Love a thrill? Here’s where to go ziplining in Nevada

Soar to new heights and check out one of these spots to go ziplining in Nevada.

Nevada is home to several zipline adventures that boast breathtaking views and varying thrill levels. Whether you want to soar 1,000 feet above the Las Vegas Strip or prefer a ride that keeps you indoors and closer to ground level, there is a zipline experience for every type of adventurer in Nevada.

1. SlotZilla

SlotZilla is a slot machine-inspired zipline attraction that gives thrill seekers an aerial view of downtown Las Vegas and has attracted famous celebrities, including Katy Perry. There are two different ways to fly: Zip-Zilla offers a traditional zipline experience, and Super-Hero Zoom riders soar through the sky in a prone position, much like a superhero in flight.

Zip-Zilla launches from a 77-foot platform and brings riders to the Fremont Street Experience pedestrian promenade. Super-Hero Zoom’s platform sits 114 feet up in the air, and riders travel 1,750 feet at speeds up to 35 miles per hour to the historic Golden Gate Hotel & Casino.

“This was one of the most fun things I’ve done while in [Las] Vegas,” one zipliner wrote on Yelp.

Price: Zip-Zilla tickets start at $49, and Super-Hero Zoom tickets start at $69.

Address: 425 Fremont St. #160, Las Vegas

2. Haley’s Comet

Haley’s Comet is an indoor ziplining experience located inside AREA15, an entertainment venue with a slew of other attractions, including axe throwing, a laser maze, and tons of virtual reality games and experiences. Haley’s Comet takes riders through the center of AREA15, and if you have a competitive side, you can race other riders.

Because Haley’s Comet is located indoors and not as high up as some other ziplining experiences mentioned throughout this post, it’s an excellent option for those who have never ziplined or want to work their way up to a more thrilling ride. You also have the ability to control your speed, which some riders may find comforting.

If you want to relive your experience or share it with friends, you can purchase the Haley’s Cam add-on, which includes video footage and photos of your ride.

Price: Adult tickets start at $20. The Haley’s Cam add-on costs $10. Discounts are available for seniors, local residents, and military service members.

3. Fly LINQ 

Fly LINQ—the Las Vegas Strip’s only zipline—launches riders from a tower that’s 12 stories high. You’ll soar more than 1,100 feet—starting at Las Vegas Boulevard and heading down The LINQ Promenade before landing near the High Roller Ferris wheel—and reach a speed of 35 miles per hour.

“Great experience, friendly staff, and beautiful scenery! Ended up going twice,” a reviewer shared on Yelp.

Price: Tickets start at $49. Discounts are available for seniors and military service members.

Address: The LINQ, 3535 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas

4. Skyjump

Skyjump technically isn’t a zipline—it’s more of a free fall—but we couldn’t resist including this heart-pounding attraction in our roundup. On its website, Skyjump is described as a “controlled descent, similar to a vertical zipline.” The launch pad is on the 108th floor of The STRAT Hotel, and you’ll plunge 855 feet.

The STRAT Hotel is also home to an observation deck—the tallest observation tower in the U.S., according to its website—and other rides, including Big Shot, which shoots riders 160 feet into the air, and X-Scream, an 866-foot-high roller coaster.

“If you are looking for something fun to do in Vegas, you HAVE to try this,” a Yelp reviewer wrote.

Price: Tickets start at $149.99 for weekday jumps and 169.99 on Friday and Saturday. Discounts are available for The STRAT Hotel guests and local residents.

5. Spy Ninjas HQ

Spy Ninjas HQ has the longest indoor zipline in Las Vegas, according to its website. The ride spans 115 linear feet and offers riders a birds-eye view of the indoor adventure park. After your ride, there are plenty of other activities and attractions to try, including a multi-level ropes course, axe throwing, a trampoline zone, and a rage room.

“So much to do here for all ages! The food was great at the cafe with a lot to choose from. The agility course, zipline, and trampolines were our favorites,” a customer wrote on Yelp.

Price: A one-hour Action Pass costs $24.95 and includes access to the zipline, trampoline zone, ropes course, and more.

6. Sky Rider

Urban Air Adventure Park offers a zipline attraction that’s suitable for thrill seekers of all ages. Sky Rider is a zipline-like experience that takes riders on a tour of Urban Air Adventure Park, an indoor adventure park. As you’re soaring through the park, you can catch a glimpse of other attractions, including a ropes course, rock climbing walls, trampoline zone, battle beam, and an obstacle course.

Price: To ride the zipline, you need to purchase the Ultimate Attractions pass for $25.99. This pass grants you access to Urban Air Adventure Park’s other attractions, too. Discounts are available for parents accompanying children and kids shorter than 40 inches.

Address: 2210 Harvard Way, Reno

Bonus: Grand Canyon West Zipline

The Grand Canyon West Zipline isn’t located in Nevada, but it’s just a two-hour drive from Las Vegas and is totally worth the trip. While soaring down 3,200 feet of zipline 500 feet above the canyon, riders reach speeds up to 40 miles per hour. With multiple lines available, you can race friends or family members or go solo and soak in impressive views of the terrain. As Condé Nast Traveler pointed out, ziplining across the canyon is an excellent alternative for those who are averse to hiking and want to see the natural landmark from another vantage point.

While at Grand Canyon West, you may also want to check out the Skywalk, a cantilever glass bridge that extends 70 feet out over the rim of the Grand Canyon. From the Skywalk, you can gaze down 4,000 feet to the canyon floor.

Price: Zipline tickets start at $45, but you must first purchase a general admission ticket (starting at $51).

Address: Grand Canyon West, Mohave County, Arizona
