Yolo: Things to do before you die

Many people view Vegas as a glamorous kind of place. After learning that people can zip line through Vegas, I think of Vegas as an exciting, must-see daring place now.

Zip lining is an exciting and thrilling experience. People mostly zip line in the woods or over water. Being able to zip line through Vegas would be a great story for someone to tell their friends and family. Imagine what others will think about that person’s adventure of being in the air, soaring through the Fremont Street Experience. They would also be right underneath a colorful laser light show. They will be jealous.

Zip lining takes no experience; being scared of heights is no excuse not to go. In fact, it is a great way for people to overcome their fear of heights. People who zip line wear a harness and helmets. They feel completely secured.  When people ride a roller they might start to freak out when their butt isn’t touching the seat, but while zip lining you are always connected to the harness. There is no need to worry about that.

Last summer I went zip lining at Raystown with my Dad’s boy scout group. I remember feeling the wind hit my face and blowing my shirt all around.

“Hanging upside down flying across the zip line was the best part,” my brother said.

“Hang gliding in Vegas would be so much better than what we did at Raystown, that was kinda crappy!” Dustin Adams said.

Vegas would be a wonderful place to zip line  The cost to zip line there is pretty reasonable too. People can even zip line when it is close to midnight because the place is open till  midnight except on Sundays.

Other than Zip lining there’s so much more to do in Vegas.
