dont some of the companies collect/deliver from the strip hotels by limo? - would cost more but maybe easier to book with them

Scrutineer is right... I'd forgotten about that. That was an option when I booked our flights but I declined as we stayed in Boulder City (plus we had our own transport). I'm not sure how much it is but it's worth asking. I'm sure some of the packages include a hotel pick up/drop off in the price.

" scrutineer is right"

thats a statement that confuses me .... never heard it said in this household!

I'm sure that maverik have a plce at Vegas airport - we saw the helipcopters parked there every time we drove psy - it would certainly be easier than going to bolder!sounds like a bit more looking round on the internet could make the trip a lot easier

When my parents visited us a couple of months ago we used Papillon. However, we only did the Grand Canyon tour, it did not include Vegas. Also, it was by plane and not helicopter. They were find to fly with and I'd use them again. I know they offer Vegas flights too so it might be worth checking them out. They sometimes have Internet-only deals where you get money off or get upgraded to a plane (I think the plane flights tend to be more expensive for some reason), so try their website:

Grand Canyons

Hello,
a friend of mine wants to take her mum to the Grand Canyons and a little stop over to Las Vegas for the 50th birthday for about 10 days in october.
Can anyone advice or reccomend of a good travel agent that does this sort of packages?
Any other general advice will be welcome

Thanks

If you book a trip to Las Vegas, and any of the big operators like BA or United Vacations can organise this for you, its easy to book a day trip to the Grand Canyon by plane or helicopter. There are hotels at the South Rim of the Canyon where you can spend a few days, but unless she enjoys hiking, a day trip will probably be enough.

Just come back from Vegas. We did the Grand Canyon trip with Papillon Helicoptors (Celebration Tour). Very professional and friendly. Picked us up at our airport bang on time, short drive in a nice mini van to Mcarran airport. Checked in and had to watch a 10 minute safety video. Then split into groups of 6 and taken by minivan to the helicoptors. Very friendly pilot, pointed out lots of interesting things on the way. My wife isn't the best of flyers but she had no problems at all. It took 45 mins to get to the canyon and we landed in the base. We stopped for 20 minutes and were given champagne or you could choose soft drinks. We did the 3:00pm trip, 45 minute trip back while the sun was setting and we got to the strip just as the lights had come on, very spectacular.

Here is a photo I took :

Hi,

We are in Las Vegas just after Skywalk opens, has anyone managed to book tickets for this yet?

At present is anyone aware of any companies offering this as a trip?

I have contacted destination grand canyon direct, but we did not really want to hire a car and drive.

We saw this on the news last night and my hubby shouted "We'll have to do that when we go to Vegas!!"
Erm....I'm just not sure, I think I'm a bit scared of looking through the glass floor :shock:

Looking forward to hearing from someone who has done it.

Apparently it costs $25 to go on it on top of the $50 to enter the park if you go by road. I ain't paying anything to have the :swear

Hi all,

Has anyone hired a car and driven to the Grand Canyon, we are in Las Vegas shortly and would like to visit the Skywalk. How long does it take to drive there, and is it safe? Any help would be appreciated.
