Seeing the Las Vegas Strip from above as the city lights came alive was absolutely breathtaking. The nighttime views were spectacular and gave us a completely different perspective of Las Vegas. Our pilot was very friendly, professional, and made the entire flight even more enjoyable. The experience felt smooth and well organized from start to finish. If you're visiting Las Vegas and looking for something unique and memorable, I highly recommend taking a nighttime helicopter ride with Maverick Helicopters.

I wish they had someone talking about the sites we were seeing while flying. I appreciated the pictures they took of me.

Unfortunately, our experience aligns with several others. Often times, only people frustrated with…read moresomething will bother to write a negative review, but those with a positive (or expected) experience will not write a review. So it always tends to be skewed and you have to take reviews with a grain of salt, so I was hopeful that would be the case for us and we wouldn't experience the problems that others have. Just as several others have mentioned here, our flight was cancelled the day of, after we arrived. We booked SEVEN months in advance, paid in full ~ $1200 for family of four. We arrive 30 minutes prior as instructed. They tell us, sorry, we have mechanical issues, so you are cancelled. They say, we tried to call you (we received no call because, guess what, cell service is not the best around the south rim of the grand canyon...). We said, we have seen at least 4 helicopters flying, how about canceling someone else, how do you select? Did everybody else here book 7+ months ago? Who is prioritized? The reality is they overbooked, and because we paid 7 months previous, we paid less (I looked, their prices went up since we had booked). So I guess we were the easy choice to cancel... They offered to rebook the next day, yet they know that nearly nobody can accomodate this, so it is a hollow offer where they know they can "do their part to try to rectify", but also know that nearly everybody would then just cancel, and the problem takes care of itself. Great business model... Everybody that is going to book a helicopter trip over the grand canyon is there on vacation, and nobody is staying anywhere near grand canyon village or the location of this airport. It is an hour drive just from Williams and the main road, one way. Anyone who books this is driving in from Sedona or Vegas or Phoenix for a half/one day trip, and vacation days/time is precious. Its not as though you can just go do something else nearby and wait until the next day... We had one window of time planned, and the time of this flight was it. I suppose that is why they do not really care about customer service, or screwing someone last minute. Its not like they are planning for repeat customers really... Kids were beyond disappointed. The build-up and excitement, only to be completely let down last minute. They cried as we were walking out and leaving because the talk of the helicopter ride was happening for months prior. And now to the refund. The girl at the counter said the refund would take 7-10 days. Ok, thats typical, whatever. 12 days goes by, no refund. E-mail and call. They respond and say that, because its been more then 6 months, we cannot refund back to your card. We can either ACH (and attached a form) or send a check. I respond to tell then to send a check. Who in their right mind is going to provide their bank account number and routing number into a microsoft word file and e-mail it back? Fast forward ~ 21 days. Still no check. So send another e-mail (haven't called yet because that is a whole other experience...). I receive and e-mail back, not a response to my e-mail, but a carbon copy of the first one sent 9 days prior saying I can use ACH or check. Um, huh? So here we are now, still no refund. Fortunately, since we were heading to Vegas that day (was supposed to be right after our helicopter flight), we booked with Maverick for a helicopter flight over Las Vegas the next day. $450 for family of four, and the experience was excellent all around. I'd recommend Maverick, and avoid this company.

Grand Canyon Experience by TOUR Bus…read more July 20, 2021 a day to remember for my wife Sofie and I. We took the bus tour from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and it had to have been the highlight of our vacation. The bus driver, Ron and Guide Charlie were so accommodating I'm not sure what else they could have done to make the trip more comfortable for all 51 persons on board. The views were beautiful and majestic to witness such a wonder of GOD's creation. Charlie and Ron worked so well together from the moment we left the hotel all throughout the trip. I want to sincerely thank them both for their kindness and hospitality, may the good Lord Bless both of you as you continue working these daily tours. If you travel to Las Vegas and wanna Get away, go see Charlie and Ron. Tell em you read this review and your ready to go, thank you Ric & Sofie 2021....

Papillion is a sham. Bait and switch is par for the course with this outfit. Foreigners beware…read more They seem to focus on foreigners. Read the review to learn more I wanted to do something special with my 11 year old son since we've gone to Grand Canyon multiple times in the past over six years and I wanted to fly over the Grand Canyon so I told the rep what I was looking for and they told me here we have one for you They said I would fly over the Grand Canyon and not merely look at it from a distance. That did not happen as we can use over you were down and it touchdown on the rim of the canyon, but we never flew over the canyon and that's what I paid $750 for. False advertising. And even later that year, I saw other planes fly Over the Grand Canyon and in fact flying east to west over the Colorado River so in essence they charge me $750 for a glorified bus ride and we never got over the Grand Canyon we got to the edge and landed and then took a bus ride. To the same places that my son and I have gone to already I would recommend going with another company or if you decide to take a chance and gamble make sure you get it in writing because they record all the conversations every time you call them they record conversations so I took this to my lawyer and the lawyer said it would be worth changing them in court because they lied to you it would cost more for them to represent me in Nevada than to just eat the $750 loss so I'm just telling everybody record the conversation and make sure you're not getting a bus ride for $750 Back on the plane there was a father and son couple that also had a complaint so on a airplane with 10 people 40% of us had been lied to by this company and I noticed that the captain pilot tried to usher the man who was complaining off to the side so other passengers would not hear his complaints as well. That seems to be a regular event with this company if anybody talks about wanting to go on a flight over the Grand Canyon I would say it is a phenomenal Vista but don't go in Papillion unless you plan on spending twice as much money because they do a lot of bait and switch and I'm going to pass this information onto the attorney general of Nevada so they know about it as well and also the Better Business Bureau since they seem to get their attention because Betty doesn't seem to care about her clients and any kind of false advertising or bait switch. When I called the company and tell them about the misunderstanding and the mistake made I believe her name was Betty . She said she would record of the conversation she said I have to go back and listen to all the conversation. so clearly this company has had so many complaints that they have cues of people listening to all the recorded conversations so that should give you great doubt about the ethics of that they have to have so many people listening to their calls and complaints Especially if you're from outside of America a new book this you will have no recourse because you're not American citizen so other than doing a chargeback I thought the company was going to be ethical and do some kind of compromise but no they did so the timeframe for any kind a chargeback of false advertising and bait and switch which the time had elapsed with the credit card company so therefore you're stuck so Papillion is very unethical and don't waste your money it's better to gamble that the one armed bandit in casino with the blackjack table than to go with this misfit outfit Buyer beware! Especially Foreigners

Ever since I first found out about Sky Combat Ace, it had been sitting firmly on my bucket list…read more Years ago, I even bought myself a gift certificate for their San Diego location, but that location unfortunately closed - apparently because inconsistent weather kept causing flight cancellations. I had made several trips to Las Vegas since then, but somehow never managed to fit it in. Until this past weekend. The staff was helpful and proactive in locating my reservation from years ago, transferring everything into their newer system, and getting my appointment handled without any drama. They even honored the package pricing from then... I booked the first flight of the morning, which turned out to be the perfect choice in the Vegas heat. There was no crowd, no rush, and the weather was great. The experience itself was an absolute blast and did not disappoint. I was grinning cheek to cheek the entire time. After seeing the video, my family and friends said I looked more hyped than scared. Granted, I have done tandem paragliding, heli-skiing, bungee jumping from what was then the world's highest jump in Queenstown, and tandem skydiving more than once. Still, this was completely different, and easily one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. My pilot was Christian, and he was professional, friendly, helpful, and incredibly encouraging. I took the stick for five maneuvers: an aileron roll, barrel roll, loop, hammerhead, and tail slide. Yes, I was basically LARPing as a stunt pilot, and I loved every second of it. I also added the Advanced Maneuvers and Bombing Run packages for $150 each. We even did an 8G turn! After experiencing that, I have a whole new appreciation for the high-G climb scene in Top Gun: Maverick. It looks cool on a screen, but feeling that force against your entire body is something else. I also opted for the $299 Editors add-on, which gives me the raw video files. After editing the footage with a couple of the well-known Top Gun scores, using the anthem for the maneuvers where I had the controls and, of course, "Danger Zone" for the advanced maneuvers and bombing run. I ended up wanting to watch Maverick all over again! Instead of posting mostly photos with this review, I decided the videos would tell the story much better. This is absolutely a must-do experience, especially for anyone who has ever dreamed of flying aerobatics or wondered what it feels like to be inside one of those crazy movie maneuvers. Right now, this easily ranks as one of my most memorable adventures. Five stars, all the way.

It could just be me, but his voice reminds me of Raymond Redington (I've recently been watching Blacklist a lot) which is another added bonus. Anyways, he gave the right amount of commentary and spoke clearly. Stops were well space for stretching, snacks and restrooms. There was also a stop at Seligman where the inspiration for Disney Pixar Cars came about. The Grand Canyon itself is breathtaking. We skipped the guided portion and walked the rim trail from Mather Point to Bright Angel, but if you're someone who tends to lose track of time, gets easily distracted, gets lost, or struggles with planning, you're probably better off going with the the guided tour. Don't get too close to the edge!

I contacted them in June, but they still couldn't give me a refund date. It should not take four months to receive a refund. We were so excited for this tour and were so bummed they canceled. They canceled so late in the game that we didn't have time to book another tour.

Well damn, Jackie! I can't control the weather…read more I scheduled a night time tour of the Las Vegas Strip by helicopter. I bought the flight through Groupon. I called to schedule my flight about two weeks out. The goal was to fly on a Saturday evening. They had a 10:15 slot open. I showed up well in advance. The place was busy but the staff were friendly and inviting. They were also open and honest that they were running behind a bit. No worries. I'm there to enjoy myself and that I shall. Skyline has a good lobby area with a game room, water, coffee, vending machines. They even have massage chairs for a small fee. And some music playing that took me back to high school and early college days made this a reasonable place to spend the evening. Then nature happened. Out of nowhere there came a flash of lightning less than a mile away from the airport. That put everything into a holding patter. No flights out for at least the next hour. 30 minutes later it was raining hard and the wind was gusting. The crew called it. It was too dangerous to be flying. So I got rescheduled for the next day, Sunday, at 9:45. Fast forward to Sunday, the weather was much better. The place was much less crowded. Flights were almost on time. As I sat waiting for my flight I struck up a conversation with another single flyer. We would end up flying together. So now I have a new friend, Tina. She covered the photo package. I covered the tip. A fair trade. Trevor, our pilot, gave us a rundown of what to expect. Some bumps here and there. Where we were turning. A bit about what we were seeing. As I local I chimed in and pointed out UNLV. There wasn't much needless chatter between any of us but Trevor was spot on as to where we would expect turbulance. None of it was that bad but very much different than what you feel in a fixed wing plane. Helicopters tend to sway a bit and bounce like someone jumping in an elevator. A strange feeling but not terrible on the night I flew. Soon (too soon) we were back on the ground. The adventure over. An experience to remember for sure. I've been in most things that fly over the years. This was one of final things left. Not much more to fly in now. I am grateful to the crew at Skyline Helicopters for experience, the ease of scheduling, the concern for crew and passenger safety, and most of all their stellar customer service. Sure, this wasn't exactly a smooth and perfect experience but they can't control the weather. They did their best and were up front when things went south. Good on them.

They pick you up at a specific hotel they name, and its on Grayline Tour Bus, which is comfy and huge. However, the guy who sold us this trip, said it was from 830 am to 130 pm, NOT TRUE. You will be gone for more then 7 hours. During the trip the guide points out things on the way to the dam, and gives iconic homes built and actors that live there, along many stops to take pictures. But the dam itself is an eye opener and how it was built, and the guide was good, but if you get the tour that is a "Gear Tour" you will watch a brief movie and then head down into the dam. I was disappointed as I thought we were going to go out a door and see the dam at a lower level with the enormous wall that was built rather than just seeing it from a top. Also, there is a cafe on site, if you're on the tour, make sure you go down to the dam first as it is a 45 minute tour, and then grab something to eat, because they don't leave you enough time, Also as we were leaving the elevator went down and some people didn't get to go down into the dam! It is a site to see, however next time I will do the Grand Canyon.
