Has anyone done a tandem skydive in Vegas?

A quick google has thrown up a couple of results, seems fairly cheap $200ish.

Does anyone know who are the best to use, or whether or not its worth booking or just using one of them pushers you find on the strip?

I had this TA post saved as my OH was looking into it last year before he chickened out:rotfl: If you scroll down the page the poster VIVALASVEGAS links to his trip reports of 2 jumps he did with 2 different companies.

it all depends on your taste in Music and Food . I don't feel qualified to suggest girls night out ideas

we had 2 days in LA before we drove to vegas, the first day we went to universal studios and on the second we did the standard hollywood/beverly hills/bel air/rodeo drive tour. it lasted about 3 hours. the driver was superb, loads of stories about the houses we were looking at, stop off in the hills for photos overlooking the bowl and teh skyscape of LA, the hollywood sign etc etc.

i think the company we called la city tours, they have an office on the walk of fame on the opposite side of the road to the kodak theatre and a few hundred yards further down. i think it cost about $45 each although im not 100% sure of this

Would like to get some restaurant.com codes for my upcoming Vegas trip - but when I try to open an account they want a US address for payment - how has everyone got round this??

Thanks.

Just make up an address. I used my own street and town, but chose NV for Nevada and zip code 89109. The certificates are emailed to you or you can print them from the site.

Make sure you read the T&C's of each certificate before purchasing.

We did the open top red double-decker bus tour. There are three loops that intersect and you can hop on and off all day. It goes from outside Graumanns Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. It was great!
