Just when you thought the Las Vegas Strip couldn’t get any more exciting, three zip lines are set to open, the first at the Rio Casino in November 2013. Starting from the patio of ‘The Voodoo Steakhouse’ on the 50th floor of the Masquerade Tower, daredevils can fly along the suspension line to the Ipanema Tower and then return to the starting point. The zip line is just over half a kilometre in total and seventy seconds long and only costs $25 to ride.

A second line is in the works high above Fremont Street. ‘Slotzilla’ will incorporate two lines, both taking off from a 12-metre platform and traveling under the massive Viva Vision screen. The lower line will be 22 metres from the ground; more adventurous fliers can ride the higher line at 34 metres above the crowds. MGM Resort executives state that a third zip line between the Excalibur and Luxor casinos is in its planning stage.
