Vegas on the Edge
Start your summer day off at one of the hottest parties in town at the Ghostbar at the Palms. Frequented by celebrities, Ghostbar is always hopping. Take an elevator up 55 floors for a 360-degree view of the Strip and look down through the glass inserts in the floor for a captivating view below.
You think you're big time? Prove it. Anyone over a certain height can ride a roller coaster. But it takes a real man (or woman) to swim with the sharks in the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. There are no cages - just you; 1.3 million gallons of underwater real estate; and more than 30 sharks, including sand tiger, sandbar and whitetip reef sharks.
So, you can swim with the fishes. Can you fly like an eagle? The new Fremont Street Flightlinez wants to know. They're hooking people up to harnesses and sending them down a zip line that cruises right over the crowds on Fremont Street and under the giant video canopy. For some zip lining with a little less neon, head out to Boulder City for Bootleg Canyon Flightlinez.
And just because you're tall enough to ride a coaster doesn't mean you can handle just any roller coaster. Head down to Buffalo Bill's in Primm and see how you hold up against the Desperado's Turbo Drop, a 255-foot nosedive that highlights one of the world's tallest and fastest scream machines. Or twist, loop and dive around New York City with the Coney Island-style coaster at New York-New York.
But if tales about you usually begin with, "Did you hear what crazy ________ did this time," you'll want to go even higher. The SkyJump at the Stratosphere is happy to oblige. At 108 stories, it's the highest controlled free fall in the world.
It really is the best way to see the city - hurtling toward earth at a ridiculous speed. Now that you've defied gravity and challenged your better judgment, why should your mouth get off the hook?
Are you up for the food challenge of your life? Try the eight-pound burger challenge at The Pub inside the Monte Carlo Resort. Finish The Pub Challenge in 30 minutes and it's free - and you get a free T-shirt (XL might be needed)! Piled high with vegetables and topped off with a giant bun, it won't be easy to finish, but if you do, your name will go down in the Monte Carlo history books forever!
