LAS VEGAS (AP) — Visitors to the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas no longer need an elevator to get down from Sin City's highest building.

A new ride is giving daredevils a cable, a platform and a chance to jump to a blue and black target 829 feet below.

SkyJump Las Vegas has opened as the world's highest commercial decelerator descent.

A cable line guides jumpers down from a metal platform, with views of the Las Vegas Strip along the way.

The ride was certified by Guinness World Records as the highest of its kind.

[Quo Fan]

The hard part for me would be getting off the platform.

Couldn't do it. I went on the roller coaster up there before they tore it down... holy sh!t is that building tall.

[DirtyMike]

EDIT.... Wait a minute... a hundred ****ing dollars????? After watching the video it starts decelerating before you ever get going..... I was hoping you got more freefall out of it before it controlled your speed..... as in half the building then slow you down......
