An enduring but long-struggling Las Vegas attraction, Vegas Indoor Skydiving, is set to close on Jan. 25, 2025.<\/p>\n
The attraction, near the Las Vegas Convention Center, faced a series of burbles in recent years and has now hit terminal velocity, causing the owner to pull the ripcord on the free-flying operation. Vegas Indoor Skydiving was in business for an impressive 42 years before its fall.<\/p>\n
We have never skydived (we\u2019re a \u201cWhuffo,\u201d according to those who have), so our lingo may not slap or be exactly on the fleek here, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n Vegas Indoor Skydiving announced its looming closure on social media, saying, \u201cOver four decades, the facility has welcomed more than 1,000,000 flyers of all ages, from five-year-old daredevils to 103-year-old adventurers. Celebrities such as Tom Hanks, Steve Aoki, Travis Pastrana, Carrie Underwood, Britney Spears and Howie Mandel have taken flight within its walls. The facility also served as a training ground for skydiving students and a springboard for hundreds of employees who went on to become doctors, lawyers, firemen, amazing parents, business owners, and overall extraordinary members of society.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s right, that Tom Hanks. We are going back and updating our main image for this story accordingly.<\/p>\n Vegas Indoor Skydiving touts itself as \u201cthe first commercial wind tunnel to open in the U.S., inspiring a global phenomenon.\u201d<\/p>\n We have no idea if any of that is true, but Vegas Indoor Skydiving has undeniably been around a long time.<\/p>\n As for the future of the place, we\u2019re told the owners of the building and surrounding land (about 13 acres), The Siegel Group, are looking for a new restaurant partner for the space.<\/p>\n The company has big plans for the site down the road, promising a resort project that will \u201cchange the Vegas skyline.\u201d<\/p>\n As for your skydiving options in Las Vegas, you can always jump out of a perfectly good plane, but there\u2019s another controlled skydive attraction in the works at Neonopolis. This attraction is outside, but provides all the safety and convenience of doing it indoors.<\/p>\n Permits have been approved for the skydiving attraction for Crash N Burn at Neonopolis (should open summer 2025). Sorely needed\u2014great venue, no marketing. pic.twitter.com\/QEzy922PK5<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Vital Vegas (@VitalVegas) November 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/skydiver2-845x563.jpg\"\/)
