| Balloon animals may look cute, but even the horses are incredibly hard to ride. Board a more buoyant balloon with today's Groupon: for $249, you get a sunrise hot air balloon flight for two with Vegas Balloon Rides (a $590 value). Vegas Balloon Rides offers bird's-eye views of the majestic Red Rock Mountains and the neon-trimmed Vegas Strip from heights of up to 1,000 feet. The one-hour sunrise flight begins a half hour before dawn, with a brief briefing about dirigible do's and don'ts. Watch the modest balloon's ego inflate to more than 10 stories tall, then climb aboard the gondola to anxiously await takeoff. Airborne adventurers drift silently over the city and float high above the calm countryside, keeping eyes peeled for people that look like ants, and silos that look like people. Upon anchoring, enjoy one of the oldest balloon-borne traditions with a champagne toast to windward travel. Flight patterns and landing sites can vary, depending on the prevailing winds, so allow up to four hours for the entire adventure. Read More | How can investing in gold save your marriage? |  | |  |
