Oh! Boy what a day....we started off with a great breakfast at the Bellagio Cafe...most expensive breaky we have ever had...But boy was it tasty...We walked around the Bellagio for awhile then  headed over to catch our Limo to the airport....There were 6 of us in the Copter all really nice people ...our pilot was the cutest little lady name of Odeil pretty name full of fun and very capable that's for sure...she gave us a very good ride...we had a commentary and background music on our headphones....Once at the Grand Canyon she landed the helicopter on a high ridge over looking the Colorado River...What a view we saw humming birds and lizards ....We recomend this to anyone it was fantastic...nice box lunch and well chilled champange ...
