‘SlotZilla’ zip line opens in downtown Las Vegas

The lower zip lines on the $12 million SlotZilla attraction opened over the weekend of April 26 after 14 months of construction. Rides start from a 12-story tower designed like a giant slot machine. Riders can now take the 77-foot-high zip lines, which harness visitors in a sitting position and take them 850 lateral feet to a platform near the 3rd Street Stage.
