If you’ve got a pulse, these Las Vegas adventures can double it! And we’re not even talking about casinos! From racing through the Valley of Fire to ripping through the sky at over 200 miles an hour… Sin City is made for adrenaline junkies! Want to feel what it’s like to ride with Seal Team Six? Vegas has you covered! Want to drive a tank over a car? Yeah, you can do that, too! This Week in Gambling, we’re looking at three of the most extreme!
Let’s get started with our list of Las Vegas adventures with Sun Buggy, located less than 20 minutes from Las Vegas Boulevard. You take the wheel of a custom built dune buggy for a mini Baja adventure. This is not some slow moving follow the leader sightseeing trail. Oh no, this is a full throttle experience across the rugged terrain of the Nevada desert for what Rolling Stone called Sin City’s best near death experience! They also offer nighttime adventures with views of the strip in the distance. Sun Buggy has a variety of desert racers to choose from, and they offer custom event and group packages along with free resort shuttle service.
But if racing across the desert doesn’t get your motor running, then maybe you need to try our next adrenaline rush at Battlefield Las Vegas… a 5 acre complex just one block off the north end of the strip behind Circus Circus. Guests can fire rifles from World War I all the way up to modern fully automatic machine guns. They have indoor adventure packages, like the Seal Team Six Experience, and outdoor adventures with armored vehicles. Battlefield Vegas has over 1,000 weapon systems, and you can even crush a car with a tank for a price, of course. Plus, they will pick you up at your hotel in a real military Humvee!
However, if using combat equipment to run over a ’94 Buick Lasaber still isn’t quite enough for you, maybe pulling 10 G’s at over 200 miles an hour is a bit more your… speed? So, if you’re up to it, why not take one of your next Las Vegas adventures to new heights? And I mean up to 8,000 ft in new heights when you visit Sky Combat Ace! Founded by an F-16 fighter pilot, you will climb into the world’s most advanced stunt plane for loops, rolls, and zero G dives at speeds up to 220 miles an hour! Still not enough? Try their air-to-air dog fight against your friends and family members!
And the best part? You don’t have to be a pilot or have any flight experience at all because a certified fighter pilot is strapped into the seat right behind you, guiding your every maneuver! Sky Combat Ace is just 20 minutes from the Vegas Strip and has round trip shuttle service from most hotels. It’s definitely on my bucket list. I’ll just have to skip breakfast that morning… and take six or seven Dramamine before I go!
