Things to do / Travel Guide
Dinner, dancing, and a movie. A night at the opera. A rock concert. While these all make for fun times, you've been there and done that, right? If you are searching for some fun that'll get your heart pumping, Las Vegas has just what you're looking for.
For something that's creative, fun, and adventurous, you can set off for a picnic lunch among the clouds, drinking champagne and taking in the breathtaking vistas all while riding aloft in the basket of a hot air balloon. A hot air balloon can be rented for a day or even longer from any of several companies. Ballooning won't break your budget, and it will be an adventure you'll always remember, especially if taken with that special someone.
If you really want to get your thrill on, try bungee jumping. A. J. Hackett Bungee Jumping offers one of North America's most thrilling bungee jumps from a 170-foot-tall tower. For about $50 you can create a riveting memory that will last you a lifetime.
If bungee jumping doesn't give you enough of a bird's eye view on the region, then jumping out of a plane might be more your cup of tea. Skydiving is a growing and popular sport, and Las Vegas has several options. If you want to get that freefall adrenaline rush without getting airsick, your best bet is the Flyaway Indoor Skydiving complex. There, participants are placed in a special room where high-powered air jets simulate a skydive freefall.
Thrill seekers who are a bit more grounded but still have a need for speed can try motoring around a real racetrack at speeds of up to 180 miles per hour! Various racing packages are available at Derek Daly Performance Driving Academy and Driving 101, depending on how many laps you wish to drive. Professional instruction is also available at the academy, which is sure to improve your form and speed so that you can race full throttle. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!
