We were thrilled to have experienced this wonderful event. Maverick tours were professional from start to finish. We were picked up in a nice clean mini coach and driven to the airport where we were weighed and also given a safety demonstration by our fantastic pilot, Hank. This made me feel calm as I am a nervous flyer at the best of times, but I really felt we were in good hands. The helicopter was a top class piece of technology, not like I've seen at a lot of other places. The views were spectacular and Hank explained a lot of the interesting points along the way. After flying over Lake Mead and Hoover Dam we landed in the Grand Canyon and had champers and water and a snack, then back on board for our return flight over the Vegas Strip and we landed safely back at the airport. The views were just amazing and I would highly recommend this experience- even if you have a fear of flying, go on, DO IT!!
