SkyJump at The STRAT

SkyJump at The STRAT is a controlled freefall experience from the tower of The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower at 2000 Las Vegas Blvd S, on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Jumpers step off an outdoor platform at about 855 ft and descend roughly 829 ft on a decelerator wire at speeds near 40 mph, landing on a target at the base of the tower. The jump itself lasts under a minute, and the full visit takes about 1-2 hours including check-in, suit-up and briefing. The activity is rated easy because it needs no technical skill or athletic ability; it does require the nerve to step off a high platform, and participants must meet the operator's minimum age, health and weight limits, which should be checked before booking. A jumpsuit and harness are supplied, and jumpers wear closed shoes. Loose items are usually stored in lockers before the jump. The experience is run by The STRAT (thestrat.com), which uses trained jump staff who fit the harness, run the briefing and operate the wire system. The briefing covers body position, how to step off the platform and how to land, and staff attach and check the cable and harness at the platform. If a jump cannot be completed because of equipment or medical concerns, on-site staff and the hotel's emergency procedures apply. The attraction operates year-round but closes in high winds, so gusty days and storms are the main conditions to avoid, and operating hours can shift around weather. Evening jumps provide a view of the Strip lights, while daytime jumps give clearer views toward the surrounding mountains. Pricing is about $149.99 Monday-Thursday and $169.99 Friday-Sunday, with a reduced price of about $99.99 for STRAT hotel guests and Nevada residents. Photo and video packages are typically sold separately, and personal cameras are generally not carried during the jump.
