Papillon Helicopters - Las Vegas

We chose the tour that included a landing on a very private plateau, a champagne toast, as well as a small picnic basket. On the way back to Las Vegas we flew over down town, as well as the strip before landing. The trip was amazing. The staff was very informative and attentive. My only complaint, and no fault of Papillon, was a group on our flight from Quebec, they smoked, and put their butts out on the floor of the Grand Canyon and left them there. That was a little shocking to me. I scooped them up and put them in the trash. Please don’t litter anywhere, but especially in a protected National Park. I promise you I will never litter in Canada. A shout out to Devon and Rafael, very personable, professional and passionate about the beauty of the Grand Canyon. Thanks so much for a beautiful day.

My husband and I had the most magical experience with our Papillon helicopter tour into the Grand Canyon. We decided on the Grand Celebration Tour and everything was wonderful, from the time we were picked up at our hotel until we returned. Landing in the Grand Canyon was something that is hard to put into words. There are few places you can go that have been untouched by man where you can just enjoy the pure beauty of this world. It was such a spiritual moment to be there in the Canyon and just enjoy the silence along with the astounding surroundings!! It truly was a chilling moment!! It was worth every penny and our pilot, Jimmy, was awesome! He was knowledgeable, funny and so personable. It was like taking a ride with an old friend!! My husband and I were both nervous, at first, but Jimmy quickly calmed our nerves and helped make the experience unforgettable!! We would definitely do this again!! If you ever get the chance, JUST DO IT!! The "high" from this experience lasted for days and it tops the list of things we will never, ever forget!!

I recently experienced the Papillon Celebration Tour to the Grand Canyon, and it was an unforgettable adventure. The journey began with a comfortable flight that provided awe-inspiring, panoramic views of the Grand Canyon’s vast, dramatic landscape. During the flight, our guide, Devon, shared fascinating and useful information that enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the natural wonder below. One of the highlights was a special stop where we enjoyed American champagne and a selection of snacks—an enjoyable way to relax and take in the surroundings before our return flight. On the way back, we made a brief stop for refueling, and the excitement continued with a spectacular flyover of the Las Vegas Strip. Seeing the iconic lights of the Strip from above added an exhilarating touch to an already impressive tour. The entire experience lasted around four hours, making it a well-paced and comprehensive excursion. However, one area for improvement was the hotel pick-up and drop-off service. The tour bus drivers could have been more efficient, as there were some delays and logistical hiccups that impacted the overall experience. Despite the minor issues with transportation, the tour itself was exceptional. The combination of breathtaking views, engaging commentary, and unique touches like the champagne stop made it a truly memorable day.

I have no affiliation with Papillon, but 5 Stars all around. The last three trips to vegas we have booked a Helicopter tour or small plane tour. Our first tour was Grand Canyon, they picked us up promptly drove us out to Boulder Airport and we had a fantastic tour. Next Trip we did a helicopter tour over the Strip at night. Once again extremely professional. Last trip we decided to do Antelope Canyon, and of course, we were booking with Papillon. They took a small Cessna, seats 8 people. If you haven't been in a small plane before, it's bumpy, that's just the nature of small planes. Our pilot was fantastic, bumps here and there, but got us there in no time. The tour Papillon set up for us was equally an amazing experience. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Las Vegas and next tour. Hopefully you guys don't run out of options to do/see!!

Wow…… what a fantastic experience. A professional team of people who really know what they are doing. We did the Hoover Dam and Vegas strip experience and got to witness the most incredible views. Our pilot was knowledgeable and really added to the whole experience. Thank you. Dave & Sarah.

Breathtaking experience to see Strip by Night in Las Vegas. Everything was perfect with Papillon crew. You can stand next to the pilot if there id availability upon an extra fee. Definitely a must if you visit Las Vegas.

If you're in Vegas, book a helicopter tour with Papillon and prepare for the ride of your life. And if you’re lucky enough to get Jimmy as your pilot, you're in for a real treat. Jimmy is not only a top-tier pilot, but he's also the funniest guy in the sky. His hilarious one-liners and quirky facts about the Strip and Hoover Dam had us laughing the entire flight—making it feel less like a tour and more like hanging out with a buddy who just happens to know everything about Vegas. The views? Absolutely stunning. From the Strip to the vast desert, every angle is a postcard waiting to happen. Jimmy made it all even better with his charm and knowledge, turning what could’ve been just a scenic flight into an unforgettable experience. Honestly, if you’re thinking about doing a helicopter tour, do yourself a favor: book Papillon, and if you’re lucky enough to get Jimmy as your pilot, count yourself among the lucky ones. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, humor, and, well, feeling like a VIP. Couldn’t have asked for a better flight!

Matt, our pilot was amazing! We have been to the canyon multiple times from Las Vegas and this by far was the best. We chose the grand celebration tour that landed in the canyon and supplied champagne with a light mid day snack. This tour allowed enough time to enjoy the views and snap some pictures. Highly recommend.
