At heights slightly closer to the ground, Fremont Street Flightlinez offers the opportunity to zip along the entire length of the Fremont Street Experience‘s Viva Vision canopy at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
Four lines run for 800 feet under the canopy’s $70 million dollar video screen of glittering lights, and you’ll be cheered from the ground by the crowds below as you skim over their heads. Opens daily at 12 noon, though we recommend doing it at night for the best neon-fuelled buzz.
#5 Fremont Street Flightlinez
See Glitter Gulch from a whole new vantage point when you soar over downtown Las Vegas on a zip line. Freemont Street Flightlinez originally opened in 2010 as a temporary attraction. A permanent structure, open in spring 2011, extends the ride an additional two blocks to Main Street. It’s a hair-raising but safe experience for people of all ages.
Local charities benefit from Flightlinez on Fremont Street
A dozen local charities have received nearly $150,000 from Flightlinez on Fremont Street in the past year. Each month, Flightlinez, in cooperation with Fremont Street Experience, donates a day’s worth of zipping down the famous neon-studded attraction for a good cause, according to Max Margolis, Flightlinez manager.
“From Opportunity Village to Boys and Girls Clubs, Las Vegas is lucky to have so many organizations dedicated to making our city a better place to live,” Margolis said. “We want to do our part to help them achieve their fund-raising goals.”
Built and operated by Greenheart LLC, a company known internationally for its development of eco-tourism attractions, Flightlinez on Fremont Street has boosted downtown tourism since building its zipline operation in the heart of the city. The company also developed Bootleg Canyon Flightlines in Boulder City, which has delivered the experience of floating over the desert to some 40,000 tourists in the past three years.
If you think Vegas can’t get any more crazy, think again. Coming in at Number 4 – Fremont Street Flightline.
The Fremont Street Experience allows you to breeze right beneath the Viva Vision canopy on a zip line going up to 30 miles per hour! How cool is that?!
Imagine the excitement of leaping from a platform 67 feet high, soaring through the air down 800 feet of cable and reaching speeds up to 30 mph. Jeff Victor, President of Fremont Street Experience says, “it is about making people happy!” We Love It – 360incentives.com at it’s core is about client experience.
I actually think it might be fun just to watch some drunk tourists zipping along at speeds of 30 mph! Maybe you could get your colleagues to try it after a night of enjoying the town!
