  • So I have comprised a bucket list. One of the things on that list is to jump off a building and live to tell about it. Thanks to SkyJump Las Vegas mission accomplished. I was hunting the web for things to do in Vegas when I came across this thrilling option. Yep, I'm In! I mean what's the big deal right??? This adventure ride takes place at the Stratosphere Hotel which is all the way on down the strip. It's worth the trip. You can even take the Deuce (the Vegas Strip bus) to get there. Don't even think you are going to walk it's way too far. The price to jump is $119 but there is an admission fee to enter the tower and that fee is $20 per adult and $14 for children. There are also unlimited passes or multi ride passes available. These passes don't include SkyJump but they will get you in the tower. There is also a discount for guests of the Stratosphere. Free tower admission and only $99 to jump. I opted to stay the remainder of my trip in Vegas at the Stratosphere so I could partake in the joy rides. There is also a photo package available for $129 as well as a Video package which includes a wrist cam. This package, the one I opted for, is $149. I'm not sure if they gave me a discount or not for that. The ride itself is similar to bungee jumping but without the bounce back. It's more like a free fall or free float all the down. You truly get the "look at me I'm flying" experience. The scariest part the whole thing was looking down from the edge of the tower. It was at that moment I really believed if this were ever going to happen I was going to have to be pushed. In fact I was expecting something of the sort. I thought they would tell me to get ready instead I just heard "ok GO!" I was startled to say the least. You actually have to find your own courage to get this ride started. After a mantra of "oh, shit. oh, shit." and some serious stall tactics I finally bit the bullet and took the plunge. From there it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. You need to remove all jewelry and loose dangly bits and place them in a locker they provide you with. Then irony of all irony they give you the locker key on a chain to hang around your neck. And for whatever reason they tell you to remove your hairpins as well. I didn't but pretended I did. I just put on the replacement hair band they gave and acted as if all was well. The hairpins luckily did not cause my demise. The one thing I didn't like about this ride was it was over so quickly. Too quickly. But yep I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Next time though I'd do it night. I'd love to see the night skyline and lights on the way down.
