Adventure Canyon
The crew at Buffalo Bill's has shown what a little ingenuity can do -- it turned a ride that one employee called "a dog" into a novelty that may start showing up in theme parks across the country. More info

Adventuredome
Only in Vegas could you find America's largest indoor theme park encased beneath a five-and-a-half-acre glass dome, complete with pink trim. The Adventuredome is exactly what its name suggests -- a thrill-seeker's delight. More info

Big Shot
Soar off into space and be one with the astronauts as you're launched 160 feet in a mere 2.5 seconds at 45 mph, getting a taste of weightlessness as 4 Gs of force lift you literally off your seat. More info

Bootleg Canyon Flightlines at Fremont Street Experience 
We bet you never experienced a zipline ride like this before: Get a thrilling aerial view of Fremont Street Experience by soaring 800 feet along the Viva Vision canopy, with speeds up to 30 miles per hour. More info

Canyon Blaster
Designed by Utah-based Arrow Dynamics, the Canyon Blaster crams four inversions into the tight confines of the Adventuredome. More info

Chaos
Taking the Tilt-a-Whirl and Scrambler to new heights, Chaos has passengers spinning, tilting and flipping like never before. More info

Desperado
From the top of the first hill, a tunnel burrowing into the desert looks like an anthill. By the time the Desperado rams through it, the train is careening at about 80 mph. More info

Drive or ride in a real race car
Following one-hour instruction, you can drive (or ride in) a full-size, 600 HP race car for six laps around the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 15 minutes from the Strip. Reach top speeds of 145 mph. No experience necessary.  Drive or ride.

Insanity - The Ride
Extending 64 feet over the north edge of the tower, Insanity-The Ride spins passengers at up to three Gs. And as the speed increases, up to 10 riders are pulled out in "escape proof" seats to an angle of 70 degrees, with nothing to look at but the Las Vegas Strip more than 900 feet below. More info

Inverter
With only a harness and T-bar separating you from the concrete floor 50-feet below, the Inverter gives new meaning to the term hang tight. More info

Rim Runner
The Rim Runner provides a huge photo opportunity as the broad-hulled, six-seat-across boats produce a massive tidal wave upon impact with the water after building speed on a two-tiered 60-foot chute. More info

Sling Shot
Part of the new generation of "thrill rides," the Sling Shot shoots passengers up a 100-foot tower at 4 Gs of force, 1 G more than a rocket launch. More info

The Roller Coaster at New York-New York
This state-of-the-art roller coaster, located right on the Las Vegas Strip, incorporates high velocity and inversions, including a unique heartline twist and dive. More info

Turbo Drop
Riders are slowly transported up a 180-foot tower. At the summit, they're yanked down at 45 mph and bounced on a cushion of air. More info

X Scream
This new extreme thrill ride plays on your fear of heights, as you are plunged 27 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower at speeds of 30 mph. More info
