I’ve posted about the Fremont Street Experience (FSE) twice before (1/4/2011 and 6/16/2010) and it’s still my #1 favorite free Las Vegas show/attraction. A recent visit, however, revealed that something new has been added that isn’t free but that might be of interest to anyone who likes thrill rides. There are 4 zip lines (called Flightlines or Flightlinesz) that start from a 60 foot tall platform and runs about 800 feet down the eastern side of the Fremont Street Experience reaching speeds of up to 30 mph ending on a 14 foot platform. It runs Fri + Sat 12pm – 2am and Sun thru Thurs 12pm – midnight and costs $15 before 6pm and $20 after 6pm with unlimited rides costing $50. A waiver must be filled out by adult, 18 years of age and older. Below find a new video I recently made about it:

For more information, click on –> http://fremontstreetflightline.com/. Apparently it has been so successful in its first year of operation that they are looking to expand it. Enjoy!

Insanity is the second of three rides at the Stratosphere on the Las Vegas Strip (http://vegasreservations.com/stripmap) (see the July 3^rd posting for Big Shot).

With views of the Las Vegas Strip more than 900 feet below, this ride combines both a physical and psychological rush. Current Insanity details include:

To help celebrate the positive side Las Vegas, I thought it would be a good idea to do some postings on Las Vegas amusement rides starting with the Big Shot at the Stratosphere on the Las Vegas Strip (http://vegasreservations.com/stripmap).

On the Stratosphere’s Big Shot, you’ll take off so fast, you’ll actually feel like the rocket itself. The Big Shot whisks you 160 feet in the air in an astounding 2.5 seconds. Get a feel of weightlessness as 4 Gs of force literally lift you off your seat. You’ll then drop to shocking one negative G. The Big Shot reaches a maximum height of 1,049 feet (including the (Stratosphere Tower). Current Big Shot details include:
