The helicopter experience is amazing. Unbelievable view of the strip.
There are some things with this Experience that are not clearly explained or even written that will surprise you.
This is not a personal helicopter tour. You will be with 4 other people (6 in total).
The dinner package really doesn't save you much money, you have to pay gratuity (15%) on the discounted amount, worked out to an extra $36 without drinks. You are better off finding a discount on the flight through Groupon or through your hotel and figuring out dinner yourself.
According to a local we chatted with, they are almost always running behind, especially towards the end of the day so we were picked up at 745pm from planet Hollywood's, got to the air field at 805pm and didn't fly until 930pm.
Its also worth mentioning that 3 of the seats on the helicopter really do not get a great experience. Because the helicopter always has the strip on its left side, 3 seats in the back really don't get the best view. These seats are assigned at random and you absolutely cannot change them (we tried).
Overall was it a great experience, yes! But was it worth the money (any additional money), I would have to say no.

Alfred,
Thank you for your feedback. Please know the tour states to block out 2 hours to ensure transportation, check in, fuel delays and any other unforeseen delays which can occur in aviation. We encourage all guests to read the tour details so they are aware of the tour the purchased. In addition, we contact you to confirm weights, pick up location and advise all guests that this is a non private flight in case they would like to upgrade to a private helicopter. The Las Vegas Strip helicopter flights are flown in a counter-clockwise route to comply with the Las Vegas ATC Control Tower, who regulate flight routes for air traffic safety. Our Airbus helicopters are configured with stadium seating allowing maximum forward facing panoramic views from all seats. Airbus helicopters have been specifically selected for sightseeing tours based on this seat configuration. If you want to be guaranteed seats 1, 2 or 3, then we recommend that you book a private Las Vegas Strip helicopter flight
For the safety of the pilot and passengers, seat assignments are based on actual passenger body weights. In the interests of safety and the performance of the helicopter, the front seats have a maximum combined weight capacity based on center of gravity.
