Race fans attending the 2011 NASCAR Weekend, March 4-6, can travel to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in VIP style with Maverick Helicopters.

Maverick Helicopters is the only helicopter company to provide air travel to and from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway during the 2011 NASCAR Weekend. Because more than 400 race fans flew with Maverick Helicopters during the event last year, the company will dedicate the majority of its fleet to this year’s event. Maverick Helicopters has been providing race-day transportation for more than 10 years.

“This is one of our biggest helicopter events of the year,” said Greg Rochna, owner of Maverick Helicopters. “We are excited to be the Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s exclusive helicopter company and know fans that choose to travel by helicopter will have an experience they will never forget.”

2011 NASCAR Weekend includes the following events: Stratosphere Pole Day on Friday, March 4; NASCAR Nationwide Series Sam’s Town 300 on Saturday, March 5, and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Kobalt Tools 400 on Sunday, March 6. Maverick Helicopters has NASCAR VIP Transfer packages as well as private and custom charters available during these events.

The NASCAR VIP Transfer package includes travel in a state-of-the-art helicopter, which is outfitted with comfortable leather seats and wraparound glass for an unobstructed view. The package is priced at $500 for round-trip transportation on Saturday or Sunday, with one-way flights being offered on Sunday at $300 per person. There is a multi-day discount for those who make advanced reservations. All flights depart and arrive through the company’s main terminal, which is located at 6075 Las Vegas Boulevard South, near Mandalay Bay. Complimentary round-trip ground transportation to and from select Strip properties is included. Reservations are now being accepted.
