A couple of friends and I booked through Skydive Las Vegas and had an excellent experience. When we got there in the morning, the shop was packed with people. The staff got everyone through the normal paper work, safety video, etc. Once we got out in the hanger, the staff there made sure we were comfortable in our dive gear. Once the guides arrived, the excitement was taken to a new level. They explained what we needed to do and worked really hard at keeping the excitement up (fear down).
The actual jump was as thrilling as can be. What can I say, it was awesome. Even though I was jumping out of a perfectly good plane, there wasn't a single time that I felt like I was going to die. Overall, the experience was very positive with a couple minor negatives.
First, the guides used GoPros for filming and picture taking. Parts of the movie, well, contained only parts of you. Would have been nice to have most of you in your video of your sky dive experience. The second thing had to do with Yelp. When we got there, we checked in on Yelp and got a coupon for a free key chain. When we presented it to the staff, we were told we needed to have it printed. Now tell me, who carries a printer with them for printing Yelp coupons. Anyway, they allowed us to e-mail the coupon to them (and later said they got into trouble for that). If you are going to participate in Yelp coupons, be like everyone else. Look at the persons phone and accept the coupon. For these, I took off half a star. Other than that, this place and their employees are great.
