- Listen.
I feel like I should be paying admission
just to have witnessed that.
That was so cool.
Hey everybody, it's Gunnarolla.
And we're here today on the Las Vegas Strip.
If you've ever wanted to soar through the sky
without a helicopter or an airplane,
I've got the ultimate flying ride for you.
FlyOver is the latest attraction to hit the Las Vegas Strip,
joining Vancouver and Reykjavik
in taking guests on a multisensory fully immersive journey
across iconic locations and natural wonders.
At FlyOver in Las Vegas,
you'll glide through the American West
and discover 22 of the country's
most magnificent cities, monuments and land landscapes.
And if that isn't enough, treat yourself to a double feature
with the option of taking a trip to Iceland.
It's a unique, exhilarating, family-friendly attraction
unlike anything else you'll find on the Strip.
It's the feeling of flight without the stress of travel.
All right. So, I'm here with Jack.
He's the general manager.
Tell me a bit about the design concept behind this space.
- Because there's so much happening on the Strip,
the entry way we call our decompression zone.
So we want people to come in,
forget about everything that they just experienced outside.
And by the time you get to the lobby area
you have no idea that you're in Vegas anymore.
- What has some of the reaction been like?
- Some people are first, they don't know what it is.
They don't know what to expect.
It is in a virtual ride and it's actual reality.
It's you sitting there, we've got scent,
we've got air, we've got mist on you.
Our seats are made out of mesh
so that there's airflow around you as well.
So you really literally feel like you're flying in that air.
So it takes us through Arizona,
through New Mexico up to California coast
back down through Tahoe, through Colorado, Wyoming.
It's really the story of how the West became wild.
And as we studied prehistoric times
and we bring it right up to
the crazy Vegas times that we are now.
- Do I need to do anything to prepare for this?
- No, you just gotta come with an open mind
and just get ready to have the best time of your life.
- We've got our boarding pass
and making our way through this tunnel of lights
definitely feels like we're about to embark
on the adventure of a lifetime.
And just like every good travel story,
our first stop is the bar.
So, there's a lot of energy out there.
Pretty chaotic on the Strip,
but here, at the Lost Cactus,
a very different vibe, like relaxed.
- Oh, I love it, yeah.
So the whole theme of this area
it's like you're inside of a canyon, right?
If you see the ridges the flooring, the colors, the pictures
it's a little detox away from the slot machines,
the noise and the casinos and stuff like that.
That way you're ready to go out and enjoy the ride.
- So what can we expect at the bar?
What's on the menu here?
- All our drinks are inspired
by colors and themes you see on the film.
The moment you see them
you'll remember something in the film.
- So, tell me about the cocktail I'm gonna try today.
- The cocktail, it's the Gold Rush.
So, it's inspired by the real Wild West.
When everybody moved from all over the United States,
coming down for gold, back in the days.
A non-alcoholic drink,
and then we infuse it with wild berry smoke on top smoke.
- Smoke?
- We have a liquid that creates a barrier around the smoke,
and then it follows right on top of your drink.
- I'm ready?
- Yes. - Let's try it out.
- What the heck?
- Whoa!
- Listen, I feel like I should be paying admission
just to have witnessed that.
That was so cool.
It's shimmery shiny.
It's a whole experience.
Let's give it a try.
- I'll give you some smoke.
Record it like that.
There you go. - Oh yeah, yeah.
- Try to catch it, okay?
- Oh gosh.
Oh!
Listen, every drink I have now
needs to come with a bubble.
- That was good.
Hey, that was a good catch.
That was a good catch.
- Good bye down there, thank you.
It's time to head toward the theater
where we'll enjoy a dynamic pre-show
before the main attraction.
Now, without giving too much away,
let's just say that FlyOver really does live up to its name.
You hang suspended in front of a 52-foot spherical screen
immersed in a film and music experience
created by an award-winning team.
With wind, mist sense and moving seats,
this isn't just a flight on a plane or helicopter.
You'll really feel like you're soaring through the sky.
So if you wanna break from the chaos of the Las Vegas Strip
and you're looking to take a trip
without dealing with the stress of an airport,
book a ticket to FlyOver in Las Vegas
