Bungee Jumping in Las Vegas & Nevada - Sky Jump and Other Top Places

Bungee jumping is an activity that literally forces you to jump in the face of fear. The sport stretches the limits of fear for sole purpose…and that is fun. Have you ever wondered why anyone would want to jump from a tall structure several feet above the ground? The simple answer to that question is thrill and fun.

Your heart beats like never before during bungee jumping and blood flows throughout your body. It may sound cheesy but the activity makes you feel truly ‘alive’. You jump with nothing more than an elastic cord attached to your feet and despite knowing that the cord will keep you safe, your body’s flight or fight response kicks in when you jump and freefall to the ground. Adrenaline kicks in and the experience will be mind-blowing.

Despite the element of danger associated with bungee jumping, the sport is almost completely safe. High-quality equipment is used and you only need to be brave enough to take the plunge. And, the odds of dying during the activity are about 1 in 500,000. Good odds.

If you stay in Las Vegas or Nevada as a whole and would like to go bungee jumping, then this article is for you. There is currently no true bungee jumping destination in Nevada. AJ Hackett in Las Vegas used to offer bungee jumping but the company is currently closed. If this changes, I’ll update this article accordingly.

However, the #1 attraction in Las Vegas that will give you a similar experience as bungee jumping is Sky Jump.

As I mentioned above, traditional bungee jumping is not available in Nevada, but there are similar activities you can do in the state such as participating in the controlled freefall offered by Stratosphere Hotel. You’ll be wearing a jumpsuit and harness and the jump is from the 108th floor.

Another option in Las Vegas is Xtreme Zone. it has a bungee trampoline and the jump is done indoors. You’ll be wearing a harness attached to elastic cords and vertical lift poles.

Again, note that these activities are not traditional bungee jumping. If you want to bungee jump, there are spots in neighboring states such as Arizona, Oregon, California, and Idaho. I’ll be discussing a few bungee spots from these states.
