Full Description

The Las Vegas Strip from above at night

The Strip is about four miles long, and from a helicopter you see all of it at once: the big resorts, the fountains, the pyramid, the bright signs and the roads running like lines of light. A night helicopter flight over Las Vegas is one of the most popular ways to see the city, because the lights that you cannot fully appreciate from the ground fill the whole window.

The VIP flight is longer and covers more of the Strip, while the highlights flight is a short taste. Audio commentary points out landmarks as they appear, in several languages.

The High Roller, Circa and the Sphere

Among the landmarks you may see are the High Roller observation wheel at The LINQ, the tall Circa resort downtown and the huge, glowing Sphere, which opened in 2023 and is covered with light. From the air, these new landmarks show how the city keeps changing, and the High Roller's lit-up rim makes it easy to spot from far away.

Downtown is the older part of Las Vegas, and the contrast with the modern Strip is one of the best things to see from a helicopter. Exact routes depend on air traffic and conditions, so the pilot decides the flight path.

VIP night flight or highlights flight

The options differ in length and in how you get there. The VIP helicopter flight after dark is the longer flight, and it includes hotel pickup and drop-off by shuttle bus, taking about one hour in total. The highlights flight is a short 12-minute evening flight over the Strip, and you make your own way to the departure point.

Which is better? The VIP flight gives more time in the air and takes care of transport, while the highlights flight suits a short schedule. The booking panel shows the current price for each option.

Hotel shuttle, departure times and planning your evening

Flights depart in the evening, with times from about 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM, and they change through the year as the sunset time changes. Choose your date and time in the booking panel. For the VIP option, the shuttle collects you from your hotel and brings you back afterwards.

If you take the highlights flight, plan how to get to the departure point in Las Vegas, and arrive early. Flights depend on weather and wind. Children aged 2 to 11 have a child rate, and you should check how each guest is counted in the booking panel.
