Jump out of our perfectly good airplane, freefall at 120 MPH, then enjoy the parachute flight while taking in spectacular views of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Colorado River and Las Vegas. Skydive Las Vegas has been in operation since 1993 and is Nevada's longest running student skydiving center and the first to specialize in first-time tandem skydiving.We are located at the Boulder City Airport in Boulder City which is only minutes away from the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. When you are in the airplane and in freefall you can see the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Colorado River, the beautiful golf courses of Boulder City, the Las Vegas Strip, Mt. Charleston, Red Rock Canyon, the Valley of Fire and so much more. Our landing zone is directly across the street from our facility. Once you land your parachute you can walk right back into our facility and you're done. This also makes it ideal if you have friends and family coming out to watch you skydive. They can watch your entire experience all the way from gear-up to landing your parachute.We use only the newest and finest of everything. We operate a brand new 2009 PAC-750XL skydiving airplane that can carry up to 7-8 tandem jumpers (14-16 people) at a time. The PAC-750XL is the only airplane in the world built specifically for skydiving. Our skydiving equipment is all brand new (2009 & 2010) and state-of-the-art. We drive brand new 2009 Chevy Express passenger shuttle vans outfitted with DVD video systems and GPS navigation. We have the largest and nicest skydiving facility in Nevada, complete with a large air-conditioned lobby, restrooms, HD television for your viewing pleasure, snack and soda machines, and a brand new Starbucks Coffee machine that brews fresh ground Starbucks coffee. « less

Words can't really express the experience to be honest. One of the most terrifying and yet exciting things I have ever done. Definitely something you have to do before you die though. Very professional service throughout, they were dead on time picking us up opposite the Mandalay Bay and explained any questions about all the waivers I had. The training... More

My husband and I did our first parachute jump with these guys and had a great experience. We only booked 3 hours before as we discovered them when we were doing a helicopter ride from boulder airport. There is a training video and a few moves to practice and then you get suited and you are off. I never felt... More

For all those thrill-seekers out there who are paying a visit to Vegas, I urge you to book a skydive! The staff are great - my instructor Kelly was reassuring, friendly, and made my first Skydive highly memorable. Apart from the rather depressing, "waiver of death" form that one must sign before boarding the coach, the whole experience was brilliant.... More

It was fun. I think they run a really great operation. My instructor/tandem was Kevin and he did an excellent job. He, and the other instructors, made us feel very comfortable. They talked us through everything that we needed to know, and were extremely funny. I would recommend Skydive Las Vegas to anyone considering a tandem jump. More

We booked our skydive through their website, very easy hassle free. We got picked up from the strip promptly at 7.30. The drive to the airport took about 40 minutes. They had 4 groups that morning, we were in the third one. My instructor Len was so reassuring and put me at ease. I was very nervous but I didn't... More

I booked the reservation on line, they have very good follow up via phone & email to confirm your jump. They were prompt to pick us up at 730 and even though we were told it might take 4-5 hrs, we were back before 11am. Very organized group from training to jump and it was freaking awesome. You can see... More

Rang them from our hotel room, as we found their ad in our hotel's magazine. They were accommodating about fitting us in at quite short notice and rang us the day before to confirm arrangements then again on the morning we'd booked. This was reassuring as we had no printed confirmation as we were already away. The pick-up point was... More

What can you say about a first-time skydive? What everybody else says - just amazing. The folks at Skydive LasVegas were great and took excellent care of us beginning to end. Beware it does take a bit of time - we met the van at McDonalds parking lot exactly at 11:30 and were not back until nearly 5, so be... More
