Yes, Vegas is a good airport to start the rest of the trip around Nevada, Utah Arizona etc, but one must visit at least once, even if its only to watch the idiots gambling there money away, with smiles on their faces, that I just don't understand, would rather spend it on something else, like the car!!!!

The helicopter ride was just great fun, how would that be for a job, flying peoples around the Grand Canyon, our pilot Daniel came from Florida, he came up once and took a flight around the Canyon, and thought, what better way to spend my flying hours, got a job and went home and moved to the Canyon Village.

The Papillon operation is one of the best I have seen, everything was very slick, every staff member was very professional, all helos were absolutely spick and span, whole tarmac area was spotless, well laid out, signposted, walkways clear, whole new building and carpark area, looks like someone spent a lot of money setting it all up, all helos looked fairly new, livery on them was all uniform etc. You felt confident that they all knew what they were doing, and that you were in good hands flying around with them. Although it wasn't cheap, it was worth it.
