Itinerary
After pick-up from select hotels, you'll be taken to the heliport where you will board your state-of-the-art EC-130 helicopter for your 10-12 minute flight over the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. Heading north, you'll fly over the east side of the Strip to see the Stratosphere Tower.
As your journey continues north, take in sweeping views over Fremont Street—the vibrant heart of Downtown Las Vegas and home to the ‘original’ Las Vegas Strip. After soaking in the dazzling lights and historic charm of this iconic area, your helicopter will gracefully turn south, offering one last scenic pass before returning to the Downtown Las Vegas heliport.
Soar above the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, where you’ll witness the dazzling Bellagio Fountains in full choreographed splendor, illuminated against the night sky. As you circle overhead, enjoy unmatched views of this iconic water and light show, framed by the glittering lights of nearby resorts like Paris Las Vegas and Caesars Palace. After approximately twelve minutes in the air, touch down at the terminal, where you’ll either be whisked back to your hotel by limousine or continue your night on the Strip from the heliport—depending on the option selected when booking.
Once you are back on the ground, you'll board a shuttle which will take you to the Neon Museum. This is truly a memorable experience. You'll have a guided tour through the Main Boneyard where the original signs of Fremont Street and the Las Vegas Strip have found their home; some will even be glowing in all their neon brilliance! To cap off the evening, you'll see the Brilliant! Jackpot show in the North Boneyard. This light mapping show set to Vegas-style music is an absolute treat and nod to Vegas' iconic history! At the end of the show, you will make your own way back to your hotel.

It was incredible! And our pilot was very kind and engaging. Just a perfect way to see the city lights
Weather caused flight to be delayed, Papillon kindly rearranged for later that week. Flight over Vegas was a great experience, the combination with Neon Museum was great. Pick up and transfer to Museum was good and in time. Highly recommend when in Vegas.
This is a great way to get away from the gambling full-press that is the typical day to day experience in Vegas. After an initial problem in reconfirming the excursion (the phone number quoted in the email did not seem to be picking up but thanks to reception staff at our hotel - thank you TI!) everything went very smoothly. The transfer to the airport picked up exactly on time and check-in at the terminal was slick and professional. Our pilot was helpful and friendly and the flight itself was spectacular. Although brief, there is plenty of time to get pictures and videos to treasure. Following the flight we were taken to the Neon Museum. Here the pace slows down a bit as you are booked into a particular tour/show so may have to wait around a bit. However, don't be tempted to cut your visit short as the sound and light show "Brilliant" is very good and the guided tour around the boneyard was very good. Our guide (Leah? - we were on the 10pm tour on Oct 1st) was really informative and engaging. One note - the company are at great pains to ensure you know there is no transfer back to your hotel. Once your tour ends, it is up to you to get back. The museum is only a few blocks - an easy walk - from Downton Fremont Street but although its along a main road its pretty quiet and not the best neighbourhood. We were a party of five guys, we did not feel threatened and experiencing the local "vibe" was interesting but if you are at all anxious I suggest you get the museum staff to call you a cab.
Incredible experience! Collection from our hotel and the ride to the helicopter area was seamless, as was the ride to the neon museum after the flight, a welcome surprise by our tickets for the museum that they included guided tours which was great, and the flight was amazing (terrifying but amazing!)
The helicopter ride was short as expected but still very fun. Those that sat in the front or on the left in the back seat had a much better view of the Las Vegas strip than those on the right side of the back seat. The Full Glow package at the Neon Museum was the best way to get the most out of the visit to the museum. I think the price ($200) for this whole package was up-charged though. The short helicopter ride can be had for $110, Full glow package at the museum can be purchased for approx $40. Hotel pickup for the helicopter ride and a ride to the museum after the helicopter ride was not worth $50 especially since the shuttle driver messed up by taking extra passengers that needed hotel drop off rather than just taking the people that were going to the museum. That mess up cost us time at the museum to wonder around before the scheduled guided tours. We barely got to the museum in time for our first guided tour. Overall this is a great excursion package but the transportation folks need better organization and leadership.
This was our first time in a helicopter and it was fantastic! I would do the helicopter again and again! Best views if you are sitting behind the pilot or the front. The neon museum was just ok.
If you’re unlucky enough to be seated in the right, rear of the helicopter, you might as well set your money on fire. It would be more exciting than the view that you’ll get from the tour as you’ll see very little of the strip. If you value your money and time, skip the helicopter tour and go directly to the Neon Museum.
We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.
My partner absolutely loved the Helicopter trip - I was really nervous but the pilot put me at my ease and you just need to get used to the different feel of the helicopter! For me the Neon museum was spectacular - you got to really understand the history of the hotels, and the show to lights and music is actually quite emotional to see the signs back lit up. Would recommend doing the 2 together as it really worked and loved the experience.
Thank you for sharing, we're excited to hear you enjoyed the flight. We are so grateful to provide amazing experiences for customers like you! We hope to see you again in the future.
