IN VEGAS $148.99 GETS YOU 'ZIP'

When asked: 'How much have you won?' most Vegas visitors - if they're honest - reply 'Zip'. Some have actually dropped a small fortune.


Today 'Zip' could cost you a mere $148.99 without even entering a casino. And for that you could have enjoyed the ride of your life.


Just 30 minutes from LV's strip you could be soaring down from the top of Red Mountain. 





The Bootleg Canyon Zipline Tour is one of the longest in the USA and - arguably - the most scenic with views of Las Vegas, Lake Mead & the Eldorado Valley.


Pick up is at the Excalibur Hotel Casino. A bus takes you up Red Mountain where you have a 15 - 20 minute hike to the 1st 'zip' platform.  


Here - at 3,800 feet - you'll have a bird's eye view of Nevada. 


In a few seconds you'll be flying on the 1st of 4 very long zip lines. Ranging from just slightly more than 1,000 to over 2,500 feet, you'll reach speeds of up to 50 mph.


Whoosh!





The entire journey takes about 4 hours.


Be warned - you have to be under 250 lbs so try to limit your buffet  visits before zipping. And you better leave the sandals at home - only closed toed shoes are allowed.


And, yes, the $148.99 price is only if you book in advance & check out a web site -

- that will give you coupon codes & zip times.


But, before booking, make sure you really are able (& want) to go. If you cancel 6 days before reserved time - you lose 50% of your ticket price. Ouch!


2 days before - or don't show up - and you lose everything. Worse than 'ouch'!


Then you'll really know the meaning of 'zip'.
