Only Bring a wallet or a purse. No big bags are allowed on the chopper. A bag can be left in their office until you return from the tour. Before takeoff, everyone is, weighed. There is max weight allowed for each helicopter. If you get the chance, pay extra for the front seat. Only two people get this option, and it's first to come, first served. So if you want the first seat, book at the same time as the flight. Don't forget your ID, They will ask you for it, and there is no ride without it. There is a gift shop for anyone who wants a memento of the trip. Once all people in your group are ready, there is a waiting area, stay there till they call you.

The view is awe-inspiring. After flying around a bit, It's time to land in the bottom of the canyon for brunch. The brunch was an amazing surprise for me. My hubby never told me we were having champagne when we landed. The area is only, seen by people on the helicopter ride. You cannot get to the area by trails. Everyone unloaded, We had a look around. As we got our legs back, the pilot prepared for the picnic brunch. In total, you get about 30 minutes to eat and take a wonder around. What a beautiful place! The food was fantastic, and the campaign was the cherry on top. You will never forget the trip here. Enjoy the land and be grateful you could land here.

Everyone will have to get out of the chopper while it is refueling. Then you take off and head back to Las Vegas.

We flew over a couple of times and watched as the lights of Vegas started to come on. I loved it and will never forget this trip.
