Tuesday 2nd June.
After a poor nights sleep we complained about the room and they offered to move us to a quieter area of the hotel at the end of a corridor we asked about an upgrade and ended up moving to a suite which i supposed to cost $200 extra a night but they offered it to us at $100 extra a night. Moved into this suite and it was definitely worth the extra money, I shall post a video of it later but was split up into 4 rooms and they're was loads of space, made a massive difference as it was no a very pleasant room.
We had our trip in a helicopter over the grand canyon to look forward to today, so we chilled and had a light lunch at the Lux cafe in the Venetian before getting picked up by the Heli-USA bus.
The Helicopter was so much smaller than I anticipated and was very cramped inside with 6 passengers and the pilot. It also got very very hot inside, went over Lake Las Vegas where Celine Dion has a mansion went over parts of Lake Mead and then saw Hoover dam.
Then went into Grand Canyon but no sooner had we gone into the canyon were we coming out the other side. I was under the impression you go quite deep into the canyon so i think everyone was disappointed with that. Then landed at an Indian working ranch, where we had a meal and then was due to go on a horse ride, however they argued that I hadn't paid for it despite when I booked pre-trip on the website I had selected horseride and thought I had already paid for it.
Anyway I could see that no matter how much arguing I'd have to pay again so we went on a 30 minute horse ride in the desert sun. Then got picked up by the helicopter and had a quicker journey back over the Vegas strip.
Really enjoyed the day and think it was an experience you have to do in Vegas but it was costly for what it was.
On the night we got the bus (Deuce) to downtown Freemont Street and we had an explore before having a steak at Binions steakhouse.
