    Patrick Romero: Flossing the Sky

When the air inside the balloon gets hotter than the air outside, it gains altitude.  As the air inside the balloon becomes cooler than the outside air, the balloon loses altitude.  Winds differ between altitudes, so pilots move between layers to move the balloon forward, backward, and sideways.

How are balloons inflated?

Once the balloon is laid out, a fan is used to push air through its mouth.  When the fabric is partially inflated, the burners are lit.  As the burners push hot air into the balloon, it fills to the point of standing up.

Are there any requirements to participate?

Passengers must at least be in fair physical condition and able to stand for at least an hour. Participants must weigh less than 250 lbs, at least 5 years of age, and over 44 inches tall to see over the basket.

Take off at sunrise and enjoy the beautiful changing colors of the Mojave Desert. Includes French Champagne toast and complimentary transportation from Las Vegas to the flying area, around one hour west of the Strip. We offer shared or private flights. Learn more or call:

The Ultimate Social Media Background

Conveniently, there is full cell service in the air. The hot air balloon is the perfect place to “go live”, record your stories, and snap the ultimate pic high above the desert landscape, with an unobstructed view. Unlike an airplane, or the cramped space inside of a helicopter, our hot air balloons provide you with a 360° view of our flying area. Even when we reach heights of 10,000 feet or more, you’ll still have cell service!
