Vegas Indoor Skydiving has closed

For decades, Vegas Indoor Skydiving on Convention Center Drive was the go-to spot — the longest-running indoor skydiving attraction in town. That wind tunnel has since closed its doors, so if you’ve seen it on an older list or an out-of-date map pin, that’s why you can’t book it anymore.

iFLY is bringing a brand-new tunnel to AREA15

The good news: iFLY, the national indoor skydiving brand, has announced its first-ever Nevada location as part of the big AREA15 expansion here in Las Vegas. It’s slated to feature the latest vertical wind-tunnel technology, flight-progression programs for everyone from first-timers to experienced flyers, and space for parties and events. As of this update it isn’t open yet and an official opening date hasn’t been confirmed, so I’d check the official iFLY site for the latest before you plan around it.

A vertical wind tunnel, not a plane

Indoor skydiving uses a powerful vertical wind tunnel to push a column of air fast enough to lift you off the ground. That means you get the floating, free-fall sensation of a real skydive without ever leaving the building — no altitude, no parachute, and no jumping out of anything. It’s beginner-friendly and doesn’t require any prior experience, which is exactly why I always loved recommending it to nervous first-timers.

Training first, then you fly

A typical session starts with a short training briefing on body position and the hand signals you’ll use to talk to your instructor inside the tunnel. You gear up in a flight suit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs, then step in and let the air stream lift you. Each flight is usually about a minute long — close to the free-fall time of a real skydive — and most packages give you a couple of turns so you can settle in and actually enjoy it. An instructor stays right there with you the entire time.

Small things that make a big difference

• Relax and trust it. It’s natural to tense up your first time. Breathe, loosen your shoulders, and follow your instructor’s cues — the wind does the work.
• Dress comfortably. Fitted clothing and lace-up shoes are ideal. You’ll wear a flight suit over your clothes, but snug layers keep anything from flapping in the wind.
• Watch your instructor. Tiny adjustments to your chin, hips, and hands change everything about how smoothly you float. Their guidance is gold.

Good to know

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada. The upcoming iFLY tunnel will be part of the AREA15 entertainment district off the Strip; the former Convention Center Drive tunnel has closed.

What to expect: A short training session, gear provided, and roughly minute-long flights with an instructor beside you. No experience needed and it’s built to be beginner-friendly for most ages.

Hours & pricing: These vary and the Vegas tunnel isn’t open for booking yet — always check the official site for the most current details before you plan.
