| - " It's a Bird ... It's a Plane ... It's Superwomen " Just kidding. It's just me getting ready to drop 108 floors from the Stratosphere tower.
The Sky Jump had been on my Bucketlist ever since I went Sky diving 21,000 ft. last year. Since this jump was only 855ft. and a controlled descent like Bungee jumping, I thought piece of cake, right? NO, I was so wrong.
There are 3 different packages to chose from:
- $119.00 for the Jump
- $129.00 for the Jump and photos
- $149.00 for the Jump, photos and wristband. All photos uploaded on a USB.
There is a separate admission fee to the tower which is $20.00. The good thing is If your a guest of the hotel, admission fee is waived and they give you a discount for the Jump.
I chose the more expensive package. When Im old and grey, I want to be able to look at videos and photos and remember in my youth that I WAS A BADASS.
After I paid for my package and signed my deathwish, I got suited up. The suit was a cute blue jumper. My friends were too scared to even go up the Stratosphere, so they stayed downstairs in the " waiting zone " which is also where you land.
There were three other people doing the jump so we all walked into the elevator together. At this point I wish I had taken a shot or two. Why had I choosen to eat a buffet instead? The ride up the elevator seemed like an eternity. The doors finally opened at the 108th floor. I followed the employee to the jump area.
Before you walk on the ledge, your taken to a room where your straps are attached to your
Blue suit. Its all glass so all guest visiting at the Observation deck can see this being done. Guest were taking photos of me probably because only insane people do stuff like sky jump off tall buildings.
I finally walked on the ledge and another employee double checked my straps. He had me turn around and take a photo and then explained how my wrist camera worked. Once he said the spill, he told me to jump when I was ready.
It was 8pm on Saturday night and here I was standing on a ledge from one of the tallest buiding ever built. I looked down to the Strip and see Trump Towers. From way above Trump Towers looks only a few feet high. When I did my first sky dive, I wasnt too scared but since I had to go off the ledge at my free will, the thought scared me. I put my big girl pants on and .....
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Like the Movie Toy Story said " Its not falling, its flying with Grace "
Before I could take it all in, it was over. I landed on the ground and immediately looked up. The jump was so high which I didnt realize until afterwards. One of the best experiences in my life. Words cant describe it. I loved the thrill.
Once is good enough for me. Its a must do for all thrill seekers.
