Las Vegas Balloon Rides, Las Vegas

When you're smack dab in the middle of the glamorous Vegas Strip, it can be easy to forget how breathtaking the surrounding land is. That fact is hard to deny, however, when you're hovering thousands of feet above the city in a hot-air balloon.

Every day of the year, Hot Air Balloons Las Vegas charters excursions through the southwest portion of the city, introducing passengers to bird's-eye views of Red Rock, Lake Mead, and, yes, the Strip. Sunrise and regular rides reach up to 1,500 feet, while the extended high-altitude flights soar up to 4,000. Passengers should feel comfortable taking either, as LVBR's pilots have a perfect safety record. After the trip, guests are treated to a champagne toast, breakfast, and a high-res photo of their adventure. Or just their shoes, if they prefer.
