Grand Canyon West Rim

Papillon offers a number of unique sightseeing tours of the West Rim Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. This rim, contrary to popular belief, is not a part of the national park. The gorgeous land is owned and operated by the native Hualapai Tribe.

While sightseeing in the West Rim, you can experience the world-famous Grand Canyon Skywalk and breathtaking canyon lookouts like Eagle Point and Guano Point.

Hoover Dam

While in Las Vegas, make time to visit the engineering marvel that attracts more than 1 million sightseers every year. The Hoover Dam is the 726-feet tall concrete gravity-arch dam that holds back the Colorado River. This dam, located in the Black Canyon between Arizona and Nevada, provides power to three separate states and is responsible for creating one of the world's largest man-made bodies of water, Lake Mead.

Papillon provides daily Las Vegas sightseeing tours that run to the world-famous Hoover Dam. Plus, our helicopter tours have clearance to fly closer to the colossal structure allowing for great photo opportunities.
