Not many days left for Memorial Day. As you are anyway spending your holidays in Las Vegas, it's better you work at making your vacation as unique and remarkable as possible. Grand Canyon air journeys are the best means of touring the city and with so many flight options to choose from, you are sure to find something fitting your finances and wants.
Taking Tours from Vegas
There are two types of Vegas tours. There are flyover tours, and then there are landing tours. As all trips follow the same route out to the Grand Canyon, you can choose any tour. This means that there will be a flyover of the Lake Mead reservoir, and the impressive Hoover Dam. On reaching the Canyon, the trip operator will conduct some attractive moves before going back to Vegas. Your tour operator will set you down at the Canyon's top or bottom if you opt for the landing trip.
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
The South Rim is in nearby Arizona, but you'll have to take a short one hour plane journey to get there from Las Vegas. At the South Rim you can take a 50 minute helicopter tour that covers the North and South Rims, as well as the boundary at the eastern area of the park. If you do want to go to the South Rim, I recommend the flight rather than driving, because the journey is 5.5 hours from Vegas if you take your car or a tour bus.
Booking Deluxe 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.
Judgement
As a last word, make sure that you book your tickets soon. I recommend that bookings are made no later than two weeks before 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.
It's going to be hot at Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, so don't forget to bring a pack with sunblock, bottled water, some snacks, and some light clothing that will cover your arms. Choose your date and your tour package, and get ready for one of the best adventures available anywhere in North America.
