Helicopter Tours

Helicopter tour prices depend on where you fly. Short Strip night flights are the most affordable option, while Grand Canyon helicopter tours cost more because they fly farther and often land in the canyon. Sunset flights and tours with a Colorado River add-on sit at the top end. Each tour lists its current price.

Yes. Strip night flights are the most affordable helicopter option, taking you over the lights of the Las Vegas Strip for about 10–15 minutes. Some Grand Canyon sunset tours also include a Strip flyover on the way back. They’re popular for couples and special occasions.

Yes. Several West Rim helicopter tours land on the canyon floor, often near the Colorado River. Air-only tours that fly over the rim without landing are cheaper. Landing tours run longer — typically a half day round trip from Las Vegas.

A Grand Canyon helicopter tour gives you aerial views of the canyon you can’t get any other way, and floor-landing flights add the experience of standing at the bottom. It’s a splurge, but for a once-in-a-lifetime trip many travelers consider it the highlight of their visit.

Strip night flights are the shortest, around 1–2 hours including transfers for a 10–15 minute flight. Grand Canyon helicopter tours run a half day, and combo tours with a plane or Colorado River add-on can take most of a day. Most include hotel pickup and drop-off.

Strip flights are best at night, when the lights are at their brightest. Grand Canyon flights are stunning at sunset, though daytime flights offer the clearest canyon detail. Booking ahead is recommended, as popular sunset slots fill quickly.
