Day Trip - The Grand Canyon from Las Vegas - Helicopter Tour

The Grand Canyon is located about 250 miles from Las Vegas. The trip by car takes about 4 1/2 hours. But there is another way to get there, by Helicopter. There is a numerous of companies in Vegas which offer the helicopter Grand Canyon tours. We chose the Maverick. The flight there, takes you right over Hoover Dam and the Lake Mead. You have a great opportunity to view the Grand Canyon from the air but also admire the amazing earth's formations on the way there fro about 45 min each way. The view is just beautiful; pulse you got the enjoy the lunch in the canyon as well. 
I love and defiantly I will do that again....
