If you’re on the fence about this, just do it. I dragged my girlfriend along last minute, and we both were grinning like idiots the whole time. The helicopter ride felt suuuper smooth (I was kinda worried I’d get sick, but nope), and the pilot, Brian, is a LEGEND. Pointed out all sorts of weird rocks and even cracked a joke about aliens. Only thing: you can’t take pics inside the cockpit for safety, which is a bummer for Insta, but honestly, the views are burned into my brain anyway. If you can, try for a sunset flight – it’s unreal watching the city lights flick on all at once, like someone flipped a switch. 10/10, would do again if my wallet recovers.

Took my dad for his bday, and he’s still talking about it, haha. The ground crew was super chill and made sure my nervous dad was calm. The views are honestly EPIC. Only downside was we had to wait about 20 mins past our slot, so bring something to do, but once you're up, you forget all about it. Pilot even let us wear the headsets, which felt cooool. Would recommend for families.

I surprised my partner for our anniversary and wow, what a HIT. The staff gave us a little anniversary shoutout before we got in (cute!), and the flight was SOOO smooth. Our pilot, Jenny, was super knowledgeable and pointed out secret spots you’d never notice from the ground. Pro tip: don’t wear a hat, it WILL fly away. Def worth the hype.

Went solo, was a bit nervous but staff were super sweet. They paired me with a couple and we all ended up chatting like old friends. The ride itself is smooth, not scary at all (I’m scared of heights, btw). The city looks like a toy from above! Worth every penny. Bring sunglasses if you’re flying before sunset – it gets BRIGHT.

Best birthday gift ever! My friends surprised me with this and I think I screamed when we took off (sorry to the couple in front). The pilot played a special playlist and even let us pick a song midair. You can’t beat the views. If you’re scared of heights, just trust me – you’ll forget you’re even flying.

Fly round-trip from the Las Vegas Strip for a 1-hour helicopter tour over Red Rock Canyon with a secluded valley landing and champagne toast.

Getting started

Check in at the Las Vegas Strip Terminal for your round-trip helicopter flight. After a brief safety overview, board your aircraft and lift off toward the Mojave Desert. The route heads out of the city, giving you an early look at the Las Vegas Valley as you fly toward the fiery-red sandstone cliffs of Red Rock Canyon.

What to expect

Red Rock Canyon and desert valley landing

This helicopter tour first carries you over the brilliant Red Rock Canyon and its scenic loop in the Mojave Desert. The flight then touches down at a secluded overlook perched 2,900 feet above the Las Vegas Valley for an extended stop.

Features

During the flight over brilliant Red Rock Canyon, you see the contrast between fiery-red sandstone cliffs and the surrounding desert, along with the wider Las Vegas Valley landscape below.

At the landing almost 3,000 feet above Vegas, you spend approximately 30 minutes at a panoramic overlook 2,900 feet above the city, taking in views of the Strip, the valley, and the surrounding desert.

A private landing site is reserved for your group, with a picnic table at the landing site so you can sit, relax, and use it as a base while you explore the overlook.

A champagne toast with panoramic desert views is served during this stop, adding a celebratory moment as you look out across the Mojave Desert.

Las Vegas Strip flyover

After your landing, you reboard the helicopter for the return leg toward central Las Vegas. The route passes back over residential areas and then lines you up with the most recognizable stretch of the city.

Features

Airtime on this experience is approximately 12–15 minutes each way, giving you time in the air to watch the route change from desert and estates to the heart of Las Vegas.

On the return segment, your pilot flies over the Las Vegas Strip, with a route that includes Caesars Palace, Bellagio, Allegiant Stadium, and other resort landmarks lit against the valley backdrop.

The total tour duration is approximately 1 hour, combining your outbound and inbound flights with the 30-minute landing, so you can plan the rest of your day or evening around a defined time window.

This experience includes a round-trip helicopter flight on the Scenic Desert Valley Landing Flight with Champagne Toast and Strip Views, with flight over Red Rock Canyon and Las Vegas Strip built directly into the route.
