Select participants and date
You lift off from a compact VIP heliport minutes from the Strip and Las Vegas shrinks into a patchwork of gold and glass. The helicopter tilts, and the Mojave unfurls below: checkerboard washes, rugged ranges and, then, a sudden flare of rust—Valley of Fire. The pilot eases down onto a private sandstone plateau and the desert stretches outward like a quiet audience, the wind rearranging the grit as if testing your boots.
