What Fly LINQ is
Fly LINQ opened in late 2018 as the first zipline on the Strip itself. Riders climb a 12-storey launch tower at the Las Vegas Boulevard end of the LINQ Promenade, clip into one of ten parallel lines, and fly 1,121 feet east down the length of the promenade at up to about 35 mph, landing on a platform beside the High Roller. Ten people launch at once, which makes it a genuinely good group activity — a bachelor party or a family of five can ride side by side and watch each other scream.
The flight lasts around 35 to 45 seconds. Below you is the promenade with its restaurants, the crowd looking up, and the neon of the Flamingo and LINQ hotels on either side; ahead is the 550-foot wheel growing larger. It is not a long ride and it is not the highest zipline in Nevada, but it is the only one where the view is the centre of the Strip at rooftop height, and after dark, with everything lit, it is a properly memorable 40 seconds. It sits in our centre-Strip guide as the easiest thrill you can add to a night out without leaving the sidewalk.
Seated or Superman?
You choose a flying position when you book. The seated harness is the standard option: you sit upright in a sling with your legs dangling, which feels like a fast swing and is the choice for anyone nervous. The Superman (prone) position straps you face-down, arms forward, flying horizontally over the promenade; it is more exposed, gives a better view straight down and is the one people talk about afterwards. It costs more and has slightly tighter height and weight rules.
Groups can mix positions on the same launch, so a nervous parent can sit while the teenagers fly prone. If you are on the fence, take Superman — the harness holds you securely, the ride is short enough that fear does not have time to build, and the seated version can feel slightly anticlimactic once you have watched the person next to you go horizontal. Riders of both types get a short briefing and a practice clip-in on the tower before the gate opens.
Prices, hours and booking
As of 2026, seated tickets have generally been in the $30 to $50 range and Superman in the $45 to $70 range, with night flights priced above daytime and weekend evenings the most expensive slot. Combo tickets pairing Fly LINQ with the High Roller — often with a small saving — are sold on the official Caesars site and through resellers, and Caesars Rewards members sometimes see reduced rates. Check the official site for current pricing and any timed-entry requirements.
The zipline typically runs from early afternoon until late evening, with weather closures for high wind, which is the main reason a booked slot gets moved. Book online for the time you want on a weekend; on a weeknight afternoon walk-ups are usually fine. Photo and video packages are sold at the base and are pricey — a friend filming from the promenade below with a phone gets a perfectly good clip for free. See our tickets hub for the combo passes that bundle Strip attractions.
Rules, limits and what to wear
- Age and height. Riders must meet a minimum height and, for children, ride with an adult on an adjacent line; minimums differ between seated and Superman. The official site has the current figures.
- Weight. There are minimum and maximum weight limits, checked on a scale at the tower — roughly 60 to 300 pounds has been the published range for seated, with a tighter band for Superman. Do not be embarrassed about the scale; it is about harness ratings.
- Clothing. Closed shoes are required and a good idea anyway; skirts and loose dresses are a bad idea in a harness. Long hair tied back.
- Loose items. Phones, hats and sunglasses come off unless secured; lockers are provided at the base.
- Alcohol. Visibly intoxicated riders are refused, and this is enforced.
- Weather. Wind closures are common in spring; rain and lightning stop everything.
Best time to ride and how long it takes
Ride at night. The daytime flight is fine but the promenade is at its most ordinary in sunlight, and summer afternoons on the tower are hot. From dusk onward the promenade lights come on, the High Roller cycles its colours and the whole flight feels like a music video. The sweet spot is the half hour after sunset, when the sky still has colour — the same advice we give for the High Roller, and the two pair perfectly: zipline down, ride the wheel up.
Allow 45 to 75 minutes door to door: check-in and harnessing, the lift to the launch platform, a short wait for your group to assemble, the 40-second flight and de-rigging at the bottom. Weekend evening queues can push that past 90 minutes, another reason to book a slot. A weekday afternoon in the off-season is often walk-straight-on. It suits almost anyone from older children to grandparents, including first-time zipliners; the people who should skip it are those with back or neck issues or a serious fear of heights that the seated harness will not calm.
Getting there and nearby combos
The launch tower is at the Strip end of the LINQ Promenade, between the Flamingo and the LINQ Hotel, directly opposite Caesars Palace. Walk from any centre-Strip resort; the pedestrian bridge from Caesars puts you at the tower in three minutes. The monorail's Harrah's/The LINQ station is at the far end of the promenade, a five-minute walk. Rideshare drop-off is the LINQ porte-cochère or Koval Lane behind the wheel. Parking is in the LINQ or Flamingo garages at Caesars rates — see parking on the Strip.
The natural pairings are the High Roller, dinner on the promenade (Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips, In-N-Out, Chayo, Hash House A Go Go) and a walk to the Bellagio fountains across the Boulevard. If you want more adrenaline in one night, SlotZilla Downtown is the longer, higher zipline under the Fremont canopy, and The STRAT has the tallest thrill rides in the city. Doing Fly LINQ and SlotZilla on the same trip is a legitimate plan — they feel completely different.
