Fly LINQ Zipline

The basics

Start by ascending the 122-foot (37-meter) launch tower via elevator. You’ll choose to be in a seated position (or superhero-style) and feel the wind in your hair at 35 mph (56 kph) as you soar over Las Vegas Boulevard and down the LINQ Promenade with a landing at the High Roller observation wheel. Prebook your tickets, as the ride can sell out. Afterward, wander around LINQ Promenade to explore its entertainment and dining options.

Things to know before you go

• The weight and height restrictions for the ride are 60-300 pounds (27-136 kilograms) and 40 inches to 80 inches (101 centimeters to 201 centimeters).

• Riders 12 years of age and under must be accompanied by a ticketed rider 13 years of age and over.

• Wear comfy sneakers or lace-up shoes instead of flip-flops or sandals to keep your footwear secure.

How to get there

The LINQ Hotel and Casino is located in the center of the Las Vegas Strip, north of Flamingo Road and across the street from the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. You can reach the hotel via the Deuce bus line, take the Las Vegas Monorail to the Harrah’s/LINQ station, or walk along the Strip.

When to get there

Fly LINQ Zipline is open from mid-afternoon to late night, while the Promenade’s eateries and shops have varying hours. The last admission is 30 minutes before closing time. If you prefer to ride at night, plan to arrive at least 1 hour before closing. To avoid crowds, visit on weekdays when the ride opens in the afternoon.

High Roller Observation Wheel

Also located at the LINQ, this 550-foot (168-meter) rotating observation tower features glass-enclosed pods with music and video displays and thousands of LED lights from which you can catch views of Las Vegas during a 30-minute rotation. You can book a regular day or evening ride or reserve a happy hour ride in a cabin outfitted with a bar and bartender.
