Here are 10 crazy adventures to add to your Vegas bucket list.

Take the ultimate leap of faith from 829 feet above the Strip. The SkyJump at The STRAT is the highest commercial decelerator descent in the world, giving you a controlled free-fall that’s part skydiving, part bungee jump—and all heart-racing thrill.
While you’re at The STRAT, don’t miss the Big Shot, which blasts you 160 feet into the air at 45 mph, or the X-Scream—a teetering coaster that hurls you over the tower’s edge, 900 feet above ground. Vertigo not included.
Crank up the dust with an off-road adventure across the Mojave Desert. From high-speed dune buggies to rugged ATVs, guided tours take you through sand dunes, dry lakebeds, and rocky terrain just outside the city.
Get behind the wheel of a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche and test your limits on a real race track. Speed Vegas offers packages that put you in control of some of the world’s fastest cars, with pro instructors riding shotgun.
This extreme adventure park lives up to its name. Shoot machine guns, crush cars with a monster truck, throw axes, drive a tank—or combine them all for the ultimate day of action-packed chaos.
Fly Superman-style above the Fremont Street. Choose from the standard 7-story zip or the 11-story Zoomline for a high-speed thrill ride over flashing lights, live music, and packed crowds.
Buckle into this motion-ride experience that lifts and tilts you in front of a massive spherical screen. You’ll glide over landmarks like the Grand Canyon, Zion, and the Vegas skyline.
Just a short drive from the Strip, Red Rock Canyon offers world-class rock climbing with surreal scenery. If you’re a beginner, certified guides can get you on the ropes and into the wild.
Seeing Las Vegas from the air is an entirely different level of wow. Take a helicopter ride at sunset or nighttime and watch the Strip light up beneath you—from the Bellagio fountains to the Luxor beam.
Dig This is a giant adult sandbox where you can operate real construction equipment in a safe, guided environment. It’s part therapy, part power trip, and 100% Vegas.
From sky-high stunts to desert madness, Las Vegas proves that what happens here is more than unforgettable—it’s unbelievable. So if you’re looking for more than cocktails and casinos, turn up the adrenaline and let your wild side lead the way.
