1. El Loco at Adventuredome Canyon Blaster is classic, but it’s been eclipsed by this beast. You’ll dive 90 feet at 90 degrees, tip on outside-banking turns and hang like a bat on two protracted loops.
2. X-Scream at Stratosphere A terrifying teeter-totter. Slide back and forth over the edge of the 866-foot-tall observation deck as the titling track threatens to spill you onto Las Vegas Boulevard.
3. Wild Surf at Cowabunga Bay The initial dark, 60-foot-tall tunnel is a cakewalk compared to the eventual drop into a giant fiberglass wave, a drenching parabola loaded with airtime.
4. Desperado at Buffalo Bill’s Age has made Primm’s mile-plus-long steel monster a rougher ride, threatening to buck you off—and that’s its appeal (along with that faith-checking, 225-foot drop).
5. Zoomline at Fremont Street Experience Scale the 11-story tower and live out your Superman fantasy as you blur past the Fremont Street Experience riffraff.
