Sin City may be known for its iconic Strip but it is much more than just a gambling mecca. It’s a gateway to day trips to some of the West’s most beautiful natural landscapes.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or it’s your first time in Vegas, there’s no better way to explore than on a tour. Check out our list of the best tours to try in Las Vegas below!
1. Helicopter Flight Over The Strip
Helicopter tours are one of the best ways to get a bird’s eye view of Las Vegas. Whether you’re looking for an evening flight over the Strip or a tour that takes you deep into the Grand Canyon, there are plenty of options to choose from.
For a truly unforgettable experience, book a helicopter night flight over the Las Vegas Strip. This 12-to-15-minute flight takes you high above the glitzy hotels of the city in an ECO-Star helicopter, which is designed for sightseeing with forward-facing seats and 180 degrees of unrestricted panoramic views.
During your flight, you’ll see iconic sights such as the Luxor Space Beam, Caesars Palace, Bellagio Fountains, and all the neon signs of Downtown. You’ll also enjoy a breathtaking hairpin turn as you return to the heliport.

2. Antelope Canyon Tour
Antelope Canyon is a dazzling natural wonder that’s sure to make your jaw drop. Its towering walls and stunning light beams attract thousands of visitors each year.
The best way to experience Antelope Canyon is by taking a guided tour. You’ll be accompanied by a local Navajo guide who will share the history of the area and tell you all about the canyon’s stunning formations.
You can choose between Upper Antelope Canyon or Lower Antelope Canyon, and there are also tours of the less-visited Canyon X (which is essentially a merger of the features of both canyons). Whether you’re visiting for photography purposes or just to admire these beautiful landscapes, you’ll definitely want to book a guided tour.
