See Las Vegas from aerial heights

See Las Vegas from up above.
While certain hotels in Las Vegas give tourists an expansive view of the bright lights and big city, not every venue offers this panoramic feature. The best way for those staying in Las Vegas to see the Strip from great heights is to hop in a hot air balloon.

Flying nearly 500 feet in the air, the Cloud Nine Balloon Ride is an excellent way to experience the city from aerial heights. It is also quite eco-friendly, as it does not pollute the environment or require any fuel like helicopter rides.

Every tourist on a Las Vegas vacation is able to enjoy the ride, even young children and mothers-to-be, as it is built strong and never flies freely. The balloon is tethered to the ground with strong cables and constructed with fire-resistant materials, making it safe for everyone. While Cloud Nine insists that the cables will never break, all pilots are professionally trained and certified to land the balloon in a safe manner.

No more than 30 passengers are allowed in the balloon basket at a time, and the company offers group reservations for parties of up to 25 people. Each flight lasts for 15 minutes.
