This was brilliant, I loved it. I booked the day before from the hotel using the kiosk booking system - it was so easy, it gave available times and i paid using my card. The staff were all lovely and really friendly, really put us at ease whilst waiting to go up, preparing to jump and afterwards. They provide you with gear and ensure its strapped on tight. You can watch people jump from the ground floor while you're watching to go up which is fun if not nerve wracking. They do thorough safety checks, talk you through how to jump safely etc. There is an option to record yourself which I paid the extra for as probably only ever going to do it once and i'm glad I did - it's fun to look back on it. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who is seeking a scary but exciting thrill :)

Had an amazing experience doing the sky jump. We booked online prior to travelling to Las Vegas to ensure we wouldn’t miss out. Check in was a breeze. They suited us up and took us to the top to jump. I felt safe the entire time and you are checked and rechecked about 4 times by different people to ensure you are safe. The jump itself was amazing. I paid for the video package and upon returning to the UK the USB stick would not work, but I contacted the company who sent me the digital files. It is a truly fantastic experience and the highlight of my vegas trip. Some of the staff lacked enthusiasm, but I can let that go as had such a memorable time

Like many have stated previously - call to check first if it's operating as it often closes due to wind/weather. I'd also recommend making a booking as walk-ups don't seem to be too readily available. After a couple of false starts with closures, I finally got to jump and it was definitely a worthwhile experience. The worst part is the anticipation, but once you're all hooked up on that ledge, just listen to the attendant's countdown and leap!

"Safe thrill ride exceeding well executed by the guides."

Amazing time. One of those things you think would be a total tourist trap but dramatically exceeded expectations. Staff-top notch from the guy who checked us in to the multiple safety checks to the people at the top who help you jump. They are nice and do a great job with the psychology you might need to do this. Jump-kind of like that feeling before jumping into a cold lake but x 100. That moment the guide counts down (3,2,1) and then it’s up to you. 855’ up. We did it during the day but talking to others the night thing adds some views and drama.

I would do this again in a heartbeat! Some people may not find this thrilling but to each his own. I loved it! I did a nighttime jump and the views were great, the fall was controlled but still a thrill at 45 mph & a 17-second fall. I was very happy I was able to keep my glasses on. The safety checks were many. I asked for a little push off the edge but was denied. :) It's all up to you to take that step. Don't ponder or dwell on it, just take the step. I'm not a big fan of heights and hate being on ladders, let alone stepping off a ledge at 855 ft up. This was well worth it and maybe a bit of a confidence builder too. I bought the package with the video camera, and you walk away with a video of your jump on a flash drive, very cool to see it on video later. A friend stood in the viewing area and took a video of my jump on my way down. That was neat to see as well.

Great experience for the brave of heart!! Exciting, thrilling, unique and a lot easier to step off a 855 foot ledge than you may expect. Staff were super professional, checked, double checked and often triple checked all equipment. Check in was easy, outfitted quickly in a jump suit and harness then up you go to the platform. Staff on the platform checked all the equipment again, twice, and talked me through the whole process. Harnessed up to the cables, balanced on the edge and stepped off when told to. Then the drop of a lifetime!! I purchased the web cam package, definitely worth it if you want the full proof to show friends. Landing was super soft ... bring your friends to cheer you on at the bottom!!

"Great Jump"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5
Reviewed September 29, 2022
This was a great part of our adventure in Vegas and I would recommend to anyone to try. I recommend reserving your time online first and then showing up early. This jump is only about 15 seconds long, but the line can take you upwards of an hour to get to your turn. There were a few negatives. The seating while waiting for your turn is ridiculously uncomfortable, just adding a cushion to the bench would be great since you can be sitting there for an hour waiting. Signage for checking in could use tweaking, many people walked right in and immediately went the wrong way. Many of the staff were more interested in chatting with each other than helping and informing customers.

Just to make you aware, call to make sure that they are open. We planned to do it on Sun the 25 of Sept 22 and they were closed. We then booked tickets for 26th and scheduled our day around it and we get there and it was closed, they had no staff. They should have known this the day before or that morning not late afternoon. People are on vacation and not checking emails etc. Or at least offer a discount on a different ride as a courtesy. Very disappointing as I was doing this for my birthday. This is posted so that others don’t get there and it is closed. We paid a cab and ruined our day. Hope your jump experience is wonderful.
