Las Vegas is synonymous with gambling, spectacular entertainment, and world-class dining but for all you adrenaline junkies, thrill seekers, and adventurous spirits looking for something extraordinary, Maverick Helicopter can offer you the ride of your life. There’s only one way to see the neon lights of the 2.5-mile-long famous Las Vegas Strip, with its resort-lined streets and eye-catching attractions, and that is to rise above it. Far from the maddening crowd, with views you can only appreciate from a helicopter, Maverick creates a visually stunning opportunity to see The Strip from a whole new perspective. Your journey begins with a limousine pick up, commemorative champagne and decadent chocolates, and your own personal photographer to capture all the unforgettable moments of your once-in-a-lifetime experience, with a stop at the world-famous Las Vegas Sign after the flight.
Maverick’s spectacular night flights are considered one of the top 10 outdoor activities in Vegas and the only company in the world to be named twice to the Travel Channel's "10 Best Helicopter Thrills."
Fun for any occasion, this is the ultimate tourist attraction, perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties, social celebrations and wedding ceremonies. Each year more than 225,000 passengers take to the skies with Maverick, and with 21+ years of flight time, Maverick holds the top safety record of any tourism-based aviation company in the world. The FAA awarded Maverick with the distinguished Diamond Award, and their pilots have received over 150 awards for safety and customer service. Their ECO-Star helicopters feature wraparound glass for outstanding visibility, front-facing, theater-style individual seating, and the cabin space is larger than most helicopters currently flying which provides for a more comfortable luxurious ride.
