It's Soarin'! in Las Vegas. Same ride system and manufacturer. They have 4 different movies that they cycle through throughout the day. There is a "history of the west" preshow video which is ok. But the actual ride really shines. Overall experience is about 25 minutes from pre-show to exit. We did the West video which went through the deserts in the west, up the coast, and also the pacific northwest. Of course there was a flyover of Vegas. The video was very crisp. The ride system was very smooth. My daughter complained it didn't have the neat transitions between scenes like Disney does. This just jumps from clip to clip although they try to keep the perspective the same. Overall I really liked this. A definite must do in my mind! read more

FlyOver Las Vegas - Amusement Parks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We went to FlyOver in LasVegas for the Iceland Experience. I agree with other reviewers about the employees being rude. We could not hear 1/2 of what they were saying and no one was enthusiastic at all. The pre-show was decent, but after standing in line, standing waiting to see the pre-show experience and then standing for the pre-show experience, older people and those with back problems had trouble. We were seated for the film. The film was nice with a few special effects, but it was more about the Iceland country side and only a few seconds showing areas inhabited by people including Reykjavik which is a beautiful city (we have been there). The overall film experience was not 25 minutes as advertised (less). If you are prone to motion sickness or have ear or balance issues I don't recommend this experience. read more

This was a really fun and unique experience. We did the fly over for the American Wonders of the West and recognized so many places we have traveled to. One of the coolest parts is that you can feel rain and snow on parts of your trip and you can also smell scents that match what you're seeing. That was the coolest. Where improvements can be made is parking. We had to pay $17 at the Showcase Mall because it's the closest structure to walk over. Obviously if you're a local you can park at MGM Grand and take a very long walk but we didn't have the time to do so. Next the flying part is extremely short and should really be a little longer. You get walked around beforehand to stand in two different rooms before the flying begins. One shows scenes of the West and another shows a video of the history. Cool concept, they just need to work out parking to be a part of the experience and the flying part to be a little longer. read more

Flyover was such a nice experience. My parents came to visit and I really wanted to surprise them and they really love the back story of Chicago and the whole experience for the ride. I like how it was long and it capture a lot of Chicago. It was 10/10 experience and need to go again to try another one. read more

Flyover is an experience that every tourist will need to try. It's essentially soaring at Disneyland and Disney World, but with a longer duration and higher-quality visuals. We tried the Chicago and the American West for the special deal we found online. Both were excellent. If you're afraid of heights or have vertigo, this might not be the attraction for you. It gets a bit pricey, but the experience is worthwhile. Once you're seated, the chair is all move forward and you are suspended in mid air so your legs are dangling with nothing underneath you. Pro tip: wear shoes. Staff is friendly and each time slot fills up pretty quickly so book early! read more

AMAZING, worth every penny!!! Unexpected emotions because it was such a beautiful immersive experience!!

This is one of my favorite experiences in Vegas that I recommend to all the visitors. They feature: Iceland, American West, Chicago, and Canadian Rockies. Iceland and American West are my favorites. Canadian Rockies is okay. Lots of cold air and snow blown on you. I did not like Chicago b/c it was a lot of going up and down skyscrapers and was kind of dizzying. My poor friend visiting got vertigo from that and couldn't do anything the rest of the day. They have a great little set up with a bar, lockers (free for the first hour or so?) and clean bathrooms and a gift shop. Beautiful area to chill too with floor to ceiling photos. The ride itself is maybe 25 minutes, half of that is watching a movie in a round room with screens on the floor and on a ball and in the background. Then the ride itself is maybe 10-15 minutes. You do feel like you're flying. It reminds me of the Soaring ride at Epcot. It's cheaper to buy two rides at a time and I recommend doing that. Definitely a fun little thing to check out on the Strip. read more

Such a cool thing to do in vegas!!! We had heard of this experience and it did not disappoint. We bought the Midwest experience (USE GROUPON) youll save a little. Once inside because we bought some drinks at the bar we got to purchase the Canada experience. That was also amazing felt like we were flying all over the world. This experience is similar to soaring at Disney if you know you know. We will be back for sure. read more

Another 4.5 stars I wish Yelp would allow me to give, but this time I'm rounding up. FlyOver Las Vegas is like Disneyland's Soarin' on steroids... We got tickets for "Chicago" and it was so, so well done - almost too well done as a number of flyers including yours truly were definitely experiencing vertigo! My one nitpick is that the video portion before the ride is rather long. I suppose it's to help justify the ticket price, but honestly it's not really necessary. read more

When you are not gambling and dining take some time for entertainment during the day. You can see beautiful sites in a simulator type of ride and see lots of different places. You see everything in a huge screen and fly over many different places. The ride is about 30 minutes. We will definitely have a do over. read more

If you've ever been on the California adventure ride then this is exactly like it. An immersive experience where you're flying over the designated city or state that you choose. Theres about 4 different options to choose from or you can get a bundle deal and see multiple. I believe each one is about 30-45 minutes. We did the wonders of the American West and it was so cool to see all the history and different cities. Great experience. There is also a bar that serves both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, some snack and they have a gift shop. read more

Came here with my coworkers on a Wednesday afternoon. We booked the 4PM showing in advance and came 15 minutes early. The hallway to the ride was super cool and we stopped to take photos. There was also another photo area with a green screen and we took some photos there as well before entering the viewing area. We stood in a circle watching a video before going into another room to get seated. We weren't allowed to record but it was a chill experience. The ride was maybe around 10-15 minutes long. We chose the Iceland option and the views were gorgeous. When we flew into the clouds, we felt water spray onto us which was immersive for sure haha. Definitely a family friendly experience! read more

Flyover was my wife and I's first attraction of our trip to the Las Vegas Strip. We checked into our hotel after leaving the airport and walked to it. It was only a twenty minute or so walk from our hotel. Check in was easy. One of the employees was helpful in clearing up some confusions we had about how it all worked. We purchased the two-ride ticket, so we were unsure of how it worked. We opted for the American West and the Chicago ride. Both were amazing, but we liked Chicago the best. They were both about nine minutes or so, not including the pre shows. If you've ever been on the Soarin' attraction at Disney California Adventure, it's basically that, just without Disney's level of production. It was still great quality, though. read more

We decided to do this yesterday on a whim and bought the tickets for the 3:30 PM experience. I thought it was really interesting and I did feel like I was soaring. It's not scary and I would definitely do it again! I really enjoyed the scenery and I felt like I was flying effortlessly over the western part of the US. It was very surreal and I think it would be fun to do this after eating mushrooms. The gift shop offers a lot of memorabilia like sweatshirts and T-shirts and stuffed animals. You know the usual! They also sell food, which did not look very healthy I would say the check-in process was not as flawless as it could've been. All in all I would say it was worth doing and I would come back. I wish I was allowed to take pictures but everyone had to put their phones away. read more

FlyOver Las Vegas delivers a surprisingly elevated Strip experience that goes beyond the typical tourist attraction. I went in expecting something gimmicky and walked out genuinely impressed. The operation is well-organized from start to finish--staff keep things moving efficiently without making it feel rushed. The pre-show is actually worth paying attention to (don't skip it), as it adds context and builds anticipation instead of just filling time. As for the main event: the ride is smooth, immersive, and visually stunning. The combination of motion, wind effects, and subtle scents creates a convincing sensation of flight without being overwhelming. It strikes a nice balance--thrilling enough to be exciting, but accessible for most people. A couple of minor notes: it's on the shorter side for the price point, and seating position can slightly affect your view depending on your row. Still, the overall production quality makes up for it. Pro tip: book in advance and aim for an earlier time slot to avoid heavier crowds. All in all, FlyOver is a solid addition to the Vegas activity lineup--great for visitors and locals who want a break from the usual casino scene. read more

My son absolutely loved this place! He did the Chicago fly over and he was very impressed with the ride. He said it felt very real like you literally were flying over it all.

FlyOver Las Vegas - Amusement Parks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Flyover Las Vegas is one of those attractions that sounds cooler than it actually is. Yes, the experience itself is pretty fun. The immersive technology does a decent job of making you feel like you're flying over different destinations with the motion seats, wind effects, and scenery. It's definitely a cool concept and my wife and I enjoyed the moment while it lasted. The problem? It barely lasts. The actual flying portion felt like less than 7 minutes, which makes the ticket price feel pretty ridiculous for what you get. Another thing that surprised me was the screen quality. The screen is massive, but the resolution looked pretty mediocre. For something marketed as a premium immersive Vegas attraction, I expected much sharper visuals. Also, learn from my mistake and plan your timing better. Parking was $20, and afterwards there really wasn't much for us to do nearby since we had already visited the Coca-Cola and M&M stores. Overall, it's a cool experience once, but between the short runtime and the price, it feels more like a quick Vegas tourist trap than a must-do attraction. read more

Such a cool experience. Anyone who has been to California Adventure and taken a ride on Soarin this is very similar. The cinematography is very well done and we loved the pre ride show. You enter the seats, buckle up and the ride begins. Scenes are complimented with movement, water mist and some scent bursts. We throughly enjoyed both the Canadian Rockies + American West shows. Highly recommend trying it at least once. read more

So much fun ! The staff were super helpful and nice. They have a bar inside. The restroom was super clean. I first did the wonders of the American west and that was such I nice fly over , not scary and not a lot motion. Also sometimes we were able to smell the ocean. It was nice ! There is an area under your chair to put your bags. There is also an extra security belt if you're under a certain height. I believe this is more for kids. I also got on the Chicago Flyover it was so beautiful and nice to see the city especially if you have never been, I will say that flyover had a lot more motion! So if you have motion sickness maybe this wouldn't be the best one to view. Overall great experience, super fun and different from the stuff there is to do on the strip. read more

If you've ever been to Soarin' Over California, the ride at Disney's California Adventure, it's the same type of ride. Unlike the Disney version, there are currently four different "adventures" to choose from, Wild West (South Western USA), Iceland (my favorite) Chicago (least favorite) and Windborne (Canada) There are two pre-shows prior to boarding that talk about how each place was formed. There was a group on the ride with us who sounded like this was the first time they've been on a ride before. It was fun listening to them freak out, in an excited way, about how fun it was and how cool the scenery was. It reminds me of how insanely blessed we are to live in a time where we have cameras that can film paragliders going down snow covered mountains, or racing over stampedes of horses and buffalo. Prior to the last 50 years, humans never saw the world from the vantage point, and definitely not in the extremely high resolution, that cameras brought us today. Combine the video with the technology and engineering of the ride portion, that makes you feel like you're in the video as it sprays water and scents on you, experiencing the natural wonders of the West this way is nothing short of a miracle. It's so easy to get jaded but when you think of this experience in the context of what human eyes have been able to see, you realize how cool it is to be able to see the world like this. Highly recommend. Latest visit (I've been 12 times because this is my go-to to take out of town visitors to experience) July 2025 read more

This was an awesome experience. I was really thinking that it was going to be boring but it was the opposite. I chose the Iceland theme.

What a fun and unique experience to have on the strip! It's great for some family fun. There's a bar inside with some cool drinks, however we decided on just sticking to the ride. There's a lot of cool areas to take nice pictures at as well! When you have your tickets, you'll wait for them to announce the time you have to board. Then you'll wait in a cool little waiting room with assigned numbers. From there they'll take you to another room where you'll watch two videos (one introducing the experience & the other about safety). From there you'll be led to the room where you'll sit and go on the ride. My sister & I had so much fun throughout this experience and look forward to trying different places! read more

The newest flight, Chicago, is amazing! It's got great views and a lot of action. Some of Chicago might be too scary for little kids. But, Iceland, Canada and the West are all great family fun! Great bar, too! read more

We did the fly over Iceland and it was so incredibly fun and beautiful. We are both bigger ladies and we had no issues. The feeling of being in the hang glider is so much fun. There are times where they blow wind in your face and there's a light mist of water. It really helps enhance the realistic feel of it. It is a super fun experience and I definitely recommend it! read more

I loved this experience! I went with the whole family. It's fun for ages 4 and up I'd say. There is a bar in the waiting room and people just come in for that alone, but we came on a good day where there was a huge ticket discount for one of the experiences. So we all went on the ride and had fun, You come in and wait, maybe have a drink. There are lockers by the restroom if you need to secure stuff. When you're called in, your group will take a group picture and then you're off to a room to watch an intro video and then ushered to the ride after that. Once strapped in, you're lifted up and into the experience. When leaving, you'll walk through their souvenir shop where you'll be able to purchase your group picture and buy a lot of other items. It was great overall and I would do it again. If you decide to come, you can buy tickets online or in person. read more

Very interesting concept. We ordered 2 different flyovers, one over the Canadian Rockies and the other over Iceland. The concept is interesting as a group of people sit in seats with seat belts and once the plane starts it goes all over each area. The flight over Iceland much "scarier" than the Canadian Rockies as the plane went up and down, the seats buzzed and a couple of people made noises as they were scared and afraid to fall out. The Canadian Rockies had nice views but much mellower than Iceland. We wish we would have done the Canadian Rockies first but it was a fun time here. read more

One of the best hidden gems on the strip. Very family friendly and lots of fun. My daughter and I will do this again!

Fans of the Soarin' ride at Disneyland will love this seated flying simulator! There are four "experiences" available that you can choose from: Canadian Rockies, American West, Chicago and Iceland. While this is a cool and unique activity, I wouldn't necessarily say that you get the most bang for your buck. If you buy tickets online, it's $37/person for a "single experience" or $51/person for the "double experience". At any given time slot, only two out of four experiences run simultaneously, so if you sign up for more than one, you may incur a wait between the two. We came at 9:00A right when they opened. With our tickets purchased ahead of time, we walked straight back and got checked in for "boarding". They were very well organized and admitted us right on time. Only a couple other groups shared our time slot, so during one of the experiences, we had the entire ride to ourselves. Upon entry, you'll watch an introductory video which provides some context and history on the region that you'll be flying through. A staff member then escorts you up to the seats where you'll get strapped in, do a quick safety check and then you're off! We selected the American West and Chicago as our two experiences. The American West, as you can imagine, included mostly nature scenes that were captured by helicopter. On the other hand, the Chicago one was mainly cityscape and filmed by drone. That said, this one was more of a wild ride since you fly through some tight spaces, so there are several twists and turns. Wind constantly blows to simulate the feeling of flying. If you're early for your time slot, there's a bar available that gets pretty busy in the afternoon. A magic show takes place in the same building, so many people will grab a drink before heading to the show. Beware that prices can be very steep with specialty drinks reaching $19.50. I enjoyed FlyOver, but each experience (about 20 minutes total) is fairly short considering the pricing. While fun, it's not the best value, especially knowing that there are so many things to see and do on the Las Vegas Strip for free. read more

My daughter scheduled this event for us during our recent visit to see her and I was a bit skeptical. However, the ride was very impressive and worth the money.

We would recommend this ride to anybody visiting Las Vegas. read more

Found a great deal for this and decided to try it with family ranging in ages. Was a little worried about potential motion sickness but everyone was fine!

Pro-tip: wear SeaBands or take Dramamine if you're prone to motion sickness (it'll be worth it!) If you've ever done Soarin' Over California this is a mini version of that but much longer experience with some very fun special effects. I wish they'd cut back on the gratuitous water spray, but it's otherwise a fun, exhilarating experience. We did Chicago and Iceland and both had really fun moments. read more

FlyOver Las Vegas - Amusement Parks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Date of visit: September 8, 2025 If you loved Soarin' at DIsney's Epcot and wanted more it, just more expensive, then FlyOver Las Vegas is for you! I have been intrigued by this ever since I saw it pop up on the Strip but the cost had me wary of giving it a whirl. But when we found out that showing our Nathan Burton ticket would get us a discount, we were all in! Even better, if you stop in person and buy in advance you save even more. The combination of discounts is the only reason I am going three stars here as it's a bit disingenuous. More on that later. I will say that all of the employees that we interacted with were friendly and pleasant--a rarity in Vegas these days, so that was a nice bonus. We went with the Iceland option as it's a place that we have wanted to visit but haven't gotten there yet. To call this a 30-minute experience is a bit generous, as you have both a safety video and an odd semi-animated "story" that precedes your flight. Some of it is clearly filler and to be honest I wonder if watching an animated "woman" that would not be out of place in a "Shrek" movie talk about Iceland is wholly appropriate and would love to hear what Icelandic people think about this. The flight itself is admittedly cool, but I came away disappointed in the lack of context. The 15 minutes shows some fascinating landscapes, from hiking fjords to some sort of town's celebration, but there's no voiceover, there's no on-screen captions or context for what you're seeing. Something that would tell you which mountain or landscape we're flying over would be nice. Did we just observe a New Year's celebration in a small Icelandic town? You'll never know! If you're low on things to do in Vegas and you can score a good discount, there are worse ways to spend your money, but there are definite opportunities for improvement here. read more

Incredible! Depending where you are, parking will most likely cost if you're driving. Closest would be at the showcase next door. You'll need to have a phone to scan QR code and pay online. ( that is what we did) The package was but one trip and get a percentage off a second one. They have 5 different journeys. Each ride and process runs about 25 mins with introductory of what you will experience. Chicago experience was exceptional! And Canadian Rockies was enlightening! This is good for even children! I wouldn't skip out. It was an experience that everyone should have. I didn't have high expectations but to my surprise it was worth every penny. No photos or videos allowed :/ read more

I didn't love Flyover as much as the other reviews seem to! This was included with our Go City pass so we decided to check it out. The Go City pass is only good for the Chicago show, and we happened to get there around 30 minutes before the next Chicago show. There is a bar in the lobby while you wait and they announce "boarding" for each showtime. The experience itself was around ~30 minutes, but not all of it is the ride. They show a video first that introduced the audience to some of the people/places we'll see on the ride. It was cute and well-made. That was probably about 10 minutes. The ride itself is almost an exact copy of Disney's Soarin', so if you've been on that it won't be anything new. Fun if you are looking for an amusement park vibe, but I wouldn't go again. read more

We wife wanted to check out the FlyOver in Las Vegas for her birthday and we picked Chicago. The video of Chicago was beautifully done as it captured the heart and soul of the city. So much negativity is shown about the Windy City in the news and this gave a nice positive light over some of the culture that is often overlooked. Loved the video! The flyover ride simulator was fun. I did get a bit of motion sickness as it went up and down (visually). My family loved the experience and want to check out Chicago for our next trip. read more

I really enjoy this experience. This is the second time I've done this ride, with the first time doing the American West Flyover. This time, I decided to check out the Iceland experience. Between the two, I loved the American West Flyover more. Maybe it's my nostalgia of living on the West Coast, but I felt like it was a more relatable experience from flying over the coast of California to the deserts of New Mexico and the spectacular strip view of Las Vegas. This time, I decided to see Iceland. I visited Iceland about 10 years ago so I was looking forward to seeing it again. It was still a fun experience. There is just something so fun about being fully immersed in a film and feeling the elements around you. However, the film to me felt too repetitious. Basically, lots of snow and mountains. The American West had more variety in the scenery with landmarks I could recognize. The only place I could recognize in Iceland was when it flew over Reykjavík. If you have a choice, I'd opt for American West. But overall, it's a really fun experience on the strip for the family. And one that doesn't involve gambling or drinking. read more

Very fun! They have various destinations to choose from. I did the Chicago and Iceland fly over. You start with an introduction about the destination and safety instructions. Then you go into the ride area. You are seated and secure your seat belt. The room is dark and you move forward and start the adventure. You fly over various areas and landmarks. It also incorporated elements like wind and mist. (Iceland was a bit cold so if you get cold easily bring a sweater). Overall, I loved it. It was very realistic and enjoyable. read more

I had booked two 25-minute presentations, one about Iceland and the other about the Canadian Rockies. The theater consists of two side-by-side benches of about a dozen chairs, each requiring seat belts. The banks actually move, so the seat belt thing is really important. During each performance, the seats dip coordinated with what's on the screen. The screen itself is unlike any movie theater screen I've ever seen - it seems very much like a 360-degree visual space, providing breathtaking aerial views recorded by a specially-crafted helicopter that speeds you across the sky. The Iceland views included gorgeous waterfalls, scenes of plate tectonics, and broad spans of mountain views. The Canadian Rockies experience included rough terrain shots blended with First Nation traditional ceremonies celebrating Nature in its most rugged and colorful settings. It should be said the views and the speed of the images might make you a bit queasy - it did so for me, but I've learned that when traveling it helps to focus on the horizon, rather than what's at your sides or below you. There was a fifteen-minute break between the two shows, and I used that time to enjoy something from the Cactus bar, settling things for me in no time. I found both shows entertaining and thrilling; a terrific way to spend part of an afternoon in Las Vegas read more
