FLY LINQ Zip Line at the LINQ Promenade
Possibly the coolest way to see the Strip, Fly LINQ lets you soar 1,121 feet across The LINQ Promenade at speeds up to 35 mph.
Ten side-by-side ziplines launch riders from a 114-foot-tall (that’s 12 stories) tower – simultaneously if you want to ride with a group of friends. You can choose to ride in a seated position or as a superhero. Want to make it an extra thrill ride? Fly backward.
