ROLLER COASTERS
AND OTHER EXCITING RIDES
There are 2 roller coasters on the Strip. They range from average (indoors at the Circus Circus Adventure Dome), to long (outdoors at New York New York) .
New York, NY (south end of the Strip)
The is a fairly long open roller coster ride. Best done at night so you can’t see the tracks too well. Great view of the lights at the south end of the Strip.
The Roller Coaster will lift you up 203 feet, drop you down 144 feet and leave your pulse trying to catch up to 67 mph. Simulating a jet fighter's barrel roll, you'll turn 180 degrees, hang 86 feet in the air, take the famous "heartline" twist and dive, and get your negative g's on! Ah, what a rush.
Cost: $10 per ride

Circus Circus (Adventure Dome)
This is a typical, indoor amusement park roller coaster. You can’t miss the huge hot pink dome. Good for those who still want to ride a roller coaster, but might be too afraid of the others that Vegas offers. Lots of other amusement park stuff to do also. Great place to bring the kids. Don’t have to worry about the extreme heat or sunscreen.

The Big Shot Ride at The Stratosphere
This is one of the most interesting rides in LV. It is located at the top of the Stratosphere Hotel space tower. It is a ride where you sit in a chair with 4 other people and accelerated upward at 1 G for about 4.5 seconds. You subsequently become weight less for about 4.5 seconds. This is longer than any weightless ride, other than the “Vomit Comet” where astronauts train. It is just long enough for you to both sense weightlessness and do a little hand waving while weightless. It is over in about 10 seconds, but it is an experience you will not forget.
Pole Position Go Kart Racing
There is an indoor go kart track and arcade at 4175 South Arville This would be a great group activity.
