My answer would be "no" airics, I'm not a fan of any type of balloon ride.

But I bet the tourists will love it! Yet another fun thing to do in Las Vegas! I thought I saw Norm Clarke (entertainment reporter for the RJ) on there...brave soul. LOL!!

I've been hot air ballooning five times, back in the Napa Valley, and went for a glider ride once. The best thing about those rides? I got to do all of them for free. How high do you go on the tether, and for how long?

Nope. I hot air ballooned over Napa Valley - it was a nice experience, but after a 20 minutes or so, I got kinda bored. Now ballooning over an Africa savannah - that would captivate me.

Hmmm...if my memory serves it has some very nice strip views. Probably as good as the baloon...just from the other end.
