| - I was the only one in my group to even attempt this crazy adventure. Located very, very north on The Strip, it is somewhat of a pain to get to, though riding any of the buses will get you there. Though reservations were not necessary, as I just walked up to do it, it is somewhat recommended in order to accommodate certain times. Luckily for me, there was slot an hour from when I purchased my jump so I walked around The Strat playing the floor while I waited. Some might not be so lucky.
One of the very nice things about the process is that the staff allows any fence-sitters to view on the tv, behind the counter, the current jumpers and even allows them to head outside to the landing pad to watch the whole ordeal.
As I made my way to the jump, the staff checked and double-checked my straps for the jump suit and to ensure I am in the appropriate weight limit.
The staff went step-by-step the procedure of the jump and eventually leads you out to a platform overlooking The Strat. Then they let you jump/walk off. Though many nay sayer would complain of the "control" of the jump, it was actually very fun. The strap and connectors only regulated the landing and allowed free fall for a majority of the way down.
My only real complaint, and initial point of hesitation, was the price of the jump, but it all turned out to be worth it. It's definitely something different on The Strip.
