Max Flight Simulator

A two-seat capsule at Excalibur's entrance that loops and rolls a full 360 degrees in sync with coaster video — about $27 for a short, genuinely intense novelty flight.

Max Flight Simulator

Is the Max Flight Simulator Worth It? Review

Max Flight is a two-seat motion capsule parked just inside the main entrance of Excalibur, in the arcade area — and its party trick is full 360-degree rotation on both axes. The pod pitches, rolls, loops and hangs you upside down in sync with roller-coaster video, which the operator bills as the only simulator of its kind. Tickets run about $27 per rider with taxes and fees included when booked online.

Honest math before you swipe: the motion program itself lasts only a few minutes, tickets are per person even though the pod seats two, and the whole thing sits in a busy, noisy casino walkway — a novelty stop, not a headline attraction. The 360-degree inversions are genuinely intense, so skip it if motion sickness, pregnancy or neck and back issues are in play. Height rules are firm: 42 inches to ride with an adult, 48 to ride alone, 500 pounds combined per capsule. On the plus side, the single pod rarely queues long, and the location by the pedestrian bridges and the free Luxor–Mandalay Bay tram makes it an easy add-on to a south-Strip walk.

Insider tipRide before dinner, not after — and if there are two of you, you'll share one capsule anyway, so pick the braver friend's playlist of screams to sync with.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Max Flight ride?

The motion program runs just a few minutes — budget 20 to 30 minutes total once the briefing and harness check are added. It's priced as a novelty hit, not a long experience.

Where is Max Flight in Las Vegas?

Just inside the main entrance of Excalibur at 3850 S Las Vegas Blvd, in the arcade area on the south Strip — by the pedestrian bridges to New York-New York and the free tram to Luxor and Mandalay Bay. An older MaxFlight out at Buffalo Bill's in Primm is permanently closed.

What are the height and weight requirements?

At least 42 inches tall to ride with an adult, 48 inches to ride alone, and the two riders' combined weight must stay under 500 pounds. Access is governed by height and weight, not age.

What makes it different from a normal simulator?

The capsule rotates a full 360 degrees on both axes — it actually loops and hangs you inverted rather than just tilting, which is why the operator markets it as one of a kind. Part flight simulator, part coaster.

How much does it cost?

About $27 per rider online, taxes and fees included. Beware non-refundable reseller listings — book the flexible option or buy at the machine if your plans are loose.

Will it make me sick?

If any ride will, this one — sustained 360-degree rotation is the whole product. Riders prone to motion sickness, pregnant guests and anyone with neck or back problems should watch from the rail instead.
