Las Vegas Helicopter Tour to the Grand Canyon with Maverick Helicopters

[@JoshRachael]

Have you ever taken a helicopter ride in Las Vegas? What did you think?

[@JoshRachael]

@Christopher Talavera That is awesome - We will have to do the skywalk if we go again for sure

[@DoozCoop]

We did that in 2010 with Maverick at dusk, for our 30th anniversary - it was great!

[@olbervite156]

Hi there! How much it cost the tour

[@glavegas0010]

Somehow we missed this vlog of your helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon. Absolutely beautiful. We heard you talking about it last night on your Q&A vlog. Looked it up. As locals, we need to do this.

[@JoshRachael]

haha don't worry I am sure a lot of people missed back in the dark ages when we were still trying to find our way. We were still learning a lot but we are so glad we decided to start doing "experiences" back then so we can do so much more now

[@sashamoore9691]

Thanks for showing an in-depth review of the place, how it looks on inside and out, the helicopter it’s self , the experience. It’s ones of a kind! Most beautiful scenery I’ve ever witnessed

[@JoshRachael]

It truly was amazing to see!

[@otterlips8414]

This is a beautiful video. The background music makes it even more exciting. I couldn't have enjoyed it more if I had been there. Thanks so much for it.

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you very much!

[@Runningafter40]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this! These experiences are memories I will always cherish!

[@JoshRachael]

😊

[@Maverickhelicopters]

Thanks for flying with us! 🚁

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you it was an amazing experience and totally a bucket list worthy adventure!

[@vickiesharp4357]

Wow, this was Amazing! This is definitely going on my bucket list

[@JoshRachael]

You should! No regrets from us! Thanks for watching

[@gcorkgal53]

Cashed in myVegas points for the second time to do this amazing trip! Have done the night flight over the strip many times! Last week it was 112 when I went to The Grand Canyon! Yikes! Cheers! Gloria in far far West Texas

[@JoshRachael]

Wow that’s awesome

[@YouUsAndAI]

I am looking for links to the two new channels and saw this one...Sooo good...and love the editing, course...Amazing!!!

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you! Yes I need to put the links up. Hopefully later today I will get the links posted in the about area of this channel and look to add the links to new videos as well

[@YouUsAndAI]

@@JoshRachael Oh okay, great! Thank you again!!

[@LasVegasandBeyond]

Fun adventure and the Grand Canyon is pretty cool.

[@JoshRachael]

That it was, have you ever done it?

[@LasVegasandBeyond]

@@JoshRachael I have not and keep debating the cost/benefit

[@JoshRachael]

Not something I can see spending the money on again but had never been to the Grand Canyon or in a Helicopter so knocking off two bucket list items in one shot made it worth it to me

[@baaghisingh198]

Hey Josh & Rachael, Gr8 video thnx. I'm still confused about whether I take a Heli tour or the Bus tour. I really do wana see Pat Tillman memorial bridge & I wana walk around the Hoover Dam, sky walk ...wutcha think I should do?

[@JoshRachael]

I would say if you want to walk at the bridge and do the Hoover Dam this will not satisfy you. it really is just a fly by of the Dam and does not go to the bridge. The bus will take longer but fill your needs better. thanks so much for watching

[@baaghisingh198]

@@JoshRachael Thanx J & R, God Bless Ya.

[@svenskhet8688]

This is an awesome video! Im born and raised in Las Vegas and have seen everything you can in the southwest, but for some reason I have never taken one of the Maverick heli tours of the strip or Grand Canyon.. this makes me want to do it now!! thanks for sharing a great time!

[@JoshRachael]

Awesome, so glad we could help!

[@GamblinGranny]

Hey guys. Saw your channel on We Work to visit Vegas FB. Had to watch as we want to do this trip to GC as well on Maverick. We go to Vegas several times a year and have been wanting to do this. Thanks for all this info. Great video. Have connected. 🙌🙌

[@JoshRachael]

Awesome thank you! Just subbed to your channel. We loved it and were so happy we did it!

[@GamblinGranny]

@@JoshRachael We were supposed to do this trip back in 2017 when we were there in Oct. unfortunately due to the Rt 91 happening we canceled. So we must do this. Absolutely beautiful footage. 🙌🙌🙌👍

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you 🙏

[@patriciahenderson4480]

Tomorrow we are taking a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon , we are so exiting. Thanks for the video.

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks for watching! Have fun! If you are looking for more Las Vegas reviews please check out the rest of our channel :)

[@loveyourself6784]

Sorry.. how much it cost ?

[@lezaathey8433]

Great video, coming to vegas next Feb and this is a must do. Did you book whilst you were there or would you suggest booking in advance?

[@JoshRachael]

We suggest booking anything you really want to do ahead of time and this for sure would be one we would book prior to arrival in Vegas. Have a great time!

[@StraightOuttaVegas]

Wow, you got some really nice shots from the helicopter 👍 Rachel said champagne before that guy was finished with his sentence 😂😂😂 Cool vid guys!!!

[@JoshRachael]

She’s a classy lady 😂 😆 thanks for checking it out! Enjoy your videos!

[@StraightOuttaVegas]

@@JoshRachael Awww, thanks for watching! 🙏🙏🙏

[@NikGosselin]

I’m really considering about doing this, is it worth it??

[@JoshRachael]

So worth it!! Would do it again in a heartbeat!

The “not us” made me laugh out of nowhere 😂

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks for watching! Still one of our favorite experiences in Las Vegas!

[@reficul6665]

We are going to do it in one week! Yayyyy….. how it feels? Do you recommend eating before?lol

[@JoshRachael]

We did not eat before hand mostly since we got picked up so early. We did not feel sick to our stomachs at all so don’t think it’s a must but if you think you might get queasy it would be a good idea to grab a roll or something. We definitely were hungry when it was over though of course 😋

[@joelbulnes9589]

Hi Josh and Rachael, I have a concern, how is the procedure for assigning seats? Can you ask for a window or the front seats in one of the two ways? On the way or back? Thank You

[@JoshRachael]

I’m sure you can ask - they let us rotate seats if we wanted, but we kept our original seats on purpose for ease of filming!

[@michaelcarneal6101]

Depends on weight. Just did this yesterday. So cool.

[@samanthadiaz2503]

How long was the tour?

[@JoshRachael]

I want to say it was all total 4-5 hours from pickup to drop off.

[@sophavongxaya9851]

How much does it cost please? I am going this Christmas 2021

[@JoshRachael]

We don’t remember exactly but around $400-$425 per person after taxes. We both did $100 off from MyVEGAS Rewards app. Thanks for watching!

[@hendriprabowo5513]

That's amazing! I am going to Universal Studios LA soon!

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you! It was a great adventure!

[@adrianvilchis8113]

hello i noticed the tours online are about 10 hours long, i was wondering what is the link to the tickets you guys go since the flight was a decent gap time. thank you

[@JoshRachael]

www.maverickhelicopter.com/wind-dancer-tour The timing was great for us since we tend to get up early and want to be out and about

Oh have so much fun! We absolutely did!

[@alvarogaitan2529]

thanks fantastic video good luck forever God Bless.

Great video guys, would love to be able to do this some day!

[@JoshRachael]

Definitely worth doing. Not cheap but worth it! Thanks for watching

[@germanchavez81]

How much was the trip per person? Which company did you use? Thank you in advance.

[@JoshRachael]

Maverick About $400 each with MyVEGAS coupons. Thanks for watching

[@kingejg95]

Planning to do this year, what tour package did you get ?

[@JoshRachael]

we did the wind dancer in the morning

[@sashamoore9691]

How many other people were on the helicopter? For such an expensive price tag, I wouldn’t want to be clustered up with 6 other people per helicopter

[@JoshRachael]

It would be nice if there were less but it was 8 total people in the helicopter - it is fairly tight.

[@etoyadoss2715]

Ok what’s the price.?How long is the tour.?

[@JoshRachael]

We show the times on it. Price was around $525 before coupon from MyVEGAS for $125 each off

[@sapphirelittle1078]

Did you think it was worth the extra money to land on the Grand Canyon? I'm debating on whether to go the cheaper route and book the helicopter without the stop. Thanks!

[@JoshRachael]

We had never been to the Grand Canyon and Josh had never been to Arizona so for me it was worth it since it checked a few items off bucket lists. Also we used $125 off coupons from MyVEGAS app to help with the cost. Oh and neither had been in a helicopter so to check off all those things it was worth it but totally understand if the price scares ya

[@sapphirelittle1078]

@@JoshRachael thanks for the response 😁. We've never flown on a helicopter or seen the Grand Canyon either. Hopefully I can find a coupon as well.

[@lezaathey8433]

@@JoshRachael sorry to jump on someone’s comment here but I have the my vegas app and would like to redeem a voucher towards the cost, can you use 1 per person if both have the app and how do you go about it? Any tips greatly appreciated.x

[@JoshRachael]

@@lezaathey8433 I wish I remembered but this was now about 18months back so I am unsure. I would think you could, but would call the company to ensure it would work. Thanks, Leza

[@lezaathey8433]

@@JoshRachael thanks. Great vid by the way.xx

[@supriyasou3722]

Thanks for detailed video. To be very honest, the surroundings after you landed were a little underwhelming to me. Viewpoints in south rim provided more diverse scenery. I am now having second thoughts of spending $500 😅😅

[@JoshRachael]

It definitely is not the most perfect setting after landing but you are paying for ease and time. One thing that was great about the setting after landing was how quiet and peaceful it was. We don’t regret it at all - hope you enjoy it!

[@jonwar6949]

Great video ,thanks for sharing. Btw what camera did you guys use? Thanks

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much. We actually record on our IPhone 11 Pro Max’s

We were in the backseat there and back and still enjoyed the view. The iPhone is pretty impressive honestly as long as you use the real camera. We have talked about a GoPro but decided to order a Canon Mark ii to upgrade our video, hopefully we can figure it out 😆

Planning to Visit US this autumn with my family. This video is really informative. Just wanted to know the name of any hotel which has a tie up with the helicopter operators.

This company has deals and pickups for any MLife resort and maybe others. We were at Mandalay Bay but others on the bus with us were staying at Aria and Bellagio

[@thebongclass8095]

@@JoshRachael Thx a ton

[@antonthomas3209]

What deals do they have ?

@@antonthomas3209 We were able to do 2-$125 off coupons we used from the MyVegas app

[@djstrains]

I do have a fear of flying that I am trying to work through. Advice?

[@JoshRachael]

No fear of flying so hard for me to compare but honestly it felt 100% safe and stable the whole time. There is an inside seat if you are fearful of being by the window but if you don’t want to look out I would probably recommend driving

[@kittymande]

what were the cost options ,etc

[@JoshRachael]

$469 or $549 per person depending on AM vs sunset. We were able to use two $125 coupons from MyVEGAS to help with the costs
