The Grand Canyon is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the United States, and it’s only a short helicopter ride from Las Vegas! You can visit the Grand Canyon West and even land on the very bottom during race weekend in just a few hours’ time between race activities. This tour also includes a flight over the Las Vegas Strip, including the street circuit and grandstands. Your flight departs from an air terminal located just off the Strip, where a luxury helicopter will be waiting to transport you across the Mojave Desert to the Grand Canyon West.
Along the way, you’ll see aerial views of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River. Once you reach the Grand Canyon, your helicopter will descend between the ancient stone walls and land all the way on the very bottom, near the bank of the Colorado River. Your party will have time to wander the canyon floor, take photos, and enjoy some light snacks. Your pilot will even prepare a champagne toast! Your return flight to Las Vegas takes place at sunset, one of the most beautiful opportunities to witness the Grand Canyon and the desert scenery. Before landing back at the air terminal, your pilot will fly directly over the Las Vegas Strip and the race’s street circuit, as well as the paddocks and grandstands filled with fans!
