Although there are several intense amusement rides and attractions vying for people’s attention in Las Vegas, there’s no competition stiffer than SkyJump at The STRAT Skypod.

No, it wasn’t enough for the country’s largest observation tower to build thrill rides that teased adrenaline junkies off the side of the building. With SkyJump, The STRAT took the experience a step right over the edge.

At 829 feet above the Las Vegas Strip, one can strap themselves into a harness and take a controlled leap off the tower. Once taking the plunge, the descent maxes out at 40 mph, which makes it feel like a gravity-defying bungee jump. Sure, safely descending to the ground may not sound so scary, but it takes some serious guts to make the leap.
