    Introduction

    From the glitz of The Strip to the natural wonder of the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas is a city of contrasts with excitement at every turn. World-renowned for its vibrant nightlife, dazzling shows, and iconic landmarks, it’s a place where you can sip champagne atop the Eiffel Tower, glide along Venetian canals, or simply soak up the electric atmosphere. By day, explore unique shops and buzzing restaurants; by night, explore the legendary casinos and entertainment that never sleeps.

    Our three-night extension to Las Vegas includes a scenic helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon, offering sweeping views of its vast red rock landscapes, winding river gorges, and dramatic cliffs – a truly unforgettable perspective on one of the world’s seven natural wonders.

On arrival, we head straight to the iconic Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, our base for the next three nights.

For a different perspective, take an optional evening helicopter flight. This whirlwind tour offers a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the Strip, soaring over landmarks like the Mirage, Bellagio, and the glittering lights of Fremont Street Experience.

    Day 3: Grand Canyon

    Today’s helicopter tour begins with captivating aerial views over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and the winding Colorado River as we make our way toward Grand Canyon West. After landing at the canyon’s edge, we board an air-conditioned shuttle to explore several remarkable viewpoints along the rim. Highlights include Eagle Point, and the Hualapai Point Native American Centre, the panoramic beauty of Guano Point, and the chance to step out onto the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk – a horseshoe-shaped platform suspended high above the canyon floor. There’s time to take in the scenery, capture some unforgettable photos, and fully appreciate the vast, rugged beauty of this natural wonder before our return flight to the Las Vegas area.
