I doubt you will find any "For Hire Helicopters" here in La$ Vega$. I think the only one that is cheap enough for training will be Silver State Helicopters. They have a website.
You may want to check with guys like NrFairy. I know he rented one in Southern California some years back. Others here also get block time somewhere in Southern California.
Getting a conversion is not as easy as you make it sound.....

I do know there is at least one school out of North Las Vegas Airport and one out of Boulder.

Enjoy the sights.

I passed through Boulder City last year on my way to North Dakota, and met the people at Vegas Air Service, I also happen to know the owner. Not sure why they have not responded to e-mail, but will find out. They have a variety of aircraft to choose from, and I would recommend going there.

There used to be a company called Red Rock Aviation in/near Vegas.

www.redrockaviation.com points you to www.flightpro42.com where the following message is displayed.

"If you arrived at this website looking for Red Rock Aviation, please be advised that the owners of that school have parted ways. You can contact Michael Gerlicher at (702) 354-8698 for further information regarding flight training in the greater Las Vegas area."
