Downtown Las Vegas is on the verge of something big! The SlotZilla zipline ride is all lit up, and wired, ready for its hair-raising debut as the next big attraction in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"SlotZilla<\/a>
Oh, there will be hair raised, believe you us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A concrete opening date for SlotZilla has been elusive, but from the giant slot machine’s exterior, we expect it won’t be long now.<\/p>\n

\"Las<\/a>
SlotZilla is covered with Las Vegas icons. Sadly, our face wouldn’t fit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 120-foot-tall SlotZilla is an imposing presence at the Fremont Street Experience, and its decorative touches include showgirls, a flamingo, martini, palm tree and “Welcome to Fabulous Downtown Las Vegas” sign.<\/p>\n

\"Las<\/a>
This is an homage to a real sign greeting visitors to downtown. That sign is an homage to the sign that welcomes visitors to The Strip. Vegas is big on homages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SlotZilla’s showgirls are based upon actual women, Jennifer and Porsha, the models who dressed as showgirls and accompanied former Mayor Oscar Goodman to his many public appearances.<\/p>\n

SlotZilla’s showgirls are exactly 35 feet, 2 11\/16 inches tall. That’ll win you a bar bet someday. (Most sources inaccurately report the showgirls are 37 feet tall. Amateurs.)<\/p>\n

\"SlotZilla<\/a>
Porsha, everyone. Everyone, Porsha.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Among the sparkly new flourishes adorning SlotZilla are three video screens which simulate slot machine reels. Unlike a real shot machine, however, this one seems to hit on every spin.<\/p>\n

\"Las<\/a>
Win percentages in actual Las Vegas casinos may vary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s some wonderfully shaky video of the reels in action. We are a Las Vegas blog, not a professional videographer.<\/p>\n
