Uptown, tourists are coughing up big bucks to catch a glitzy stage show or two in one of the Hotel Casino theatres on the strip.
But, the adventurous few who strike out on their own to the Fremont Street are in for quite a thrilling adrenalin rush, too.
Last night, for instance, the "Riders of the Thunderdome" were wowing rapt audiendes with dare-devil tricks that defied belief.
Imagine a golden globe (the globe of death) 15.3 feet in diameter - crafted in wire mesh - and not 1 - or 2 - but an astounding 3 motorcylists maneuvering their high-performances bikes "inside" the globe at hair-raising speeds!
Wild! Thrilling! Heart-pounding feats!
The manager of the motley crew wistfully recalled that he honed his skills for over two years before taking a risky grasp at the golden ring - er - globe.
"It takes a lot of guts even for a seasoned driver," one spectator noted.
After all, one false move, and it could be uncertain death!
The rag-tag bikers are performing through Sunday January 18th.
(2 shows nightly)
Free!
