The Stratosphere Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas has just added a new attraction that is sure to lure all of the daredevils in the crowd. A new ride at the top of the Stratosphere tower offers paying customers a chance to drop 829 feet to a black and blue target below.
The ride is being billed as the world’s highest commercial decelerator descent. Those willing to shell out the cash will stand on a metal platform while being attached to a cable line that will guide the jumper safely to the ground. Those who don’t have their eyes tightly closed will reportedly get a great view of the Vegas Strip during the plunge.
The flight cost is $100 for an opportunity to hit speeds up to 40 mph. Prior to taking the big leap, riders get a safety lesson and don a custom jump suit for the 108-story descent.
Guinness World Records has certified the ride as the highest of its kind.
