SlotZilla Zip Line on Fremont Street

SlotZilla is a two-level zip line running the length of the Fremont Street Experience canopy in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, about 4 miles (6.5 km) north of the mid-Strip. The launch tower, built as a 12-story slot machine at 425 Fremont St, sends riders over the pedestrian mall and its crowds, street performers and the overhead video canopy. The lower Zipline is the standard ride, while the upper Zoomline launches from a higher point and lets riders fly in a superhero, face-down position. The ride itself lasts under a minute, but visitors should allow 30-60 minutes for queues, check-in and harnessing. The activity is rated easy: no fitness or skill is required, and participants simply need to meet the operator's age, height and weight limits, which should be confirmed before booking. A harness is supplied and lockers are available for loose items, so riders do not carry phones or bags on the line. The operator is the Fremont Street Experience (vegasexperience.com), and trained crew members fit and check each harness, brief riders on body position and handle the launch and braking at the end of the line. The attraction is managed as a fixed installation with on-site staff, and in an emergency the crew and downtown emergency services respond from the street. SlotZilla operates year-round from afternoons to late evening, and evenings from October to April offer pleasant temperatures and the full light show on the canopy. Summer afternoons are hot, and high winds or storms can pause operations. Prices are about $49 for the Zipline and about $69 for the Zoomline, with taxes and photo or video media extra. Personal cameras are generally not allowed on the line, so the operator's media package is the way to capture the ride.
