Helicopter tours in Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas is one of the most popular helicopter tour hubs in the world, both for short Strip-and-lights flights at night and as the launch point for longer Grand Canyon tours.
When's the best time to fly?
Spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) bring comfortable temperatures and clear desert skies. Summer is the busiest season with the most flight options, but daytime heat climbs well past 100°F (38°C), so an early-morning or evening departure is worth requesting.
What should I bring?
Light layers and sunglasses for a daytime flight; if you're booking a night flight over the Strip, bring a light jacket since the desert cools off quickly after dark.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Las Vegas have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
