Las Vegas is best seen from the ground? Or is it?

Unless you happen to be enough of a high roller to have been comped the penthouse suite, you will not see Las Vegas from a great height. Unless, of course, you get airborne. There are several companies offering chopper rides around the strip and also to less urban destinations like the grand canyon. Papillion Grand is one such tour operator. After all, what could be better than immersing yourself in the lights and action of Las Vegas? How about appreciating a panoramic view from 2,000 feet?



An experience like this can't be cheap. A quick jaunt around the city will set you back about $100; although cheaper deals are sometimes available. It is between $200-$300 for a trip to the Grand Canyon. Some of these include a chopper ride down into the canyon itself.


And you though people only went to Las Vegas to gamble.
