Vegas Casinos Luxor and Excalibur Connected by Zipline? It’s Happening!

vegas casino ziplineMGM Resorts International is planning to string up zip lines between the Luxor and Excalibur.

There’s no tentative timeline for the new attraction, which will involve three lines including one connected to the apex of the Luxor’s pyramid. MGM representatives say it could be a unique alternative to simply walking between the casinos, and serve as a tamer thrill ride than bungee jumping.

The idea follows the successful installation of a zip line attraction at The Fremont Street Experience on the north end of the strip, and more news will be posted here as it becomes available. Thanks to Gizmodo.com for the information.
