Go To There! Experience The World With Flyover in Las Vegas

By Maureen Martin | July 17, 2024 | Travel

We are all about the slow-living lifestyle, so we were super excited to visit Las Vegas thoughtfully. Thanks to Flyover in Las Vegas, we combined moments of excitement with breaks to dine and be present.

We stayed at the New York Hotel and Casino. This hotel recreates classic New York landmarks such as the Manhattan Skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square and the Statue of Liberty to capture the sights, sounds, and spirit of the Big Apple.

Our Flyover Experiences

Imagine taking a helicopter or air ballooning over Las Vegas. Now, add a shot of adrenaline on a roller coaster. Yes, now you have it! Flyover is sights, sounds, and scents, an immersive 8-minute experience. If you are motion-sensitive, take an aisle seat, and you will be fine.

West Wonders of the American West

Here is a clip of the visuals that gives you a little taste of the sights. It’s a bird’s-eye view of America. Imagine yourself as a majestic Eagle soaring, and brace yourself.

Iceland: Landscapes & Lore

Ascending above vast glaciers, breathtaking fjords, and ancient mysteries will allow you to explore the realm of fire and ice. Hold onto your chair and let yourself get carried away to explore Iceland. Preview the Legendary Iceland trailer here.

Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies

It’s the Canadian Rockies like you’ve never seen before. Flyover’s alpine adventure takes you over legendary mountain vistas, such as the snow-capped peaks of Mount Somervell and the fabled waters of Maligne Lake. Watch the Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies trailer here.

Make sure to schedule a post-flight cocktail while you are at Flyover. Flyover Studio and Lost Cactus Bar are feet away from the strip, but the decor gives you the feeling of being in a calm cocoon away from the sights and sounds of Vegas. We recommend the Prickly Pear Margarita served with a smile by the charming bar staff.

What we ate

The Mayfair Supper Club draws it’s influence from top supper clubs around the world. Its a feast for the senses with impeccable presentations, flavor and cocktail selections, set in the glamorous of 60’s eras of Las Vegas and old New York set against the Fountains of Bellagio™. In all the best ways, The Mayfair is anything but the usual

Dinner at Superfrico Las Vegas
