23600 S Las Vegas Blvd · Jean, NV
Skydive Las Vegas flies first-time jumpers out of the Jean Aviation Sport Center on South Las Vegas Boulevard in Jean, south of the city. On a tandem jump you exit at 12,500 feet strapped to an instructor, free fall for 30 to 45 seconds at around 120 mph, then ride the parachute down for 5 to 7 minutes. From the air you can spot the Strip, Mt. Charleston, Red Rock Canyon and the Valley of Fire. No experience is needed, and a free shuttle runs from the Strip.
General tours guidance
Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.
Confirm the meeting point
It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.
Small groups fill first
In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.
Ask how much is on foot
Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.
Read the weather policy
Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
