Took the 2.30pm trip using Papilon. They are based in Boulder City which is 30-40 minutes drive out of LV. There are some operators based in LV who give you a ride over the strip as well when you do the tour. Boulder City operators do not do this.
The helicopter ride was probably around 45 minutes to the canyon passing over Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and some extinct volcanoes first. The helicopter lands at the bottom of the canyon and you have a 30 minute picnic with the operators providing champagne and snacks. It's then approximately a 45 minute flight back to the airport. The package I chose did not include landing at the sky deck at the rim of the canyon. It was quite expensive to add on and included a boat cruise which I was not interested in. It would have been nice to do the sky deck which is a glass ledge or pathway over parts of the canyon.
