Sky Jump from Stratosphere Casino in Las Vegas - 855 Foot Drop

If you have the balls it takes, starting April of 2010, you will be able to take a Sky Jump off of the Stratosphere hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Sky Jump is the 4th ride offered by Stratosphere Casino (after Insanity, X-Scream and Big Shot) and picture above shows what kind of thrill can be expected.

The 855 foot drop will cost $100 to take, as confirmed by Frank Riolo, chief executive officer of American Casino & Entertainment Properties LLC which owns and operates Stratosphere hotel and casino. The 855 foot drop makes the Stratosphere sky jump the highest sky jump in the world. Individuals with brass balls will wear a custom jump suit and will be fastened to a metal cable that will retain their course as they drop 108 stories. The cable will then deliver gentle breaking to secure participants with safe landing.

I wish I could play a big boy and pretend I have the balls of steel to take a sky jump but I don’t think I could do that. Yeah, I’m chicken like that. This is insane!
