Vegas Grand Canyon National Park Chopper Excursions For Memorial Day Vacation

By Beth Adams


Memorial Day is round the corner. For those who will be holidaying in Las Vegas, put in some efforts to make your holiday both outstanding and unforgettable. One of the best ways to tour the city is through Grand Canyon flight and you are sure to find one from the many options fitting both your requirements and financial plan

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 will be set down right next to the Colorado River, and you can enjoy a champagne picnic after exiting the helicopter. If you want to get even more out of the bottom landing tour, then make sure that you book a boat tour, which will allow you to witness the Canyon from a whole new perspective.

The many hiking routes and observation points on the West Rim are what make the top landing tour so attractive. There is another immensely well-known sight amongst tourists which is the Grand Canyon skywalk. Standing at 70ft from the platform's edge and 4000ft from the Canyon's bottom the transparent flooring gives you the an outstanding tingling experience.One of the legal photographers of the park will take your photo at this penultimate photo point.

Grand Canyon South

You have to take a short air trip spanning an hour to reach South Rim, which is in adjacent Arizona, from Las Vegas. There is a 50minute helicopter ride at the South Rim, which crosses the North and South rims and the park's eastern region's borders. If you plan to visit the South Rim, it is better if you take the flight than drive down as the road trip spans 5.5 hours from Vegas on car or 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.

Conclusion

Lastly, make it a point to make advance reservations. If you ask me, reservations should be made no later than fifteen days from the date you intend to fly. You don't want to miss your tickets with Memorial Day and its peripheral days being so busy. For confirmed seat reservations, use your credit cards while making convenient online bookings. Online bookings also assure you premium prices.

Don't forget to bring along some snacks, light clothes to cover your arms, sunscreen and bottled water as it is very hot at the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. Select the perfect date and tour offer and you can expect one of the best experiences found in North America.
