5.00This was amazing. We are only coming to Vegas once so thought we would splash out on this trip and it was the best thing ever. Start to finish it was well organised. The driver Steven was friendly and on time and the pilot Sam was great and very informative and the 90 minutes flew by 😁! Very unique experience and would recommend
Fun ride for the whole family.

5.00This is a 45 minute ride to the Grand Canyon, 30 minutes inside the Canyon and 45 minutes back to Las Vegas with a flight over the strip. The group size is 6 per helicopter, so our group of 8 was split 6 and 2 between 2 helicopters, based on weight distribution. It was a great flight and we got to see many sights on the way to the canyon and back.
Some of you visitors should be ashamed of yourselves !

5.00Let me start by saying, 5 Star Helicopters is top notch ! It is worth every dollar I paid. I was on the black Mercedes van with 11 other people, and not a single one of you had the decency or common courtesy, to tip your shuttle driver. He stopped at 5 Casino Hotels from the Las Vegas Strip, to our Downtown destination... told you the history of the town and suggested places that had the best food and how to save some money and still have a wonderful time . . .constantly getting out each stop to open your door and assuring you stayed safe as you exited. He even took a few of you to a hotel that you weren't even staying in, just because you asked. It wouldn't have killed you to say, "Thank You" and hand him a few dollars. If you can't afford a tip, don't go to Las Vegas.
