With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today during our fall member drive. 

This summer, a new restaurant will open up in Vegas where diners can get a real rush, and it's not just from the wine. Dinner in the Sky will be serving meals from 180 feet up, suspending its 22 diners high above the Strip.

Perhaps playing on the same aerial fascination that once captured audiences at Aureole, where sommelier angels fly around to pick up wine bottles off their vertical wine cellar, Dinner in the Sky hopes to offer a unique culinary experience.

All of the food will be prepared on the ground, then finished off up in the air.

“This is definitely an extreme, exhilarating feel,” Janeen Hinden, chief executive, told the LA Times Travel section back in January. “There’s no floor, so your feet will dangle. You’re up there sitting in a Formula One race-car seat fastened in. The food is prepared and sent around the table by your chef. It’s just really an incredible dining experience.”

Of course, as with most things in Vegas, it doesn't come cheap. Living up to it's sky high name, dinner goes for $290. You can make your reservations here.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
