A flying-theatre ride on the south-center Strip, next to the Hard Rock Cafe and across from Park MGM: you choose one of four films and fly over a 52.5-foot domed screen with wind, mist and scents.
Flyover is a flying-theatre attraction at 3771 Las Vegas Boulevard South, next to the Hard Rock Cafe and across from Park MGM on the south-center Strip. It is not at The LINQ, which is about 1.5 miles north, so check the address before you set off. The idea is simple. You sit in a suspended seat with six degrees of motion, it lifts you in front of a 52.5-foot spherical screen, and you feel like you are flying through the landscape on the film, with wind, mist and scents added at the right moments.
Each ticket covers one film, so choose before you book. Wonders of the American West sweeps over the Grand Canyon, Zion and Monument Valley, and is the natural choice if you are not doing those day trips. Legendary Iceland covers volcanoes, glaciers and waterfalls. Call of the Canadian Rockies flies over peaks and turquoise lakes. Believe Chicago runs from Lake Michigan to Wrigley Field. The flight itself lasts about eight minutes. With a short multi-sensory pre-show and boarding, the whole visit takes about 25 minutes. Arrive about 15 minutes before your time slot.
The rules are straightforward. Riders must be at least 40 inches tall, and the ride is suitable for most ages above that. The motion is smooth rather than violent, but you do tilt and dip, so people prone to motion sickness should sit it out or pick the gentlest film. There is no bag storage, so travel light. Tickets include access to The Lost Cactus, the on-site bar, where food and drink are extra.
Who is it for? Families with kids who meet the height rule, first-time visitors who want to see the American West without a day on a coach, and anyone looking for a short, air-conditioned break mid-Strip. It is not a substitute for actually visiting the Grand Canyon, but as a 25-minute experience it is impressive. Combination tickets with the High Roller, Fly LINQ or Arte Museum are often sold. Note that it is a separate trip, as those are on different parts of the Strip.
