Sin City has a lot more to offer—if adventure’s what you’re after. Because when it comes to fun things to do in Las Vegas, the city’s guaranteed to deliver adrenaline-pumping experiences aplenty targeted towards anyone who openly identifies as a bonafide thrill-seeker. If you are willing to break out of your comfort zone and ratchet up your visit to Las Vegas, here are a few sky-high attractions you won’t want to miss.
 

Helicopter Rides Over the Strip

Few experiences can offer a look at Las Vegas quite like soaring high above the city. A Las Vegas Helicopter tour of The Strip at night offers a fresh take on the iconic neon lights. As you fly high above the Eiffel Tower and intersecting fountains of the Bellagio, the expanse of the glowing city below will look all the more out of this world.

It’s the kind of sight that seems plucked straight out of a Hollywood movie—floating weightless in the night air, the breathtaking sweep of LV lights beneath you, experiencing the sights from an angle that only a small portion of visitors actually access.
 

Scenic Desert Helicopter Tours

If you’re more of a nature lover than a shopper or gambler, you’ll be glad to know that beyond the bright lights of this city are absolutely stunning helicopter tours of the surrounding desert. The most famous is the Grand Canyon tour, which will drop you right in the canyon for the most epic picnic ever.

A more chill but equally awe-inspiring ride will have you soaring over Red Rock Canyon or Hoover Dam. The beauty of any desert copter tour is that it’s a surprising mix of natural beauty and thrill — you get to see quiet, awe-inspiring deserts carved out near the buzzing city of Las Vegas. A great reminder of how sprawling and serene this city is, just minutes away from the loud, neon party.
 

Skydiving Over Las Vegas

For the ultimate thrill, go skydiving in Las Vegas. Picture jumping straight out of a plane from thousands of feet above the desert — plunging tens of thousands of feet per minute before gliding down with a chute. Now pair THAT rush with the sight of the desert’s vastness and the faint skyline of far-away Las Vegas. Yeah. It can’t get any more high of a high than that.

Even if you’re a first-timer, you can tandem jump while attached to a professional. It’s the kind of adventure that leaves you talking fast and loud after the landing zone returns to solid ground.
 

Race a Lamborghini on the Las Vegas Speedway

Not a fan of heights? What about speed? Taking control of one of the world’s most expensive sports cars and flying around (and maybe off!) the asphalt is an experience like no other. Pounding the pavement lets you see first-hand the power of a Lamborghini, all while experiencing G’s as you take each and every curve.

This isn’t merely a ride on how fast a car can go, but an entity of an experience as you drive this car coaster around the track.

So the next time you’re in Vegas, trade in your poker chips and slot machines for an adventure that will raise your trip to new heights, sometimes quite literally. After all, sometimes the feeling of Vegas is better seen from above. However, you’ll just have to be the judge of that.
