From reservation on line, to kind staff that welcomed us, a great pilot, smooth ride with telling us what we were by & history, to completing. The bus drivers were even great. Will check out Viator every time we travel going forward.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Laurie! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your helicopter flight over the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas Strip, and that our team made your experience memorable. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back on your next adventure!
Dam is really huge. It is indeed an architecture supreme. Worthy to see directly and from above. Admission is free. Your car ma be searched becouse of safety reasons. At high season and weekends there may be a problem with a parking.
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you found the Hoover Dam impressive and worthy of a visit. It's indeed a remarkable piece of architecture, and we're glad you had the chance to experience it from above.
My son and I had an amazing experience! The views were incredible, and our pilot was informative, fun, and made the flight enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Seeing the Strip and Hoover Dam from the air is such a fun way to spend time together. We’re thrilled your Las Vegas helicopter flight was a hit for both you and your son, and that your pilot made the whole experience so enjoyable.
The FBO is very close to Mandalay Bay. Quick $12 cab ride. The check-in area has lots of seating on nice comfortable couches. Since our group was all there early, we started the trip early. Our Pilot & tour guide was Tucker. He was great! They don’t expect a tip but bring cash to tip. I didn’t think about that and wish I would’ve brought cash. The helicopter fleet was clean, powerful and set up well for everyone regardless of where you get seated. Dress lightly! A properly operating AC system only lowers temps about 20°. When it’s 109° outside, that’s only 90° air coming out of the vents. So it’ll be warm. The length of the ride was not short and didn’t seem rushed. I feel like it was a really good value and would definitely do it again!
Patrick, we’re glad Tucker and the team made everything feel easy from check-in through the flight! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the comfortable aircraft, unrushed tour, and felt the experience was such a good value.
We booked the ¨Hoover Dam & Las Vegas Strip helicopter tour" with high expectations, but unfortunately our experience was extremely disappointing. We understand that Las Vegas is very hot during the summer, but the temperature inside the helicopter was unbearable. We were almost fainting from the heat. Sweat was literally running down our faces, and our shirts and trousers were completely soaked by the end of the flight. This was not normal. We have flown with other helicopter companies in Las Vegas on previous trips and have never experienced anything like this. The scenery was beautiful, but it was impossible to enjoy the flight because of the extreme heat. A sightseeing tour should not leave passengers feeling physically very unwell. From the heart; dont book this.

Fantastic experience. The pilot was amazing and we truly enjoyed the ride! It was great seeing the strip and flying over the Hoover Dam
What a great way to see the Las Vegas Strip and Hoover Dam from above! We’re thrilled your pilot made the flight so enjoyable and that you loved the views along the way.
Our trip was cancelled 1 hour prior to our arrival time due to “ lack of people booked for flight” Very disappointing!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Tamara. We are truly sorry for the disappointment caused by the cancellation of your flight. If you have not already done so, we invite you to contact our Guest Relations team at guestrelations@papillon.com so we can review your experience.
This was a great little ride if you just want to enjoy the experience and see a quick loop! Pilot was awesome!
Meant to be a father/son trip. We put in our proper weights at the time of booking. When we got there we were told we were going to be out in separate helicopters because the other family entered their weight in kgs. Very disappointed for my son and I. Charged us more for a comfort seat and even tho they separated us wouldn’t do anything to accommodate us to meet us half way on a charge of 250$ for a comfort seat. Overall made the experience not very memorable for either of us. Not very impressed with these operators! Wouldn’t recommend!!
Outstanding experience. Papillon is great to deal with and our pilot Jimmy was the BEST! He made the flight so much fun with his insight of the local and his humor.
