Top 10 Things to do in Vegas for the Adrenaline Junkie
Do you get a rush by doing exciting, exhilarating, and sometimes even crazy things? Are you a thrill seeker at heart? Vegas can be the place for you. By land, sea, or sky, there is an adventure to be had for even the toughest adrenaline junkie.
The Sky’s the Limit…
10.) Skydive Las Vegas specializes in first time jumpers and can be the ultimate heart-pounding experience. Cruise at an altitude of 2,000 feet in the biggest skydive aircraft, over beautiful landscapes featuring Lake Mead, the Colorado River, and Hoover Dam. Take a leap of faith and freefall at 120 MPH. Convenience is the key, and pickup is across from Mandalay Bay and takes 2-3 hours for the whole trip.
9.) Not ready to leap out of a plane? Try Flyaway Indoor Sky Diving. After a quick 20 minute training session, gear up in a flight suit and helmet to soar in America’s first vertical wind tunnel. 3 minutes in the air, and you will float weightlessly. Single sessions start at $75.
8.) Ever want to be a real life fighter pilot? Well here is your chance to gun down a few enemies with Air Combat USA. For around $1500.00, dogfight over the Nevada desert with the most widely known air combat school in the world.
7.) In Vegas, your dreams to float weightlessly can be achieved with Zero G. A specially modified 727 Aircraft entitled “G Force One” is the only way to literally “hang” without leaving for outer space. Join the ranks of Tom Hanks (for Apollo 13) and NASA astronauts (for trainings) for the price of a little over 4k.
By Sea…
6.) Ever want to see Vegas from the Colorado River and gaze at the Grand Canyon from the bottom? Try out your inner daredevil with a white water rafting trip from The Destination Store. With a pickup at your hotel, Hoover Dam stop, and Route 66 tour, you cover all bases.
5.) Get away from the bright lights of the big city with a Jet Ski excursion on serene Lake Mead or Lake Mohave. Enjoy fun in the sun atop your own personal watercraft. Rentals for Skiwi can include trucks and is quick and easy.
By Land…
4.) Bang, bang, you’re dead. Try out your sharp shooter skills at Las Vegas Gun Range and Firearm Center. More than just a shooting range, experience the excitement of firing a machine gun, rifle, or exotic handgun. Hang out in the Safari Lounge, or stock up the gun safe with firearm accessories.
3.) Dune Buggy adventures take you to the beautiful sands of the desert in your state-of-the-art buggy. Travel up to 35 MPH over rugged terrains and
feel the adrenaline rush as you check out the rattlesnake cliffs and Look Out Dune.
2.) Be one with nature and embrace your inner cowboy with a horseback ride in Red Rock Canyon. Visit 19th Century Gold mines, check out the Colorado River, and explore the magical canyons. Choose a lunch or dinner package starting from $115.
1.) Have your share of roller coaster rides in Sin City, starting with The Canyon Blaster at Circus Circus, Speed/The Ride at Sahara, and The Manhattan Express at New York New York. Touted as the first “hyper coaster”, The Desperado at Buffalo Bill’s sported the tallest (209 feet), the fastest (80MPH), the longest (5843 ft of track) and highest drop (225 ft.) in 1993 during it’s debut.
