Helicopter 
The flight path, end to end.
Experience luxury dining at its finest when you join this guided Las Vegas foodie tour. You'll receive 3-4 dishes plus decadent desserts at three mystery restaurants within the Cosmopolitan and the Aria casinos. After, you'll fly over the Strip casinos on a nighttime helicopter tour!
Experience an evening of pure luxury in Las Vegas when you join this VIP dining experience combined with a once-in-a-lifetime helicopter tour over the Strip casinos' neon lights and signs illuminated against the night sky. The night begins when you meet your savvy Lip Smacking Foodie tour guide at the 250-foot-long Focus water wall, identifiable by their Lip Smacking Foodie shirt. Your guide will lead the way to the first of three upscale restaurants located within the ARIA and the Cosmopolitan resorts. Between restaurants, your guide will point out interesting displays and features throughout the casinos, including the Chandelier Bar in the Cosmopolitan.
All three dining locations are intentionally kept secret as an added layer of surprise to the evening. Savor culinary artistry with 3-4 dishes provided at each restaurant as well as decadent desserts to finish. Guests will receive VIP service at each establishment, including immediate seating, and accommodation of dietary and allergy restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.).
After your luxury dining experience, you'll receive transportation to the air terminal located just off the Strip, where a state-of-the-art helicopter awaits you. You'll lift off into the sky and see the neon lights and signs adorning the casinos come into view. Fly over iconic Vegas landmarks including the Luxor light beam, Allegiant Stadium, T-Mobile Arena, the Eiffel Tower, the Bellagio fountains, the High Roller Observation Wheel, the MSG Sphere, and historic Downtown Las Vegas.
There's no better way to feel like a celebrity during your Las Vegas vacation!

Which seat do I get?

What this rules out
Some canyon tours are sold without naming the aircraft, and guests find out at the terminal that they are flying a smaller machine with rear-facing seats. On this tour there is one aircraft type and no substitution — if we cannot fly you on an EC130, we do not fly you, and you are rebooked or refunded.
