Booked at Mandalay bay concierge desk, they pushed this company saying they had bigger helicopters which made me suspicious but my wife insisted :) having looked around it seems there are other companies which offer the "bigger helicopter " . Anway the trip I took was the winddancer and was great fun the pilot was funny and informaative, The Canyon is amazing and the helicopter was super!! The pilot really made a great trip greater. here is the big BUT unfortunately some of the other guests paid a lot less than me booking directly with Mustang which is appranently another company they own. And when I asked the concierge they told me that they could have saved me $100 had I asked them for the other company (thats why we use the concierge as they are supposed tobe impartial ) - - maybe they are getting paid more to push Maverick who knows. So remember that the concierge wont recommend the best options only the most expensive !!!

Keep expectations reasonable and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend this trip.

Matt was a great pilot and a wonderful host. His personality, choice of music, sense of humor, and knowledge of the canyon made our trip (very) worth while.

I did a TON of research on different touring companies out out to the Grand Canyon. Given that this was my first visit to the west coast, and I was trying to see all of Las Vegas as well, I had to squeeze as much in as possible in a full day trip.

I considered several companies, but settled on Maverick's Canyon Dream Tour based previous reviews of all companies.

The tour started with Maverick picking us up at the Venetian at about 6am before making several other stops on the way back to their headquarters. We checked in, weighed in and took seats on the plane out to the GC. From there, our tour started off with a beautiful 30-40 minute helicopter ride around the north and south rims of the GC. Our driver, Ed, was quite the narrator sharing the GC's rich history with us passengers. After the helicopter ride, we were bused to several lookout points in the GC. Robert, the driver, was always courteous and had a great attitude about making sure everyone had a fabulous time. All in all, there is no price tag on a trip of this nature and I'd recommend Maverick to ANYONE for ANY TOUR! I hope to bring my parents back next year as well :)

Thanks Maverick, for an incredible day that we will never ever forget. DVD made from the helicopter was awesome too!!!

I really wanted to land at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and this was the tour to do. I cannot recall precisely the name of the particular tour but it was a full helicopter tour from Vegas, over Hoover Dam, landing in the Canyon for breakfast before flying back in the helicopter over the strip.

The advantage of this was it was helicopter all the way (not 10 hours in a coach!), fab modern helicopter with knowledgeable pilot, landing on the base of the canyon (an absolute must!) and all in around 3.5hrs!

This is a great way to see the canyon without spending all day on a coach. After passing the Skywalk, i would say don't bother and instead to the full helicopter tour - making sure to land - not just fly over.

Professional company - just brilliant!

My husband, daughter, and I took the Canyon Dream tour. We researched various tours and safety ratings before booking this one. It fit the bill perfectly. My husband needed assistance getting on the plane and into the helicopter. They couldn't have been more helpful and courteous. Such an unforgettable, beautiful day in our lives. Thank you, Maverick.
