To tour Las Vegas by night in a helicopter, any time of year, is one of the top things to do on your visit to the city.  Tour companies offer spectacular views from six-seater state of the art helicopters.  These jet helicopters are renowned for their excellent manoeuvrability and many passengers have praised them for the smoothness of their flight.  This is an excellent way to see the dazzling Las Vegas Strip and is available between 6pm and 8pm, depending on the time of year.

The flights themselves last around twelve minutes, which may sound comparatively short, but it’s sufficient for you to see all the sights.  You will need to allow around an hour and half for the whole tour, due to loading and unloading plus your special champagne toast before you board.

Departing from the heliport close to the strip, you’ll start by flying past the large pyramid at the Luxor hotel, with its bright light shining up into the night sky.  You’ll see the magical dancing water fountains of the Bellagio and the legendary Caesar’s Palace, which has hosted many sporting events including World Championship Boxing Matches and Formula One Grand Prix.

You may see a fight of pirates at Treasure Island before witnessing in close detail the Eiffel Tower at Paris.  You will also fly past the Venetian and Mirage hotels, before flying over the downtown area. To top it all off, you will fly around the amazing Stratosphere Tower, which rises up to 1,000 feet in the air.

All of the seats on the helicopter will offer you an unrivalled view of the sights of this magnificent city.  As you sit gazing across the Las Vegas Skyline, your pilot will provide you with commentary of the city through your headphones.  Feel free to ask any questions about this memorising city, your pilot will be happy to assist where they can.

There are many additional extras you can pay for, including a limousine to pick you up and drop you off at your hotel, VIP Nightclub admission and even a top class dinner.  This tour is the best way to immerse into the Las Vegas lifestyle.

The Las Vegas Night Strip Helicopter Tour is one of the most exhilarating, memorising and incredible helicopter rides you can go on.  Once upon a time these views were reserved for the rich or for movies, but for around $70 you to can share the experience.  If you’ve had a good night in one of the casinos you can really spoil yourself, if not you can commiserate yourself with some of the most breath taking views in the world.  The tour may be relatively short, but the memories will last a lifetime.
