Visitors to the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas no longer need an elevator to get down from Sin City's highest building.
A new ride is giving daredevils a cable, a platform and a chance to jump to a blue and black target 829 feet below.
SkyJump Las Vegas has opened as the world's highest commercial "decelerator descent." A cable line guides jumpers down from a metal platform, with views of the Las Vegas Strip along the way. The ride was certified by Guinness World Records as the highest of its kind.
Taking the plunge costs $99.99 - or $114.99 if you want a souvenir DVD as proof.
