Vegas Indoor Skydiving — Local services in Paradise

My kids loved this experience! There were my two, ages 9 and 12, me two neices, 13 and 15, and two others we didn't know. So 6 total in the group. Us parents didn't do it this time but we just had to be there with them. Training was fast and painless. The instructor was knowledgeable, and the kids really enjoyed his upbeat personality. They weigh each participant, but only the person registering them can see the scale, so if you're insecure about that, no worries there. They have a large parking lot and it is free for customers. The bagel/donut joint next door has amazing food, but it closes pretty early, so be sure to check their hours. It was open past 6 for us during SEMA, but I was told that's not typical. Don't expect to get to fly around independently or to do flips on your first visit. It's not as easy as it looks, and the instructor hangs onto your suit the whole time unless you're really good, then he let's go only for a moment. It's still worth it, though. There's a great viewing area, and I took all my pictures on my cell phone. Don't use a flash, or it'll reflect off the glass. I never bought the pictures they took there, but I was emailed a preview of them a couple of days later, which was a pleasant surprise. I didn't feel like they were much better than the ones I took, but I also had to color corrected mine in light room so everything wasn't yellow. Bring cash, even if you don't want to be tempted to tip. These guys were pretty awesome, and we felt like they earned it, so we definitely tipped them. They have tip boxes on the wall, so it's all anonymous anyway. Wear whatever you like. You'll have a suit on over your clothes anyways. You'll wear your own shoes unless they don't have straps to keep them on. They'll provide something. Those wearing crocs and sandals had to use...

From the excitement, to the anticipation with the thought of going indoor skydiving…was all put on full excitement mode from the time CEO Doctor Carol Diggs and Executive Lynn Holder with the industry highlighter magazine and I stepped into indoor skydiver Vegas. With such a happy greeting from the front desk checking us in to meeting our instructor Johnny, and the professional and fun Managment team. They started by getting me suited up, and a Saftey lesson which is Vegas Skydives number 1 priority for you as a flyer which having fun is a super close 2nd. Then we made our way through the stair case and as we walked my anticipation grew that much more. On goes the giant fan that lifts you up and from that moment Johnny has you at a safe distance for you to enjoy the feel of flight in an actual skydive simulation…and let me tell you how real it felt, it was so much fun with the wind blowing through my hair (if i had any lol ) and being able to do spins turns and tricks, and no worries if it gets to much for you all you have to do is signal to the instructor thumbs down to stop and catch your composer , then a thumbs up your back in the air. While I’m there Johnny took it upon himself to show us some of his tricked out spins and flips which I’d say is amazing and such an entertaining thing to see even for the ground. So i want to thank Indoor skydive Vegas and Instructor Johnny and manager Mcfly for an unforgettable experience and if your looking For an ultimate thrill ride within the Saftey of professional skydivers in a atmosphere like no other, take that thrill and when in Vegas…in the words of Mrs. Lynn holder…FLY HIGH WITH MCFLY and the indoor skydive Vegas team…thank you again…Doctor Carol Diggs, Lynn Holder with The Industry highlighter Magazine and I will be...

Plus points because they do deliver what they say - an indoor skydiving experience and the staff is also super friendly. However a few minuses. A few friends banged up their elbows pretty badly with big welts and bruises the next day. The black and Grey padding areas has a gap in between where if you land, could hit a hard metal part. Yes they teach you how to tuck in when you get thrown off the fanned area, but the instructor just throws u off pretty quick and there's little to no time to react. We think the instructors should give some sort of hand signal that he's about to throw you off.

There was 6 of us in total and out of the 'hour' that we had we probably each had no more than 90 seconds on the fan. Wasn't sure what to expect but just seemed like the experience passed by so fast. Learned after that if we were say a group of 3, it still would have been the same price... would we have gotten more time then? Would it be more fair to charge each person less if the group is bigger and each person gets less time? We had other people in our trip that had done it before and opted not to come again because they had done it before. I feel the same way... it's definitely a fun experience but just quite pricey and very short. You are allowed to come back again for a 3rd of the price apparently if you've done the initial class within 90 days. Guess if you're really into it and live nearby that could be worth it. Also I guess we should keep in mind that nothing in Vegas is cheap..

Overall a cool experience but feel like there could be room for...
