots seat. When you slide on the headphones, not only does the pilot give you insight on the tour, you can talk to him just as any pilot and to listen to the air traffic controllers on arrival and approach to the airfield make you feel as if you have total control over the helicopter.
The one hour trip allows you to see all of the strip and the downtown Las Vegas area and the $79 is probably the best money you will loose while in Vegas.
If the trip wasn't enough try taking home a video of your trip. With Maverick's state of the art video equipment in each helicopter your trip will be seen for some time to come in the presence of your own home.
