The Strip is not the one factor in Vegas that gives pleasure and a good time. Helicopter flights match proper into that description. Grand Canyon helicopters fly from Vegas to the West Rim each day of the yr, together with holidays. South Rim flights can be found from Grand Canyon Nationwide Park Airport (GCA) at Tusayan, AZ.
These excursions are priced very fairly and so they’re value each penny. That being stated, coupons and different reductions make them much more inexpensive.
Loads of of us journey to Arizona or Las Vegas simply to see the Grand Canyon. For those who’ll be setting out from someplace in AZ, you may do the South Rim.
