Maverick Helicopters: 90-min Las Vegas to Grand Canyon West Helicopter Tour with Canyon Landing and Champagne

Fly from the Las Vegas Strip to the Grand Canyon by helicopter, with a canyon-floor Champagne landing on this 70-minute air tour.

Getting started

Begin at the Las Vegas Strip Terminal, where you check in for your round-trip helicopter flight. After a brief safety orientation, you board your aircraft and lift off directly over the city. The pilot sets course toward Hoover Dam, so you can settle into your seat and get comfortable for the approximately 45‑minute flight to the Grand Canyon.

What to expect

En route to the Grand Canyon

Your flight from Las Vegas tracks east toward one of the United States' most recognized engineering landmarks and desert lake systems.

Features

• The route includes a helicopter tour over Hoover Dam, giving you an aerial look at the dam structure and the surrounding Colorado River corridor from a unique angle.

• Panoramic views of Lake Mead and the Mojave Desert unfold beneath you, with your pilot positioning the helicopter so both are clearly visible during the journey.

• As you cross the desert, you see Temple Rock and Fortification Hill by name, with close views of these formations that are difficult to match from ground level.

Canyon floor landing on Hualapai Indian Territory

The helicopter descends into the Grand Canyon for more than 10 miles of in-canyon flying before reaching the landing site.

Features

• Your flight through the Grand Canyon, over 10 miles, provides vertical views of the canyon walls before you touch down 3,500 feet below the rim on Hualapai Indian Territory.

• The landing takes place on a private bluff roughly 300 feet above the Colorado River, so you can see the water below while remaining on a stable landing area.

• During your 30‑minute canyon floor landing, Champagne, additional beverages, and light snacks are served at the landing site, all included as part of your tour.

• Time on the ground allows you to walk on uneven terrain near the aircraft, take photos of the canyon interior, and experience the quiet of the river corridor before reboarding.

Return flight via Bowl of Fire and Las Vegas

After your canyon stop, you fly back toward Las Vegas, with more desert and city views on the way.

Features

• The outbound and return segments together provide approximately 70 minutes of airtime, including both the approach into the canyon and the climb back out toward the Mojave Desert.

• Your return route includes a flyover of the Bowl of Fire formations, giving you an aerial perspective of these red-rock landscapes distinct from the Grand Canyon itself.

• As you reach the city, your helicopter continues with a flight over Downtown Las Vegas and the Strip, so you can see the casino skyline and main resort corridor from the air before landing back at the Strip Terminal.
