Best. Birthday. Ever. The views, the excitement of being in a helicopter…it was all so much to take in. I had never been inside of a helicopter (so much less scary than I’d imagined!) and I’d never been to the Grand Canyon (so much bigger than I’d imagined!), so this was a trip full of firsts. Our pilot was very nice, knew what she was doing, and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. On the way there, we saw lots of Lake Mead, and our pilot even did a circle around the Hoover Dam so everyone got a chance for great pictures. The music in the helicopter was a great playlist, and I was also really surprised at how tasty the lunch was. When I read “champagne picnic”, I wasn’t expecting the delicious deli sandwiches that came with it! It was so neat to see the strip on the way back too. I was totally pleased with the entire experience. My husband’s set his bar REALLY high for next year’s birthday!
The pilot at the office, checking us in was very unpleasant. Not sure if he had a bad day, but didn't make a good impression of the company. Fortuantely, we had another pilot for our tour and he was excellent! The tour is pricey, but we thought worth it.
The All American was everything I’d hoped for and honestly, more. The staff is wonderfully professional, and you really got the sense that safety was key. Because of that, when we first took off from the heliport, I could focus more on the exhilaration and less on the fear of flying! The trip to the Grand Canyon was accompanied by nonstop tunes (some of them witty to the timing of the landscape) and live commentary from our pilot. We all had microphones as well if we ever wanted to ask anything. Every seat had great views, and on the way back we were rotated so everyone got the chance to see something new. I’ll be honest, I almost preferred the windows in the rear of the helicopter! The stop inside of the canyon was a gorgeous view, and we enjoyed a surprisingly delicious lunch, accompanied with champagne, soft drinks, and lots of time for photos and questions. Then, on the flight back, we got some fantastic views over the strip, catching a once in a lifetime view of our hotel from above. I was sad to get out but I had SUCH a great time. It was a birthday present for my wife, but I’d say I made out pretty well too.
Overall, it was an awesome ride! It was the first time experience for both my husband and I. A couple of improvements that would make this trip perfect - lunch time was rushed, we didn't even have time to finish a sandwich; and before I booked this trip, I was told that we would have time to go on SkyWalk, but the helicopter didn't park near that area.
This trip was absolutely incredible! The pilot was really funny and kept us entertained throughout without detracting from teh most incredible views i have ever witnessed. At first it might appear expensive, but i would have happily paid more!
The trip was well organised with comfortable buses and enough time to visit all the spots. Our bus guide was amazing and very knowledgeable and kept us entertained through most of the route.
This was a great day although very hot. Could have done with more time at the Canyon, and due to a passenger being late we spent less time at the Hoover Dam which was disappointing. The PA in the bus was also disappointing. But words cannot describe the Grand Canyon.

Out of my Vegas Vacation this part of my trip was the most memorable. The tour guide and the sites we visited were awesome. I would definitely do it again, I would just take a sandwich or something cause the food was not the best.
