From the boisterous crowds of scintillating Las Vegas to the utter serenity of the bottom of the Grand Canyon in just 45 minutes…Culture shock doesn’t get any more shocking than this!
Although the Grand Canyon looks close to Vegas on the map, it’s a grueling 12 hours return drive – not including time on the Rim. Maverick Helicopters has the solution: we experienced their “Wind Dancer” tour which whirls you across the Mojave Desert, over Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam and gently deposits you close to the floor of the Grand Canyon for a few precious, breath-taking minutes of open-mouthed wonder.
Joel was our expert pilot and guide in Maverick’s uber-cool ECO-star helicopter - air-conditioned, quiet, comfortable and with great wraparound glass windows. He popped the champagne in celebration as we tried to take in the full majesty of this natural wonder of the world. There was no sign of another human being to be seen anywhere as the potent Colorado River – its colour living up to its name – roiled its restless, ruddy waters below us.
If you’re in Vegas – just do it. And do it with Maverick, as they’re the only VIP helicopter company in Vegas, and you want to do something as special as this with the very best in town: www.maverickhelicopters.com
