Hosted experience: Maverick Helicopters provided our flight in exchange for social media coverage.
We flew over the Sphere and F1 track?! 🚁 Our first flight with Maverick took us to Catalina, and this time we traded ocean views for the lights of Las Vegas. We took Maverick’s Vegas Views flight at night, with the Strip stretching out below us and the Sphere glowing through the window.
Seeing the Sphere and the F1 track together from above gave me a whole new appreciation for how much is packed into this city. Save this one for your next Vegas weekend! 🤍

The Strip after dark
The ride felt so smooth! We chose a nighttime flight for those glowing Strip views. Along the route, you can spot landmarks like the Bellagio, High Roller and The STRAT. It’s a short experience, so it can fit into a weekend alongside dinner or a show.
The F1 track was part of what we saw on our visit. Your views will depend on the conditions and what is happening around the Strip when you fly, so treat the Reel as a look at our experience rather than a promise of an identical route or view.
A few details before you book
Flight: Vegas Views with Maverick Helicopters. The official listing gives an approximate duration of 10–12 minutes; allow additional time for check-in and the preflight briefing. Follow the arrival instructions in your booking confirmation.
Price: Advertised from $139 per person when checked November 9, 2026. Pricing varies with seasonality, availability and demand. Check your selected date and final total on Maverick’s official Vegas Views page.
Departure: Las Vegas Strip Terminal, 6075 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV. Confirm the terminal and arrival time on your reservation.
Seating: Maverick assigns seats at check-in for weight and balance. Vegas Views is a shared flight unless you purchase all seats, so don’t assume a particular seat or private helicopter when booking.
My camera tip
Turn your camera flash off to help reduce reflections in the windows. Maverick allows photos and video once you’re inside the helicopter, so have your phone ready and follow the crew’s instructions. The nighttime lights were the whole reason we chose this flight! 🌃
