Helicopter Tours
One of the most exciting and breathtaking ways to see any city is from above on a helicopter tour. A tour of Las Vegas is an extraordinary way to take in the entire city from a bird's eye view. You can tour the entire strip in just a few minutes and you will see all there is to see from the best vantage point imaginable. Tours go to the canyons surrounding the city as well. You might also be able to see Desert Pines or one of the many other golf courses surrounding the city from the air.

Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon
A site not to miss during your stay in Las Vegas is the Grand Canyon or Hoover Dam at Lake Mead. Both are spectacular wonders, one natural, the other man made. Marvel at the majesty of the Grand Canyon or the modern technology that brings power to millions of people in the desert. You will find bus tours to the Grand Canyon south and west rim. The west rim usually includes the sky walk where you can look down on the canyon from above. Some include nighttime ventures to hot gambling spots and attractions like the Bellagio Fountains, fine dining, nightlife and more.
