Description

Begin your Grand Canyon Western Ranch getaway with a helicopter flight from the Las Vegas VIP Heliport, located minutes from the Strip. Your professional pilot will fly you over the Hoover Dam, Bypass Bridge, and Fortification Hill, an extinct volcano.

Approaching the Grand Canyon West Rim, you will descend 1,500 feet below the canyon rim, flying past towering stone formations showcasing millions of years of geological history from the Paleozoic Era. The canyon’s vast size and colorful rock walls offer a memorable natural spectacle.

After the helicopter tour, you will land at the Historic Grand Canyon Western Ranch, once a hideout for Old West outlaws. Check in to your rustic pine cabin and choose to add a guided sunset horseback ride, a horse-drawn wagon tour, or a buffalo safari.

Enjoy a candlelight Western-style dinner at the Ranch Headquarters followed by live cowboy balladeers and campfire entertainment. Rest overnight, then start the next day with a hearty cowboy breakfast before returning to Las Vegas by luxury Mercedes Benz Sprinter via a scenic route through the Mojave Desert.
