Las Vegas is known as a city that never sleeps with famous resorts, restaurants, shopping malls,... If the above is still not enough to bring excitement to visitors, there are Vegas Balloon Rides is a reasonable choice. This is a hot air balloon ride that offers people breathtaking 360-degree views of the Pahrump valley and mountains at an altitude of more than 3,000m
Vegas Balloon Rides is one of the largest commercial hot air balloon operators in the world and has been Vegas' number one hot air ballooning company for many years.
Vegas Balloon Rides uses hot air balloons ranging in size from about 6,000 cubic meters to nearly 9,000 cubic meters. They usually carry 8-12 passengers, so travelers can join their families and groups of friends. Large baskets create more space for each person while traveling, and the balloon has vents so the pilot can rotate during flight, giving everyone a 360-degree view. A pair of high-powered propane burners ignites and heats liquid propane placed inside the balloon to make it levitate. The burners generate about 30 million BTUs of heat, while the average home barbecue generates 30,000 BTUs. The hot air balloon that Vegas Balloon Rides uses is made from tear-resistant nylon like a winter ski jacket. However, unlike the jacket, it is coated with a special chemical to help it resist heat and last longer.
All Vegas Balloon Rides Las Vegas hot air balloon adventures begin before sunrise, and if you arrive at the launch site in time, you can see the staff inflating the balloon. Right after sunrise, people will begin a peaceful journey across the beautiful desert and surrounding mountains lasting about an hour. After your flight, Vegas Balloon Rides staff will be on hand to serve you a light meal of toast, traditional champagne (or sparkling cider) and a flight certificate. A hot air balloon flight depends on wind speed and direction, so every flight in Las Vegas is different and the landing location also varies from day to day.
All flights comply with all FAA safety standards for the passenger hot air balloon business. In the event of unstable weather or any other reason that is not safe for the flight, you may have to wait until you can start your journey or make a flight the next day, so people are advised to check the weather situation carefully before booking.
