The thrill of Vegas

If you’re looking for some excitement when you visit Las Vegas, then you won’t be short of exciting attractions that will give you all the kinds of adventures you’re looking for. Some of the best adventure rides in Las Vegas include:

At the Stratosphere Hotel, you can ride the Big Shot, which launches you a hundred and sixty feet in two and a half seconds at a speed of forty-five miles per hour. The ride gives you the feeling of weightlessness on your way down and four times the force of gravity on your way up.

Or if you prefer the real thing, then you can go to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and with an hour’s instruction find yourself behind the wheel or driving a six hundred horsepower race car for six laps.

The Stratosphere Hotel also offers a ride called Insanity. The ride extends sixty-four feet over the edge of the hotel as it turns and you find yourself pulling up to three times the force of gravity and sitting at a seventy-degree angle with the Las Vegas Strip directly below you at nine hundred feet. .

In the Sahara, you can ride a roller coaster simply called Speed. This ride takes you through a twenty-five-foot underground tunnel, then through a seventy-two-foot-high loop, and then up and down a two-hundred-and-twenty-four-foot tower, all in just forty-five seconds.
