Is It A Big Balloon? Actually, It’s The Worlds Biggest

The world’s largest helium-filled, land-tethered balloon has launched in Las Vegas.

The giant balloon is is seven stories wide and 11 stories tall and contains 210,000 cubic feet of helium. But it is also tethered to the ground by a pulley system.

Cloud Nine will be used to take up to 30 people 500 feet above the famous strip on 10-15 minute rides.

This attraction is not difficult to find. It’s located directly across from Mandalay Bay on the south end of the Strip – it can be seen from miles away.
