A new zip line set to open in Vegas

A new zip line connecting two towers at Las Vegas’s Rio casino is set to open in early November.

The VooDoo Skyline at the off-the-Strip casino will start at the patio of the VooDoo Steakhouse on the 50th floor of the Masquerade Tower. Riders will glide to the 20-storey Ipanema Tower and then return to their starting point.

The ride covers half a kilometre in 70 seconds. Tickets are $25 (Dh92).

Sin City is expecting two more zip lines in the future. A popular ride at downtown’s Fremont Street Experience is being reinvented under the name “Slotzilla,” although the project is behind schedule.
