Guide wires keep the SkyJumper on course and on target. Jumpers are harnessed in and attached to a cable that is connected to a descender machine. The launching pad is located on the 108th floor of The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower in Las Vegas, 855 feet above the Las Vegas Strip. SkyJump is a controlled descent, similar to a vertical zip line. It's the only sky jump in North America and the highest in the world. There is also a “locals” discount for Tower Admission. Yes, SkyJumpers will have access to their own personal locker, with a key. Is there a secure place to put my personal items while I jump? Viewers can watch SkyJumpers descending from the comfort of reclining chaise lounges directly below the platform. There is a very nice viewing area adjacent to the SkyJump landing pad, located right outside the SkyJump store. Where's the best place for my friends/family to watch me from?
