THRILL RIDES IN LAS VEGAS

There are those who come to Las Vegas to relax. Then there are the adrenaline junkies. You're also known as thrill-seekers, and you know who you are. You come here to scream and shout while being whipped around at 70 mph on a heart-pounding roller coaster. Or to lose your lunch while dangling in mid-air on a ride 855 feet above the Las Vegas Strip. You have a serious need for speed, and that's why you'd rather take a supercar for a super-fast spin than plop down by a sparkling pool. There will be plenty of time to relax when you're dead. Until then, we've got all the best thrill rides you can handle -- the kind of thrills that will earn you major street cred with your friends back home. That fact alone is almost enough to get your adrenaline pumping. Almost.
