Top 6 Extreme activities – only in Las Vegas
Thursday 31, January 2013
Mention Vegas to anyone and it will instantly make them think of one thing. Gambling. It's a massive part of the appeal of Vegas. There's something so exciting about playing the one armed bandits whilst sipping a martini.
You could easily spend your entire trip going
from one casino to another, but there's so much more to explore. Whilst rolling
double sixes on the craps table may get the adrenaline pumping, nothing will
get it pumping more than getting involved in some of the extreme activities available in Vegas.
Las Vegas is unlike any other city in the world.
Where else could you head to the shooting range, drive a real Nascar and even
experience zero gravity?
High Roller Suites arranges more extreme activities than you could ever wish for. Director Andrew Boas says “It is only when
you really get to know Vegas that you appreciate the unbelievable variety it
offers, not least for adrenaline junkies!”
Gun
shooting
Ever fancied firing a grenade launcher, or maybe
you're more of the handgun type. Guns include glocks, Uzi, M6 rifles, machine
guns, desert eagles and more. Prices start from £40 (Including transfers)
Sky
Diving
Get a bird's eye view of the entire desert from
15,000 feet. Fly and leap out across the Mojave Desert taking in the awesome
surroundings. Prices start from £130.
Zero G
There isn't a person in the world who hasn't
wondered what it feels like to be in space. In Vegas it's possible to
experience the weightlessness of zero gravity. This is one of only a handful of
places in the world where you can truly be free, of gravity. Taking off in a
specially modified Boeing 727, the aircraft performs parabolic arcs during
flight to create a weightless environment allowing you to float, flip and soar
as if you were in space. Prices start from £3100.
Nascar
Racing
Experience driving in a real Nascar, reaching
speeds you’ve only ever dreamed of. Either as a passenger or behind the wheel,
this is guaranteed to get the heart beating faster than ever before. Prices
start from £65.
ZIP
Line
Bootleg Canyon – up to 80mph across 4 zip lines
over an incredible 1.5miles. Prices start from £100 (Including Transfers).
Dune
buggies
With so much desert, it would be mad not to try
out dune buggy racing. Challenge friends and family to beat you to the finish
line. Be prepared to get very dusty. Prices start from £60.
Las Vegas is a place of true adventure, far beyond just gambling at the casinos.
If you want some real stories to tell, get outside and get the adrenaline
really pumping.
