Three zip lines still fly in this city and a fourth one closed in 2022 that people are still buying tickets for. On the Strip: FLY LINQ, 1,121 feet from a 114-foot tower, thirty-five miles an hour, over in forty-five seconds, $40. Downtown: SlotZilla’s two lines over Fremont Street. At the Rio: VooDoo, shut since July 2022. Here are the real numbers for all of them, and eleven other ways to buy height here.

Every way to buy height in Vegas
Twelve things you can book online in Las Vegas, from a $20 turn on the High Roller to a $314 day in the desert, with the zipline in the middle at $40. They split three ways. Cheap and fast on the Strip: the zipline, the wheel, the coaster, the viewing decks. Serious height: the SkyJump off the STRAT, the helicopter, the skydive. And the desert runs, which take the whole day and leave the neon behind entirely.

Two questions
Seen the twelve above and still torn? They are not versions of each other. The zip line is forty-five seconds of movement. The wheel is half an hour of standing still with a better view. The SkyJump is a genuine step off a building. The desert runs take the whole day. Pick what matters and we will point at one.
See it before you pay for it
The clips below are the ride itself, not a promo reel. An elevator takes you up the 114-foot launch tower, you are fitted with gear on the deck, and then ten lines fire at once — everybody seated, everybody facing forward, nobody waiting their turn. The 1,121 feet to the landing tower take thirty-five to forty-five seconds at about thirty-five miles an hour, and you step off at the base of the High Roller. That is the honest shape of it, and it is the whole argument on this page.
Side by side
Forty dollars buys forty-five seconds on the zip line, twenty buys half an hour in a glass cabin on the High Roller, and a hundred and thirty-six buys the walk to the edge of the STRAT and the step off it. They are not the same purchase and the per-minute maths is brutal for exactly one of them. This is the comparison people actually need.

Verdict
The wheel is the better purchase by every measure except one. Half an hour against forty-five seconds, twenty dollars against forty, and a view that holds still long enough to photograph. What it cannot do is move you. The extra $20 buys the only forty-five seconds on the Strip where you are travelling over it rather than looking at it.
Check dates and availability→Before you book
You land on a tower, not on the ground. The landing platform sits 54 feet up at the eastern end of the promenade, at the base of the High Roller, and a staircase brings you down into the crowd. Nothing about the ride touches the Strip itself — the whole thing happens above the roofline of the bars.
Two-minute check
FLY LINQ has no age limit at all. It has a weight limit and a height limit, and those are the two things that turn people away at the gate. Answer three questions and find out now instead.
Who is riding?Ten lines fire at once, so groups go together
What do you weigh?The published range is 60 to 300 pounds
How long do you want it to last?The zip line is over in under a minute
You'll get a straight yes or no, the ride that fits your evening, and the specific thing that would stop you at the tower.
Six ways to see it

Read all 11,506→FLY LINQ Zipline
From $40 · 723 reviews
★★★★☆
Ten lines side by side from a 114-foot tower, 1,121 feet over The LINQ Promenade at about thirty-five miles an hour, seated and facing forward. Thirty-five to forty-five seconds of flight and you land at the foot of the High Roller.
SlotZilla Zoomline, downtown
$49 at the counter · 1,750 feet
★★★★★
Eleven stories above Fremont Street, face down and head up, 1,750 feet under the canopy. It is the ride most people mean when they say they ziplined in Vegas, and it is not sold here — you buy it downtown, from the Fremont Street Experience.
SlotZilla Zipline, downtown
$29 at the counter · 850 feet
★★★★☆
The lower of the two SlotZilla lines: 77 feet up, seated, 850 feet along Fremont Street. Five dollars less if you fly before five in the afternoon. Weight range starts at 50 pounds, ten below FLY LINQ, which matters if you are travelling with a small child.
Grand Canyon Helicopter Landing
From $460 · 1,751 reviews
★★★★★
A helicopter that does not fly over the Grand Canyon but lands in it, rated 4.8 across 1,751 reviews. Four and a half hours door to door from your Las Vegas hotel, and the opposite of the zip line in every way that matters.
STRAT SkyJump
From $136 · 829 feet
★★★★★
A controlled jump from 829 feet off the STRAT, straight down rather than along. Rated 4.7. This is the one people are actually frightened of, and the one they talk about afterwards.
VooDoo Zip Line at the Rio
Closed permanently · July 2022
★☆☆☆☆
The line between the Rio towers shut for good in July 2022 and has not reopened. Listings and blog posts still describe it as if you can ride it. You cannot, and nobody will refund you a ticket bought from a reseller.
What it really costs
FLY LINQ publishes one price and charges it at the kiosk on the promenade, on the booking platforms and through your hotel concierge. What changes is whether the slot you want is still there on a Friday night, and whether you paid for a photo package you did not need.
Swipe sideways →
| Where you book | Price | Risk | Cancellation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online in advance | $20–$314 | None — your slot is held | Free up to 24 hours on most |
| At the kiosk on the promenade | Same price, no discount | Only what is unsold that hour | Desk policy, usually stricter |
| Through the hotel concierge | Same price, sometimes a fee | Depends who they call | Whatever the desk decides |
The honest answer
Forty dollars for forty-five seconds works out at about fifty-three dollars a minute, the worst rate on this entire page, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What you are buying is a view down the middle of The LINQ Promenade that nobody standing on it can have, and the only moment on the Strip where you move over it under your own weight. Whether that is worth it depends on what else that hour was going to hold.
The ride, minute by minute
The kiosk sells the same price as the internet. What booking ahead buys you is a slot at the hour you want on a Friday, not a discount.
Ground level at The LINQ Promenade, opposite the High Roller. Voucher on your phone is enough; you will be weighed if there is any doubt.
A glass lift up the 114-foot launch tower with the Strip opening up behind you. This is the part nobody films and it is the best view of the ride.
Harness fitted on the launch deck, a staged photo taken whether you want it or not, and the sales pitch for it afterwards.
All ten decks are checked, then everyone launches at once. Seated, facing forward, feet up.
Thirty-five miles an hour down the middle of the promenade, ending at the landing tower 54 feet up at the base of the High Roller.
Gear off, photo counter, and you are on the promenade again. The wheel is a two-minute walk if you want to go straight up it.
Best time of day
In full daylight the promenade below you is a shopping street and the neon does nothing. At two in the morning it is lit but the sky behind the wheel is black and the photographs are noise. The half hour after sunset is the one window where both work: the signs are on, the sky still has colour in it, and the exposure holds both. It is also the hour everyone else has the same idea, so book the slot rather than queue for it. In July and August it is the first hour of the day the deck is bearable.
On the line
Ten lines fire at once, so a group of four crosses the promenade together rather than one at a time.
A hundred and fourteen feet up, open on all sides. The gear fitting and the photo happen here.
The line runs east down the promenade and the landing tower sits at the base of the High Roller.
The promenade turns on at sunset. The last hour of daylight is the best light of the day for photographs.
What it's like
The part nobody tells you is that the best view of the ride happens before it starts. The elevator up the launch tower is glass on one side, and as it climbs the hundred and fourteen feet the Strip unfolds behind you — Caesars, the Flamingo sign, the wheel filling the window. Nobody films that bit.
The launch deck is smaller than it looks from the ground and completely open. Ten seats in a row, ten lines running away east down the middle of The LINQ Promenade, and below you the crowd walking between the bars with no idea anyone is up there.
The gear takes a couple of minutes. A harness, a helmet, a hard tug on the straps from someone who has done it four hundred times today, then a staged photograph you did not ask for and will be offered at the bottom for more than you want to pay.
Then the wait, which is the honest bit. Ten decks have to be clear before any line fires, so you sit in the harness with your feet off the edge listening to the ride control system say no to somebody. It is thirty seconds and it feels like three minutes.
The launch is not a drop. There is no stomach lurch because you are seated and facing forward and the line takes your weight gradually. What you get instead is speed — thirty-five miles an hour arrives fast when the ground is fifty feet under your shoes.
And then it is the promenade going past underneath at roof height: the neon, the string lights over the walkway, faces turning up, and the High Roller getting steadily, alarmingly larger because the line points directly at it.
Thirty-five to forty-five seconds later you are at the landing tower, fifty-four feet up, and someone is unclipping you. The whole thing from elevator to pavement is under half an hour. The flight itself is shorter than the song playing in the bar below you.
While you're on the promenade
The zip line is forty-five seconds and the evening is four hours long. These three are what end up in the same basket — two of them are a two-minute walk from the landing tower and the third is what people do when the afternoon is too hot to be outside.
Practical
Five things decide how it goes: the hour you pick, the weather, what you are carrying, what you are wearing, and whether anyone in your group is over the weight limit.
The published range. It is checked at the tower and there is no arguing with it.
Both ends matter. Tall riders get turned away as often as short ones.
Caesars publishes none. If a six-year-old makes the height and weight, they ride.
A ticketed rider of thirteen or over has to fly with them.
SlotZilla’s lower line takes lighter riders than FLY LINQ does.
Phones, hats and bags go in a locker. There is no pocket you can trust at 35 mph.
Well into the night, which is when the promenade is worth seeing.
Neon on, sky still blue, and the photographs actually work.
Book a slot rather than turning up and joining the back of it.
The deck is metal and unshaded and it is over 40°C out there.
Not often, but it happens, and they will not tell you in advance.
Twenty minutes of queue, ten of gear, forty-five seconds of flight, and the photo counter.
Nobody is discounting this. Booking ahead buys a slot, not a saving.
Standard through the platform, stricter at the counter.
Individually or as a group, on the deck and again at the bottom.
From about three attractions up, the Explorer Pass works out cheaper.
Downtown tickets come from the Fremont Street Experience, not from this page.
Closed July 2022. Anything selling you a ticket for it is selling you nothing.
The LINQ Promenade, between The LINQ and the Flamingo.
Walk toward the High Roller and the tower is at the far end.
Two minutes on foot from the station to the promenade.
Self-parking on that stretch costs more than the ticket by the time you leave.
SlotZilla is on Fremont Street, a short ride or a long walk north.
Zip line, wheel and dinner on the promenade fit comfortably in three hours.
Best time
The zipline runs all year and the desert decides how pleasant that is. What changes is the heat, the wind and how long you stand in the queue.
Mar – May
Warm days, cool evenings, low wind. The most comfortable time to stand on a metal deck twelve stories up, and the reason spring weekends sell out first.
Oct – Nov
The heat breaks, the crowds thin after summer, and the light at dusk over the promenade is the best of the year for photographs.
Dec – Feb
Shortest queues of the year. Nights drop close to freezing and the deck is exposed, so this is the season to ride in the afternoon rather than after dark.
Jun – Sep
Well over 40°C in the afternoon and the deck has no shade worth the name. Ride after dark or do not ride. High wind can pause the line without warning.
Worth knowing
The weight range is 60 to 300 pounds and the height range is 3ft 4in to 6ft 8in. Both ends are enforced at the tower. Being too tall turns people away as often as being too heavy.
There is no age limit. Caesars publishes none — if a child makes the height and weight they can ride, though under-13s must fly with a ticketed adult.
You ride seated and facing forward. The face-down superhero position people describe is SlotZilla’s Zoomline downtown, not this line.
The VooDoo Zip Line at the Rio closed permanently in July 2022. Pages selling it are out of date and resellers will not refund you.
Ten lines fire together. If four of you book the same slot you cross the promenade side by side, which is the whole reason to do it as a group.
The photos are a separate sale, taken on the deck before you fly and pitched again at the bottom. Decide before you are standing at the counter.

Common questions
FLY LINQ on the Strip is $40 online, the same price as at the kiosk. Downtown, SlotZilla charges $29 for the lower seated Zipline and $49 for the upper Zoomline, with $5 off either one before five in the afternoon.
Each of the ten lines is 1,121 feet long. You launch from a 114-foot tower, average about thirty-five miles an hour, and land 54 feet up at the base of the High Roller. Caesars puts the actual flight time at thirty-five to forty-five seconds.
FLY LINQ takes riders from 60 to 300 pounds and from 3ft 4in to 6ft 8in tall. SlotZilla’s lower Zipline starts at 50 pounds and the upper Zoomline at 80, both to a 300-pound maximum.
Not on FLY LINQ. Caesars publishes no age limit at all — the height and weight ranges are the only test. Riders aged twelve and under have to fly with a ticketed rider of thirteen or over.
No. It closed permanently in July 2022 and has not reopened. Pages and listings still describe it as running; they are out of date.
Not on FLY LINQ — all ten lines launch riders seated and facing forward. The face-down "superhero" position is SlotZilla’s upper Zoomline, downtown on Fremont Street.
For the Strip, the neon and a group flying side by side, FLY LINQ. For length, speed and the face-down position, SlotZilla’s Zoomline at 1,750 feet. They are fifteen minutes apart and cost within twenty dollars of each other.

One PDF with the order to do things in, which evening to hold for the promenade, and what to do with the afternoon when it is 44°C outside. Built from the same sources as this page.
The plan is on its way. If it isn't there in a minute, look in Promotions.
Why trust this page
The zip line numbers come from the Caesars Entertainment fact sheet; the SlotZilla numbers from the Fremont Street Experience. Prices and ratings are read off the live listings.
We list every zip line running in this city, including the two we cannot sell you, and we say which is which. Nobody pays to be featured.
This page exists to answer one question: which line to ride, and whether it is worth the money. If a section did not help with that, we cut it.
The VooDoo Zip Line shut in July 2022. We say so on every page it belongs on rather than quietly leaving it in the list.
The answer
At $40 it is the worst value per minute on this page and the only one of its kind in the city. Ten lines, 1,121 feet, thirty-five miles an hour, and a landing at the foot of the wheel you were walking to anyway. Book the slot after sunset and it is the best forty dollars of the evening.
