    My adventure brother, Gregg, told me he had a surprise for me for our visit to Las Vegas. He booked a nighttime helicopter tour of the Las Vegas strip for us! It was so epic!
    When we arrived to check in for the flight, they offered us something special. They could not guarantee that we would be the ones that were picked but told us if we were willing to pay a small additional fee, we could be placed in the front seats, which is a much more awesome view than if you were in the back seat. We said yes, of course. And thankfully we were picked and granted approval to be the front seat passengers, so we were so stoked!
    We had to watch a short safety instructional video in the building, then after being taken to the helicopter the pilot gave us additional instructions and repeated a few things we were shown in the video. Very professional operation. They did not permit any photographs or videos until the tour flight began; however, they did take pics of everyone with the pilot in front of the helicopter before the flight.
    After everyone was in, he lifted off and was hovering just a few feet off the ground and stayed hovering in the same spot. Just lifting off and hovering was so cool. Then he turned towards the runway and took his position, waiting for another helicopter and permission from the tower.
    We were all wearing headphones so we could hear the pilot talking. In the video you can hear Gregg stoked as the flight started, but besides that you can't hear any other talking due to the helicopter noise. Everyone waiting with anticipation. Then suddenly Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" began to play through the headset and the pilot started moving forward, and the tour had begun. As soon as the music started you got that "oh man this is gonna be epic" feeling.
    It was such an amazing tour! We got to see everything Las Vegas has to offer, with the pilot talking much about the buildings and some history. He really did a great job. When talking before the flight we told him we are paramotor pilots and he said he has once taken a tandem paramotor flight and loved it. He made an amazing pass of the strip then out further into the city, then turned around and made a second pass of the strip on the other side, to make sure we had a great view of all the casinos. He occasionally asked all the passengers if they were doing okay, everyone always said everything was awesome. The pilot was even so cool he let us take a selfie with the three of us in the pic, and we talked more after the flight.
    I would so love to do this again. So fun and awesome! Worth the price.
    Thank you, Gregg, for the epic surprise!
