Las Vegas Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours For Memorial Day Holiday
by Beth Adams
Memorial Day is almost here. If you're going to be in Las Vegas for the holiday, then make sure that you do something to make it special and memorable. Grand Canyon flights are one of the best available tours from the city, and with plenty of options, you will find one that perfectly suits your budget and your needs.
Tips to Take Journeys from Vegas
There are two kinds of journeys from Vegas. These two types of tours are flyover and landing tours. As all trips follow the same route out to the Grand Canyon, you can choose any tour.This indicates that your journey will include flying over the magnificent Hoover Dam and the Lake Mead reservoir. On reaching the Canyon, the trip operator will conduct some attractive moves before going back to Vegas.Your trip includes your being set down at Canyon's top or bottom if you try out the landing journey.
The bottom landing tour is my personal favorite, and it's also hugely popular with visitors. You land down by the Colorado where on alighting the helicopter you can have a memorable time with a champagne picnic. You have to take a boat tour to get the most out of the bottom-landing trip, and get a chance to view the Canyon with a completely different outlook.
Top landing tours are also great, with numerous lookout points and hiking trails being available at the top of the West Rim. There's also the Grand Canyon skywalk, which is a hugely popular tourist attraction. 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
The South Rim is in nearby Arizona, but you'll have to take a short one hour plane journey to get there from Las Vegas. At the South Rim you can take a 50 minute helicopter tour that covers the North and South Rims, as well as the boundary at the eastern area of the park. If you do want to go to the South Rim, I recommend the flight rather than driving, because the journey is 5.5 hours from Vegas if you take your car or a tour bus.
Reserving Exclusive Tours
While making ticket reservations, you have to select between basic and exclusive. As there is only a small difference in ticket rates I always advise the exclusive as it also gives a beautiful experience. The modified EcoStar 130 helicopter for sightseeing is used on exclusive trips. Not only is its viewing window bigger than any other helicopter's, it has enormous seats set in a stadium layout to ensure no one's view is blocked. With its included limousine commute service, the exclusive tours add more value to the already exclusive tour bundle.
Verdict
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. Memorial Day and the surrounding days will be extremely busy, and you don't want to miss out on tickets. Book online for convenience, and confirm using your credit card so that your seats are secured. By booking online you will also get the best 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.
