This past Vegas vacation, I stayed in downtown Las Vegas
with my parents. We frequently saw
people zipping and zooming above us as we walked through the Fremont Street
Experience. While I am too scared to do
any ziplining in my home state of Hawaii, SlotZilla - a 12-story, slot
machine-inspired zip line attraction - looked like something I could
accomplish.
SlotZilla offers two ways to fly. In the lower zipline, you zip in a seated
position and start off 77 feet up. Flyers
land halfway down the Fremont Street Experience pedestrian promenade (between
the Four Queens and Fremont casinos). On the upper zoomline, you'll take off in
Super Man form and from 114 feet up. Flyers
will fly 1,750 feet to a landing platform at the historic Golden Gate casino.
Our group wanted to fly on the
upper zoomline, but it kept selling out so we decided to do the lower
line. As you go through the line and
wait your turn, you'll be suited up with the harness. I was a little anxious as I walked down the
stairs and was suspended, but the exhilaration kicked in as we started
ziplining. It was a thrill and the
distance was just right for me. When you
reach the end, the line jerks a bit and camera flashes will distract you as you
are slowly pulled back on the platform.
You'll most certainly laugh at the pictures they took of you and you can
purchase them to enjoy forever.
SlotZilla is open 1:00 p.m. to
1:00 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and until 2:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. There are some height/weight requirements for riders.
