SkyJump at The STRAT

At the edge of fear and thrill, with the neon sprawl of Las Vegas glittering beneath you, there’s a moment when your heart races—not from a poker win, but from stepping off a ledge 829 feet above the ground. Welcome to SkyJump at The STRAT, where bravery meets breathtaking beauty in the most unforgettable way.

Whether you're chasing adrenaline or memories, this is not just a fall—it's flight, freedom, and the ultimate Vegas story.

Why you should visit SkyJump at the STRAT 

SkyJump is perched on the 108th floor of The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower, located at 2000 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89104—right on the iconic Las Vegas Strip.

You’ll accelerate downwards at around 40 mph (64 km/h) before the system gently slows you for a safe landing. 

The total experience lasts 35–45 minutes, encompassing a safety briefing, gearing up in a jumpsuit, the vertical plunge, and a cooldown. It holds the Guinness World Record for the highest commercial decelerator descent in North America.
