Vegas Grand Canyon Chopper Tours For Valentine's (Feb. 14) Travelers
by Ione Mahler
Valentine's Day is this February 14. Do you have something special planned? A trip to Las Vegas and a Grand Canyon tour can turn the average date, into a spectacular romantic adventure. Just remember that this is one of the busiest times of year, so you'll need to book soon to secure your seats, and the best ticket prices.
Las Vegas Tours
Flying from Las Vegas is special, because even before you get to the Grand Canyon, you will fly over the Hoover Dam and its reservoir, Lake Mead. This is the perfect sight to get you excited for the Canyon. You can choose air-only tours, or tours that land at the top or bottom of the West Rim.
Because it's going to be Valentine's Day, I recommend the deluxe helicopter tours. These depart directly from the Las Vegas strip, and they include a limousine shuttle service. These tours also perform a flyover of the Las Vegas Strip, allowing you to see all of the landmarks in the brightest city on earth.
The main reason deluxe tours are worth the price is because they use EcoStar 130 helicopters. These are the largest helicopters that fly to the Canyon. These helicopters have a stadium style seating arrangement, large cabins, and a huge panoramic windscreen. You'll get the best views possible on one of these helicopters.
Romantic Champagne Toast
Hands down, my favorite tour at the Grand Canyon is the landing tour at the West Rim. This will take you right into the Canyon, setting you down at the bottom, where you will toast the occasion with a Champagne picnic. This is absolutely perfect for Valentine's Day.
At the top of the Canyon, there's also the Skywalk. The Skywalk is a massive glass viewing platform that lets you walk out 70 feet past the edge of the rim. Not only that, it sits 4000 feet above the Canyon floor below. The view from there is simply amazing, and it's a great photo op too. There are professional photographers on site to capture the moment, which would make for the perfect Valentine's memento.
Even if you can't stretch your budget to the landing tour, make sure that you book one of the deluxe air-only tours. The flyover is impressive and unforgettable, and you still get the Las Vegas flyover, as well as the limousine service.
Booking Early
Tours are in high demand, so you will need to book soon. The deluxe tours are especially popular, so if you want all the VIP perks, be sure to get your seats locked in two weeks ahead of time. If you put it off, the tour might sell out before you can lock in your seats. Sometimes you get lucky and can grab a seat at the last minute, but even if you can, you'll probably have to pay more for your tour.
You can expect the weather at the West Rim to be very similar to the weather in Vegas. Plus, the helicopters are climate-controlled, so you won't need to take more than a sweater on an air-only tour. It's best to take a jacket along if you plan to take a landing tour.
South Rim Tours
All of the South Rim helicopter tours start in Arizona, so you'll need to take a plane from Vegas, which is a short one-hour flight. Here, you can either tour the South Rim in an airplane, or purchase tickets for a deluxe helicopter tour. Helicopter tours are the best choice though because they fly lower and you can see better through the panoramic windscreen.
Conclusion
Now that you know what is available, you can plan the perfect Grand Canyon getaway from Las Vegas. Valentine's is the perfect time to travel, just remember to book early, and to get the best prices, complete your transaction online with your credit card. Deluxe tours are the best way to treat your significant other, but almost any Grand Canyon air tour will make for a special trip. Choose one that works for you, and I know that it will be your best Valentine's Day so far.
