If High-Stakes Gambling Thrills Aren't Enough, There's Always Indoor Skydiving

Thirty-thousand fans can’t be wrong on this one. You read correctly. Roughly 30,000 tourists and locals alike come down to Vegas Indoor Skydiving to partake in one of the most unique and enthralling gigs in Las Vegas.

A mainstay in the city since 1982, Indoor skydiving will give all the g-force thrills you would get with a simulated skydiving experience, but within the safety confines of a mesh trampoline floor and foam padded walls. The bottom line - enjoy the thrill of a freefall without the use of an airplane or parachute.

With a training class, and proper one-on-one instruction, you should be ready to go in no time. They supply you with what looks like a fat suit with considerable padding and then you are subjected to a vertical wind tunnel, with speeds that vary depending on the size and weight of the student - anywhere from 65 to 90 mph. Although the experience lasts an hour, you’ll pack a lot of (no pun intended) proverbial punch within that hour.
