Yes!! Come to Vegas and do the helicopter ride with maverick. I've flown out of both locations and…read morethey both do tremendous things! I cannot wait to book my spot for EDC arrival via helicopter, saves so much time!

Pilot Tyler was great! But unfortunately ride was with other people (which is was never mentioned…read morewhile booking). I quote "The setting wasn't base on weight" ride with two minors (+ they were taking/arguing the whole tour, a bit of annoying) and one tall guy at front. So they go at the front, unable to see anything during the whole ride. 10-12 min looking at someone's head just because... as per my last ride in helicopter, setting SHOULD BE assigned by weight not by age. Before you get assigned, ask to ppl at desk who you are riding with, otherwise you might end up looking at someone else's head instead of Las Vegas.

The most incredible thing about this experience to know is that it isn't a passive joy ride, but an…read moreactive experience where you take over control of the plane and fly the plane for 60-90 seconds, for three rounds, as you engage in an actual dog flight with another plane and participant! Get the dog fighting package. You do that three times, and actually get to fly the plane yourself for 3-5 minutes. It's wild. These planes are capable of 10G, F16s can only do 9G. They were built to simulate experience for fighter pilots. Flying the plane is the best. You will never get a chance to do this anywhere else, since it doesn't exist. The "bombing run" through Red Rock canyon is unreal too. Doesn't seem like these planes should be able to do the things they can do on any axis on the sky. Total paradigm shift in the mind when you are accustomed to driving a car on a flat surface. Tip: I was worried about the motion sickness, but took a couple of Meclizine pills an hour before which I recommend, especially if you are going for the hard core experience. Pilots can sense your limits though and keep things at the intensity level you request.

Set my wife up for an aerobatics ride along so this review is based on her experience. Overall,…read moreshe had a great time with her ride along and add on additional aerobatics experience. Staff and facilities were great, and they are located at the North Las Vegas Airport. Overall, it was a very thrilling and fun experience for her. Her only negative comment was that her flight was scheduled for 11am and she showed up at 1030am as required, however, she waited over 2 hours and 15 minutes before she finally got up in the air and was really not provided any reason while she was waiting for the delay (she was thinking they may have been short either a plane or pilot). Overall, she recommends the experience and had a great time.

This review is for Papillon's short but sweet 10-15 minute ride over the Las Vegas Strip and…read moreDowntown Las Vegas/Fremont Street. The Papillon terminal looked rather new or newly redone. There is a roomy indoor waiting area with a variety of seating, including stools with power outlets. The restroom was pretty large and clean, better than the one at the JSX (the semi-private airline) terminal. There is also seating in an outdoor patio with views of the helicopter launch area. Since I booked the earliest of these short tours, the terminal was quiet and check-in was seamless and kind. Every passenger is weighed at check-in to balance the weight on the helicopter. You have the option of requesting a front row seat ($30); you are charged if and when you are upgraded. I unfortunately did not make the cut, but I ended up being very satisfied with my rear window seat behind the pilot. Our copter had 2 seats in front, 4 in the rear. Some of the other copters have 3 front/4 rear seats: I think these are the ones that go to the Grand Canyon. We watched a safety video in the terminal, then boarded a shuttle for the brief ride to the helicopter. A photographer and the pilot accompanied us. Your photo is taken outside the copter before boarding. The seats have noise-cancelling headphones you can wear; they have music playing. The ride was smooth and quick. You basically go north on the east side of the Strip, make a U-turn just north of Downtown, then head south on the west side of the Strip. You can see every hotel on the Strip and Downtown, plus The Sphere, the High Roller Ferris wheel, T-Mobile Arena and Allegiant Stadium. Back at the terminal, your photo and a flight certificate are available for purchase. I did give the pilot a gratuity, others on my flight (all were non-American) did not. The company offers a myriad of tours--Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and more. Some of the Strip tours have added perks like a meal or foodie tour; the basic tour I took can include transportation to and from your hotel if you choose. Recommended.

Unfortunately, our experience aligns with several others. Often times, only people frustrated with…read moresomething will bother to write a negative review, but those with a positive (or expected) experience will not write a review. So it always tends to be skewed and you have to take reviews with a grain of salt, so I was hopeful that would be the case for us and we wouldn't experience the problems that others have. Just as several others have mentioned here, our flight was cancelled the day of, after we arrived. We booked SEVEN months in advance, paid in full ~ $1200 for family of four. We arrive 30 minutes prior as instructed. They tell us, sorry, we have mechanical issues, so you are cancelled. They say, we tried to call you (we received no call because, guess what, cell service is not the best around the south rim of the grand canyon...). We said, we have seen at least 4 helicopters flying, how about canceling someone else, how do you select? Did everybody else here book 7+ months ago? Who is prioritized? The reality is they overbooked, and because we paid 7 months previous, we paid less (I looked, their prices went up since we had booked). So I guess we were the easy choice to cancel... They offered to rebook the next day, yet they know that nearly nobody can accomodate this, so it is a hollow offer where they know they can "do their part to try to rectify", but also know that nearly everybody would then just cancel, and the problem takes care of itself. Great business model... Everybody that is going to book a helicopter trip over the grand canyon is there on vacation, and nobody is staying anywhere near grand canyon village or the location of this airport. It is an hour drive just from Williams and the main road, one way. Anyone who books this is driving in from Sedona or Vegas or Phoenix for a half/one day trip, and vacation days/time is precious. Its not as though you can just go do something else nearby and wait until the next day... We had one window of time planned, and the time of this flight was it. I suppose that is why they do not really care about customer service, or screwing someone last minute. Its not like they are planning for repeat customers really... Kids were beyond disappointed. The build-up and excitement, only to be completely let down last minute. They cried as we were walking out and leaving because the talk of the helicopter ride was happening for months prior. And now to the refund. The girl at the counter said the refund would take 7-10 days. Ok, thats typical, whatever. 12 days goes by, no refund. E-mail and call. They respond and say that, because its been more then 6 months, we cannot refund back to your card. We can either ACH (and attached a form) or send a check. I respond to tell then to send a check. Who in their right mind is going to provide their bank account number and routing number into a microsoft word file and e-mail it back? Fast forward ~ 21 days. Still no check. So send another e-mail (haven't called yet because that is a whole other experience...). I receive and e-mail back, not a response to my e-mail, but a carbon copy of the first one sent 9 days prior saying I can use ACH or check. Um, huh? So here we are now, still no refund. Fortunately, since we were heading to Vegas that day (was supposed to be right after our helicopter flight), we booked with Maverick for a helicopter flight over Las Vegas the next day. $450 for family of four, and the experience was excellent all around. I'd recommend Maverick, and avoid this company.

Our Valley of Fire tour with Pink Jeep exceeded every expectation, and our guide, John Ferdinand,…read morewas exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we set off, it was clear that this was far more than a standard sightseeing tour--it was a thoughtfully curated experience that truly fulfilled our minds as much as it delighted our senses. John shared in-depth knowledge about the Valley of Fire's ancient rock formations, many dating back tens of thousands of years, explaining how tectonic movement, erosion, and time shaped the dramatic landscape and its vivid red, orange, and white hues. He also provided meaningful insight into the Native peoples of the region, including how petroglyphs etched into the rocks were used as a form of communication, storytelling, and cultural preservation. In addition to his expertise on the land itself, John was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Las Vegas, seamlessly connecting the Valley of Fire to the city's past--from its early days and regional development to how this ancient landscape influenced the growth of the modern Las Vegas we know today. This broader historical perspective added incredible depth and made the experience feel both educational and enriching. The tour was luxury-leaning and impeccably organized, with a comfortable vehicle, a relaxed pace, and ample time for photos and thoughtful discussion. John's passion, attentiveness, and ability to answer questions in detail made the experience feel personal rather than scripted. If you are looking for a tour that combines breathtaking scenery, cultural significance, and intellectual enrichment, Pink Jeep delivers on every level. John Ferdinand is a truly outstanding guide, and this tour is a must for anyone visiting Las Vegas who wants an experience that is both memorable and mentally fulfilling. Thank YOU John && THANK YOU Pink Jeep for one of the best experiences us locals have had!! Can't wait to book the Grand Canyon, Zion, and the Hoover Dam tours!!!!

I just went on the Red Rock Rocky Gap off - road tour and it was so much fun!! They take you to the…read morered rock visitor center and then through the scenic route. There is a part that they say less than 1% of people who visit red rock go through, and that is the rocket off road part. Your tour guide asks if you want to go fast or slow and we chose fast lol! It was scary and fun at the same time, your car almost goes completely sideways! We felt completely safe though. The tour guide teaches you a lot of history and fun facts while you are out there and you even see part of the old Spanish trails. I've been on a lot of pink jeep tours but this was one of my favorites!

They have various accommodation options such as wagons, teepees, stargazer domes, and tent sites. We stayed in the wagon that included AC and a bathroom/shower. The bed was comfy, the shower had just the right temp and water pressure, and the AC kept us cool during the hot summer day. We had breakfast and dinner at the on-site restaurant. No joke, but the burgers were one of the best I've ever had. It tasted like it was fresh off the grill from your backyard cookout. The staff at the resort were fantastic. Everyone was very friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. A special shout out to Teddy who got us acquainted with the site and helped set up our fire. (Go Bruins!) We've already recommended this place to our family and neighbors and if we are to ever visit Grand Canyon West in the future, we'll definitely return to the glamping resort.
