On the first day of 2019, Las Vegas Strip’s first and only zipline; FLY LINQ is opened when superheroes went sky-high to become the first to fly into 2019, high above The LINQ Promenade.
Ten fliers donned FLY LINQ-branded superhero ensembles to kick off the new year. As they soared above The LINQ Promenade, festive confetti cannons positioned along the open-air entertainment district detonated in celebration of this new, $20 million attraction.
