Only reason this gets 1...
Only reason this gets 1 star is that this was the first time in a helicopter. Right side of the helicopter had minimal views of the strip unless you are in the front. Middle seats in the back have no view and should be discounted. Absolutely zero reason to pay full price for half the view. Nothing more than a money grab and they clearly don't care about customer satisfaction or they would fix the issue. Shame on Pappilion and I hope this causes people to find another company to use for this.

The right side of...
The right side of helicopter got no view. If they know its kn the left they should do a full turn so that the right side of helicopters can see as well. Waste of money

45min wait for 9min ride.
The ride itself is extremely short, about nine minutes, and that’s being generous. Unless you’re in the front seat or directly behind the pilot, you don’t get a clear view of the Las Vegas Strip. We were a group of four, and when we called ahead to confirm that all of us would have window seats, we were advised to book two separate helicopters. Despite that, upon arrival they placed all four of us in a single six‑seat helicopter, which meant two of us had no real view of the Strip at all. You’re required to arrive 45 minutes early, yet the shuttle from the airport to the helicopter took longer than the actual flight.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Manuel. We’re sorry to hear that the timing and seating arrangements did not meet your expectations during the Vegas VIP After Dark Strip Helicopter Tour. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll use it to improve our services in the future.

Worth it if you’ve never been in a helicopter before and you want to experience it
If you’ve never been in a helicopter before, it’s probably worth it everything was done very professionally. We never felt unsafe or anything. It was all done properly and right my only issue is it was just over too quick. The actual flight time was probably only about 1520 minutes it was just over too quick. That’s all we paid a lot of money for this flight and only lasted maybe 15 minutes max the view is great what we saw was great, but it just did not last long enough.
