Vegas isn’t just about the slots anymore — it’s about testing your limits. Whether you crave a shot of adrenaline, a hit of danger, or a taste of the forbidden, this city delivers. From mild to wild, here’s your guide to the most heart-pounding, pulse-racing, maybe-even-blushing adventures Sin City has to offer — ranked from “oh fun!” to “holy sh*t, did we just do that?”

Level 0–25: Warm-Up Thrills

Ease into the chaos.

LINQ Zipline (Fly LINQ)

Soar 12 stories above the Strip, legs dangling, heart racing. It’s the perfect “first taste” of Vegas-level adrenaline — selfie-friendly, hair-wrecking fun.

“My boyfriend screamed louder than I did — and he’s the one who suggested it.” — Shawn, 28, Dallas

SlotZilla Zipline (Downtown)
Launch Superman-style over Fremont Street’s lights and live bands. You’ll look down on costumed showgirls and up at the world’s largest video screen — sensory overload, guaranteed.

The Big Apple Coaster (New York-New York)
Still one of the Strip’s classic scream rides — loops, drops, and Manhattan skyline views. Don’t underestimate it after a couple of cocktails.

Escape Blair Witch / The Basement: A Live Escape Room Experience
Lock yourself in, solve your way out — or panic while your friends laugh. Vegas escape rooms aren’t just puzzles; they’re horror movie productions with screaming optional (but likely).

If this low-key your type of fun, dial it up a notch at freakyfun.vegas where you can get your freak on without your ass ending up in jail.  

Level 25–50: Power Trip

Feel the rush — but still stay mostly clothed.

Exotics Racing
Get behind the wheel of a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Porsche and tear around a real racetrack. Vegas is the only place where a traffic ticket feels like foreplay.

Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix
A more affordable speed fix — fast laps, arcade chaos, and just enough competition to ruin friendships for a few hours.

Dig This Las Vegas
Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like: an adult-sized sandbox where you operate real bulldozers and backhoes. Ridiculous. Therapeutic. Weirdly satisfying.

“Ten minutes in, I forgot about my ex. Twenty minutes in, I was laughing like a kid again.” — Marcos, 31, Portland

Machine Gun Vegas
Full-auto, full-volume, and fully wild. Fire everything from handguns to military-grade machine guns in a secure, instructor-led range. Adrenaline meets gunpowder.

Level 50–75: High Altitude, Higher Stakes

You’re officially chasing that next-level rush.

Big Shot
This is the moment Vegas stops flirting and goes straight for the throat—Big Shot launches you 160 feet into the sky from the top of The STRAT, like a G-force slingshot for people who think fear is a recreational drug. The drop back down hits so hard your stomach gets temporarily divorced from your body… and honestly, the drama is part of the fun.

SkyJump
This is for the people who look at a perfectly good building (The STRAT) and think, “Yes, I’d like to step off that.” You’re clipped in, suited up, and nudged toward an open-air ledge 855 feet above the Strip—then you drop in a controlled freefall that feels equal parts stunt double and spiritual awakening.

Sky Combat Ace
Climb into the cockpit with a fighter pilot for real aerial maneuvers — flips, rolls, and maybe a few Gs too many. You’ll never look at turbulence the same way again.

Maverick Helicopter Tours
For something (slightly) calmer, soar over the Strip or into the Grand Canyon with Champagne on ice. Sunset flights hit different — romantic, cinematic, totally Vegas.

Vegas Indoor Skydiving
No plane, no parachute — just a giant wind tunnel and gravity-defying grins. Great for testing your courage before jumping out of an actual plane.

Hip Hop ATV Tours
Swap the club for the desert. You’ll cruise sand dunes blasting beats, surrounded by red rock vistas — a little chaos, a little culture, and a lot of dust.

“A little ‘Sabotage’ by the Beastie Boys and cruising over the Mojave, then a hip-hop themed pub crawl. Ya boy was in heaven.” — Dre, 27, Brooklyn 

Keep the exclusivity going at a sultry speakeasy after your tour. Get the list (and get lit!) at cocktailbars.vegas. 

Level 75–100: The Edge (and a Little Over It)

This is where the thrill gets sweaty — in more ways than one.

Skydive Las Vegas
Jump out of a perfectly good airplane over the Mojave and freefall toward the neon horizon. Couples, friends, singles — the view alone is a high you won’t come down from fast.

“I thought I’d cry. Or piss myself. I ended up laughing like a maniac the whole way down.” — Jess, 26, Denver

The Love Cloud “Mile High Club” Flight
Vegas being Vegas, of course there’s a luxury private plane where you can literally check the mile-high club off your list. Champagne, mood lighting, and full discretion included.

“Let’s just say turbulence wasn’t the only reason the plane shook.” — Anonymous couple, 30s

The Erotic Heritage Museum
A Vegas must for the sexually curious, with rotating exhibits on desire, kink, and pleasure throughout history. Fun fact: the museum’s gift shop is worth a detour of its own.

The Black Room (Downtown)
Part boutique dungeon, part sensual playground — with a focus on consent, exploration, and all orientations. Whether you’re curious or committed, the vibe is body-positive, inclusive, and electric. 

Hungry for more? Hit up horny.vegas, the no-bullshit guide for anyone who’s DTF. 

Epilogue: Coming Down Easy

When you’ve had your fill of thrill, cool down with a rooftop cocktail at Skyfall Lounge, a recovery float at True Rest Spa, or a lazy day at a pool club where nobody asks why you’re limping. Because in Vegas, it’s not about how far you go — it’s about how hard your heart races getting there. 

To truly take the edge off during the comedown, visit kush.vegas. (Yes, it’s legal to buy marijuana in Vegas, but be smart about it.) And tell the budtenders we sent you.
