What is a Las Vegas helicopter tour like at night? — featuring Travelwithchris

0:00 welcome to las vegas nevada in today's video i'm gonna be taking you on a helicopter tour over the las vegas strip now according to google and tripadvisor this is one of the most recommended excursions to do when here in the city but honestly is it worth it let's find out if you lose this you can still go

0:17 because you have it on your phone okay and they have your name and everything all right so make sure you're being back to the rotunda before 10 45. awesome they'll be there at 10 45. wow thank you they might be late but don't you be like awesome so we literally just got done buying

0:36 helicopter plane tickets to go over the las vegas strip now we're about six long island iced teas deep don't know if this is probably the smartest decision but we only have about 45 minutes left until the tour company is at our hotel to pick us up so let's jet down the strip and get dressed get our phones charged

0:56 before they arrive [Music] yeah i must say this strip is super misleading you look around and you think you're getting closer to a place or your destination and you're not like not at all so finally after about a 45-minute walk we

1:21 finally made it back to the excalibur we gotta run upstairs hopefully my phone gets enough battery charge so that i can at least like takes a few pictures while i'm up in the helicopter it's my last week here in the us and there's no better way to go out than literally going on a helicopter

1:37 right now last minute unexpectedly here in vegas we're getting into the room right now i'm gonna charge my phone order some shots let's get back out to the helicopter or two i should say where they're gonna let's go man it's a beautiful day out here in vegas beautiful night i should say

2:04 you got the luxor hanging in the back mandalay bay excalibur last month we were actually sleeping over in this tower now i must say this excalibur it's only about like 26 bucks a night when you catch it right during the week but it's not too bad it's pretty nice i like it i haven't really heard too many

2:25 bad things about this place i would recommend it to a friend so we got about five minutes to make it to where we're supposed to be getting picked up hopefully he's on time now he can be a few minutes late our boarding time isn't actually until 11 30. right now it's about 10 45 ish

2:52 so let's see if he's there [Music] so this company that we're actually going with is called maverick and they look like a huge company they have so many different helicopters out here right now and also so many different vans that pick you up at your actual hotel which is really really neat

3:17 now as i mentioned earlier this was a pretty reasonable price only 99 a person including transportation to and from your hotel not bad at all now those are the helicopters actually that we're gonna be getting on here shortly as soon as we get our names called in the intercom speaker

3:39 those things man they're actually a lot bigger once you're up close to them hey but then they sent four so we're only gonna be with two of the people if we do oh i'm sick dude well yeah like literally guys those things look tiny tiny once they're 100 200 feet up in the air but right here up close to you man

4:02 they're actually pretty decent size i've only been in a helicopter twice before now and both times i actually jumped out of them it was back when i was a paratrooper in the army this is my brother's first time as i mentioned earlier we actually got some people about to board the helicopter

4:18 right now hey they're probably super stoked there they go so we might actually be boarding like one right there wow what i find really interesting about it is that it's attached to the airport but you don't actually have to go through like the main airport security you just go through the maverick security and

4:43 through their check-in and you board the helicopter really cool now you can actually um come with your own booze or drinking your own booze which is really nice as well i mean only in vegas right so it looks like their photographer is about to come and take a picture of them how cute before they get on their

5:04 helicopter adventure gentlemen how you doing can i get your names levi and joseph got it excellent guys follow me on now spread over here so you all can see

5:29 inside all right so there's three rules they're super easy guys no smoking no flash photos that one is so i don't get blinded go ahead take pictures videos go live whatever you want just don't blind me i'm flying you okay third rule this is the most important rule don't open the doors after we land i

5:48 will open your doors for you that sounds like a joke it happens all the time please don't open the doors guys i will be super happy if you don't all right excellent and you guys will be super safe headphones are sorry headphones are hanging over your shoulders or kind of on the back of your chair

6:03 we can help you out they're not always in the same spot but if you want to wear them they're going to stop the engine noise they're also going to mess up your hair a little bit that's okay my hair doesn't look that bad right i wear them all night so if you don't want to wear them that's

6:15 okay but they are going to play some music there's little volume knobs on each ear if you guys if you guys want to talk to each other with the headphones on just yell you have to yell uh or you won't hear anything if you don't wear them you can hear each other just fine without yelling

6:27 as long as you're happy i don't mind if you yell seat belts pull these out from under your legs wrap it around your waist buckle on the side just like i did straight across okay anything else is going to be weird there's a slot here a slot here those are weird don't do them put your

6:40 suspenders on one over each shoulder down in those top two slots okay stick it in wiggle it make sure it doesn't come out get your mind out of the gutter guys okay this is serious grab these two taps pull out to the sides if you need to loosen it pull forward at the end of the flight grab the front

6:56 twist out either direction everything falls apart like all my relationships kidding guys i'm married let's make this one last okay anyways be extra careful climbing in guys it's the most dangerous part of the flight which we're climbing out actually no falling out allowed no falling out

7:15 falling asleep no falling of any kind okay all right you can fall in love that's the only one you can fall off and that's it handle right here handle right here watch your head here watch your head here don't hold on to this as a handle this is weather stripping and it just comes right out it's really

7:30 not going to support your weight it's going to make you fall same thing with the door it won't fall off but it won't support your weight as far as the seating goes i try to do three people up front three people in the back back right seat empty one second here guys can't read anything
