single ride. Another, Chaos, whirls
passengers in three ranges of motion.
Big Apple Coaster: Looking some
heart-stopping action away from the
casino tables? Visit New York, New
York and hop on the Big Apple Coaster. Said to be the world's first coaster
with a 180-degree " heartline " twist.
Big Shot: Experience the yin
and the yang of blasting straight
up 160 feet and then free falling
back to earth. That's the Big Shot
experience at the Stratosphere. If
you want something a little more
sedate, then Insanity, also at the
Stratosphere, will deliver by dangling you over the edge 900 feet
above the Strip.
Desperado: How far will you travel

to experience one of the tallest roller
coasters in the country? If 40 miles is
within your range, then drive to Buffalo
Bills in Primm, Nevada, where a 225foot drop at a 55 degree angle awaits
your arrival.
Wet 'N' Wild: Two pools and 10 water slides at this water park will help everyone beat the heat. Located at 7055
S. Fort Apache Rd., in Las Vegas.

during the 2015 NRPA Annual Conference with a stroll down the Strip or a
stop at one of the intriguing attractions
mentioned here, you're certainly in for a
dose of extra fun. We hope these activities add to your experience in Las Vegas
and inspire you with great ideas!
