“Ugh, these casinos are a bore, we can only play at the
tables or lay by a pool for so many hours. What can we do INSTEAD?!” If you’ve
been to Vegas more than once OR if you’ve booked a trip that’s more than two
days long, I KNOW THIS THOUGHT HAS SURFACED IN YOUR MIND! Don’t feel bad, the
casinos won’t be mad at you ;) In fact, they’d like you to step away from the
hustle and bustle, free your mind, and return to hand over some more of your
hard earned money! No worries, Vegas is more than a 24 hour party (for some)! A
few Las Vegas tours is just what you need to see ALL of Vegas. Whether you’re
wanting to go play in the dunes, or if you’re more of the Las Vegas canyon tours type, we’ve got you covered this summer.
Helicopter Tours
Some of our favorite Las Vegas summer tours involve a really
large “bird”.
“Squaaaaaaaaaawk, squaaaaaaaak!” No, no, not a living, feathered bird… these birds are state-of-the-art Eco-Star HELICOPTERS! Ohhhhh what fun! There are so many Las Vegas day tours to experience via a helicopter, we’ve picked three that we think you will LOVE!

Neon Nights Air Tour
The
Neon Nights Air Tour starts with a limousine and
champagne toast, followed by 12-15 minutes encapsulated in a gravity defying
Eco-Star helicopter! A friendly pilot will take you for a tour over the Las
Vegas Strip, Glitter Gulch, and Fremont Street. If you thought walking the
Strip and looking up at the majestic buildings and massive, flashing, neon
signs was a thrill, you haven’t experienced ANYTHING until you look DOWN on
this same energy-filled, glammed up, GLORIOUS Strip. This Las Vegas tour is
easy on the pocketbook as well, at only $89 per person.
West Rim Express
Busy sleeping at night and looking for a Las Vegas day tour
in one of the “birds”? The West Rim Express tour is an affordable way to see
the Grand Canyon’s West Rim and the Colorado River during the day. Departing
from the West Rim, this tour soars high above the Grand Canyon before
descending below the canyon walls, where it will land, allowing you to get out
for 20 minutes, take in the immense canyon, shoot some photos, or just stretch
your legs… and yes, you MUST get back in the helicopter to get back to up to
the top of the rim… it’s much too steep to climb and the terrain is a “little”
rough ;)
Sunset Dream
Wanting to go all out and impress your “honey”? The Sunset Dream Tour tour is a lengthy flight that is geared towards romantics. The beauty of
the red rock formations as the sun dances and plays, showing off its colorful
variations and shadows, be stills a beating heart. Valley of Fire, Grand
Canyon, Lake Mead, Fortification Hill, Hoover Dam, Fremont Street, and the Las
Vegas Strip are all covered on this flight! Snuggle up with your loved one,
share a moment in the beauty of the Grand Canyon, and thoroughly enjoy each
other while flying atop one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
ATV/Buggy Tour
Does the thought of flying make you want to crawl in a hole
and cuddle yourself like a scared child? Las Vegas day tours can also mean some
fun riding ATVs around the Valley of Fire! The Valley of Fire Buggy Tour will
take you through well-known, and often publicized, dunes for some off-roading
fun! Your safety is not overlooked on this wild and crazy day tour! You will
want to dress in something other than your Sunday best as this Las Vegas day
tour will get you dusty and dirty (isn’t dirty fun always the best kind?)!
Horseback Ride & Lunch
“Here horsey horsey.
Here boy. C’mon now, let’s partner up and take this trail on like we are part
of the Wild West!” Now, you won’t really have to wrangle your own horse to do
this Las Vegas day tour but you WILL have to enjoy the one hour tour of Red
Rock Canyon (which, I promise, won’t be a problem)! The Ol’ Spanish Trail Horseback Ride and Lunch will take you down the Ol’ Spanish Trail that stretched
from Santa Fe to Pueblo de Los Angeles in the mid 1800’s. You’ll stop to enjoy
an authentic cowboy lunch… do we also need to say cowgirl to be politically
correct ;)… after returning from the trails and corralling up your gentle
horse.
