| - The Fremont Street Flightlines were a great stop in Vegas, and well needed on one of the hot and steamy nights that we were there.
$20 gets you suited up and taking flight down the infamous neon and LED-lined Fremont Street. After you pay downstairs, you go to a nearby elevator to the top of a parking garage and to a corner of it where you wait through a series of turnbacks. I'm sure the wait wasn't as long as we made it out to be, but when it's 95 degrees at 8:30pm, you just want to get to where you're going and FAST.
Once you get into the suiting area, the boys instruct you on how to suit up and you head up to the flight deck. If you're a guy and you get a tight feeling in the area down below, make sure you tell the boys at the suit up area. TRUST ME, it only gets worse from here.
At the flight deck, the zip line crew hooks you and your party up to their respective zip lines and then your stomach starts to sink...even I got a little nervous, and I've bungee jumped before.
The flight down lasts a good 30-45 seconds, but it's so much fun! The breeze is a great break from the baking desert sun.
The crew offers photos of your journey via strategically-placed cameras throughout your journey. I was hot and sweating throughout the ride, so I didn't want a Hi-Def photo of that...But some people would!
Great attraction and I'd definitely do it again the next time I'm in Downtown Las Vegas.
