Are you up for the big jump? The wind’ll go whoosh. You’ll go $#!@%. Or yippee. Or yeah. Or yikes. Chances are your blood curdling screams will be heard in the sky high above the Las Vegas Strip. Stratosphere’s new SkyJump Las Vegas thrill ride will be the jump of your life—no matter what you might be yelling.

For your inner adrenaline junkie wanting the ultimate Las Vegas sky dive or base jump, SkyJump is the attraction that provides the highest controlled free fall in the world, all from the Stratosphere Tower Las Vegas. Before the jump, riders are prepped and suited up in Stratosphere’s custom jump suits and given a safety lesson. After a short elevator trip to the top of the Stratosphere Tower, the jumper is connected to a high-speed “descender” and led to the edge of the platform. Just take that last step and plummet through the sky 855 feet, equivalent to 108 floors.

Try SkyJump Las Vegas for a totally thrilled view of the Las Vegas Strip. Earn extra bragging rights when you plunge into the air with Sin City’s lights as your backdrop.

It's actually very tame and lame, very Disappointed.

You get strapped to a large wire and fall at a constant (and slow) speed, you don't free fall at all!

I've been bungee jumping before and I can guarantee you that a normal bungee jump is MUCH scarier!

Must be a new ride. X-Scream and Insanity were OKish.

I'm in transit on my way home from the states now. It's a huge jump, but lame that is a controlled decent. I was all keen to do it until I got to stratosphere. Feet first with a guide cable each side, and a fan and brake controlled decent. Fun if you just wanna jump off something high.
