LAS VEGAS — There's a new way to get high in Las Vegas, and it's perfectly legal.
The recently inaugurated Cloud Nine Balloon is a 20-minute attraction that gives a bird's-eye view of the Las Vegas Strip day and night.
It's not a traditional helium balloon outing, since riders don't float for miles. Cloud Nine remains tethered to the ground at the south end of the Strip near the Mandalay Bay resort.
But about two dozen riders can rise about 500 feet in the air, and the balloon can be reserved for intimate Champagne outings and to elevate wedding and birthday fetes.
Cloud Nine, which opened in October, also offers views of the vast CityCenter complex, which is due to open in December. The cost of a flight is $22.50 for adults in the daytime; $27.50 at sunset and later at night. Flights don't go when the wind is high.
Children 12 and under soar for $17.50 in the day; $22.50 at sunset and later. Kids 4 and under fly free. There is a $5 discount for locals, military and teachers with ID. Information: cloud9vegas.com; 800-585-8688.
