The experience was excellent in every way. The pilot and all staff were very polite and helpful, the experiences were all perfect and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vegas.
Overall an enjoyable time was had.
I had an amazing experience doing this trip of a lifetime, I went on my own as my companions didn’t want to go. I booked the horse riding at the ranch at the time of booking and I’m so glad I did. 5 star helicopters kept in touch by wattsapp and telephone to ensure I knew the instructions for pickup etc. I could not fault them, Eddie was out pilot, he was fabulous and very knowledgeable. When at the ranch the staff were great. The horses were really well looked after, I rode Brandy who was great! Food was also good, I wish I’d purchased a cowboy hat so I looked the part when I had my photos taken with the real cowboys. I would recommend this trip!
Trip not guaranteed to happen and they have no contingency plan if you’re not flexible on the days … it was disappointing to say the least (as it was my birthday celebration desire) … i wish they had an alternative to cancelling…

Mad Dog made our trip such fun and very memorable, such a fabulous character with an amazing knowledge to keep us entertained. Would highly recommend the trip!
I have just returned to the UK and had to write a review, I would highly recommend this trip. It was very well organised from the start with pickup from our hotel, ending with return to our hotel. Safety was paramount and Marcus our pilot put us at ease also explaining interesting facts throughout the flight. The ranch visit was fantastic, an excellent meal serenaded by Cowboy Dave, he sang ‘Country Roads’ for me, my husband passed away last year, it was one of his favourite songs and played at his funeral, I felt he was with me. There were options to horse ride or take a wagon ride which we regret not doing now but it was lovely to walk around the ranch and meet the horses. We took our little friend Sweep along, a standing family joke and Marcus was so kind to allow a photo of him in the cockpit, it made our day! This trip was on my bucket list in retirement with my husband but sadly that was not to be but I did it for both of us. Thank you so much 5 Star helicopters.
The helicopter flight was awesome. The pilot was very skilled. The tour was one a a kind. I will return to experience it again.
