Skydive Las Vegas, Boulder City

In Vegas, there are other ways to raise one's heart rate besides blackjack. Namely, Skydive Las Vegas, where experienced and licensed instructors are securely strapped to first-time skydivers before jumping out an airplane and proceeding to free fall for up to 45 seconds before deploying a parachute.

During the trip down, the instructors help skydivers pilot the parachute above stunning views of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam before safely landing in an area right next to their facility where family and friends stand cheering. What's more, transportation from the Las Vegas Strip, only 30 minutes away, is complimentary, making it easy for first-time skydivers to get to the experience of a lifetime.
