VR Adventures – Las Vegas Boulevard:
VR Adventures presents a modern take on traditional zip lining as the attraction plunges visitors into the three-dimensional world of virtual reality. Guests simply have to put on cutting edge virtual reality goggles and they are immediately transported to the most electrifying thrill rides imaginable. One of VR Adventure’s most popular attractions is the Free Fall Zip Line.
Riders virtually enter an elevator which takes them to a great height, once guests reach the top of the elevator they must climb higher using a ladder to reach the zip line. From there, guests zip over the Caesars Palace pool to yet another elevator that transports them higher again.
Once at the very top, thrill-seekers must make the decision whether to virtually jump from the tower into free-fall, or use an even faster zip line to reach the ground.
This attraction located on the south end of Las Vegas Boulevard is a good alternative option for those who are unable to embark on a real zip line journey or those who seek smaller thrills. Prices for VR Adventures are based on individual attractions and the online fee for the Free Fall Zip Line is $20.
