FlyOver Las Vegas opens on the Las Vegas Strip on Sep. 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

FlyOver, described as an “immersive flight ride” and “multi-sensory journey”, takes riders on a scenic tour of either the “Real Wild West” or Iceland.<\/p>\n

Because if something isn’t “immersive” and “multi-sensory,” why even bother?<\/p>\n

We were hoping for Las Vegas flyover option, but that’s apparently not in the cards for now, despite the promotional photo provided by FlyOver.<\/p>\n

\"FlyOver
Actual things you’re “flying over” may vary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Still, the FlyOver flight simulation ride sounds like fun.<\/p>\n

Riders sit in a moving platform with “six degrees of motion,” which we’re pretty sure is about the same as the typical nursing home resident, but let’s not get bogged down by details.<\/p>\n

Riders will see stunning visuals on a 52-foot spherical screen.<\/p>\n

The “multi-sensory” part comes special effects like wind, mist and location-specific scents.<\/p>\n

One can only imagine what the “Real Wild West” smells like.<\/p>\n

\"\"
FlyOver was supposed to be in Las Vegas awhile back, but the pandemic left everyone hanging.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the start of the ride, guests will be treated to a six-minute pre-show from Moment Factory. Moment Factory has done some amazing visuals, including in places you might be surprised by. For example, Moment Factory did the content for a high-definition billboard<\/a> outside the Forum Shops. It’s a stunner.<\/p>\n

FlyOver is even more enticing because there will be a full-service bar, the Lost Cactus, with craft cocktails and bites.<\/p>\n

FlyOver is located at Showcase Mall, in a space formerly occupied by movie theaters and a shoe store, next to the Hard Rock Cafe.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $34 for adults, $24 for children 12 and younger. Get tickets online<\/a> at the official Web site.<\/p>\n

We’re rooting for FlyOver Las Vegas, but in a town with so many great diversions, they have their job cut out for them.<\/p>\n

Showcase Mall is a challenging location, but that’s not always a factor in whether an attraction will succeed or fail. Downtown’s SlotZilla zipline continues to print money, while the Fear the Walking Dead walk-through attraction at the base of the take-off tower tanked.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of competition for those attraction dollars, including a slew of interactive goodness at Area 15, an offbeat experiential mall about five minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

The latest addition to Area 15 is Virtualis VR<\/a>, a “free roam VR experience.” While FlyOver sounds fun, images projected on a screen seems rather quaint when virtual reality attractions are cropping up everywhere. Coming soon, Illuminarium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s something for everyone in Las Vegas, so we’ll see if FlyOver Las Vegas takes off.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
