Zip lining Vegas? Yea, that’s now a thing. If you’re heading over to Las Vegas anytime soon, you’ll definitely want to check out the Fremont Street Experience downtown. We’ve been there a few times (most Vegas lovers have) and always enjoyed the free shows, deep-fried Oreos and 99c shrimp cocktails. This year they’re presenting the Rock of Vegas Summer Concert Series.
Now, while you’re walking around downtown, you may hear screams of people Zip lining Vegas right over your head. Who wouldn’t want to “fly” for 800 feet above bystanders on Fremont Street below? We did it, and it was well worth the half hour wait.
We arrived around 10 p.m. on a Friday night so the place was packed with tourists and locals dancing to the rock shows, drinking and watching street performers. Above their heads, people flew by on four zip lines, all at once. The ride goes quickly at about 30 mph while you hand from a lonely steel wire… so it’s not for those with a weak stomach.
It is one of the activities in Vegas that the whole family can enjoy… if you are tall enough and don’t toss your cookies. Vomiting on those below would be a real bummer. A photo of your zip line experience is available for purchase after you reach the other end. You’ll definitely be able to fit it into your schedule as they open at noon until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and until midnight the rest of the week.
