Most ziplines take their riders through nature—flying through the treetops or past 360 degree views of mountains, canyons, or other gorgeous scenery. But for a complete 180, the SlotZilla Zip Line offers a very different experience: ziplining over the famous Las Vegas skyline. Riders will see all the bright lights, big crowds, and opulent finery of Vegas, but from a completely different vantage point. Guests can choose to ride a seated zipline or “Zoomline,” in which they’ll soar belly down like a superhero, and they’ll launch from an 11 story high slot machine to fly over Vegas for an unforgettable adventure.
