We wanted to do some bucket list things while in Vegas!. This looked like fun, but weren't sure what to expect. The bus came to pick us up; the driver gave us some history on the way out to the site and was funny. We arrived at the office (in an industrial park and wasn't sure........). There were four of us waiting and signing your waivers! EEK. Then four more people came so our entire group was 8. We were then taken into another room, fitted with a harness and then safety training (they repeated this multiple times and at each launch!) We went for the 7PM trip because we didn't want to bake in the desert during the daytime; we preferred to plunge into the depths of the canyon at night while seeing the stars and the lights of Vegas.
The climb up to the first launch site was a little further than I thought, but the guides didn't rush anybody and allowed short rest periods on the way up and it took about 30 minutes to get up to the top--then we got a scenic view--WOW and so beautiful. The sunset was spectacular. The four runs were so fun, the speed was exilerating and I would do it again and again. I would love to do this early in the morning at sunrise; I would imagine it would be as spectacular!
This is a must do experience. The Fremont line is run by the same company, but not even close to the same experience!
Aaron, Jason, and I'm sorry I can't remember the third person, they were fun and still watching for your safety.
A very liberating and amazing experience. Seeing the stars and soaring in the night was fabulous.
There is no other outdoor activity that I am aware of that is as much fun and so worth the price--2 1/2 hours on non-stop excitement.
