iFLY to bring indoor skydiving experience to popular Las Vegas immersive entertainment district
iFLY Indoor Skydiving is proud to announce a new location coming to Las Vegas’ immersive entertainment and events district, AREA15. The location will be a welcome addition to the burgeoning area, offering the same great iFLY experience that fliers have come to expect. The new iFLY will be complete with the latest vertical wind-tunnel technology, state-of-the-art media management systems and flying progression programs, a professionally designed facility that will please first-time fliers and professionals alike, STEM education events, private rooms for birthday parties, corporate meetings, and more.
“iFLY is thrilled to announce our expansion into Las Vegas,” said Matt Ryan, CEO of iFLY. “As a leader in global tourism, Las Vegas is a place like nowhere else, and we’re working hard on an exciting design that will mark iFLY Las Vegas as one of our flagships.” Patrick Framel, iFLY’s VP of Global Development added, “We couldn’t imagine a better location for iFLY than AREA15, where we will join Meow Wolf & other innovators in experiential entertainment.”
iFLY is a sports and recreation company with the mission to deliver the dream of flight. The company pioneered the body-flying “indoor skydiving” experience and is the world leader in vertical wind tunnel technology. Guests don’t need to be athletes or in the best shape of their life; iFLY’s world-class instructors are pros at making flying fun for everyone.
Each location features iFLY’s signature wind tunnels, which feature a fresh air advantage over other experiences. This creates a fun and safe activity to do indoors with your loved ones. Advanced wind tunnel technology provides guests with clean air while flying by recirculating and refreshing the air from outside the iFLY facilities. Tested and proven, iFLY’s wind tunnels create an environment at least 10x fresher than the average store or gym—even at slow wind speeds.
iFLY will become a tenant partner in AREA15’s new 20-acre expansion of the immersive entertainment district. AREA15 opened to the public in September 2020 and has attracted more than 5 million visitors since opening. AREA15 was named the Most Visited Attraction in the United States by Placer.ai, in 2022.
“We are thrilled to welcome iFLY to the AREA15 District,” said Winston Fisher, chief executive officer AREA15. “The synergy between iFLY and AREA15 is undeniable. Both companies are committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s next in immersive entertainment, and we are both driven to create unforgettable moments of wonder and excitement for our guests. iFLY’s state-of-the-art indoor experience will bring AREA15’s District expansion to new heights, literally.”
iFLY’s new destination will be located a few minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, next to Interstate 15 and nestled in the center of the AREA15 District, surrounded by other experiential and location-based entertainment companies, unique food and beverage offerings and immersive event venues. iFLY Indoor Skydiving looks forward to announcing more details about the new tunnel with the opening date later in the year.
