That’s Incredible: Watch parachuter jump off of Vegas’ Eiffel Tower

So two guys jumped 541 feet off Paris Las Vegas’ Eiffel Tower on Tuesday. Fortunately it wasn’t because they lost their life savings at the casino inside.
Red Bull crazy people/professional Red Bull jumpers Miles Daisher and Mike Swanson took to the sky for a stunt celebrating the 125th anniversary of the original Eiffel Tower in Paris-Paris, yeah the one in France.
Our 15-year-old Eiffel Tower here in Vegas (I like saying “our” as if I built it myself) is an exact duplicate, at half scale of the real one in Paris-Paris.
The jumpers landed next to the replica Arc de Triomphe. Then they partied with mimes and balloon artists? Yes, they did, according to Caesars Entertainment’s roundup of events, which they sent along with these photos and videos. Enjoy.
By the way, the Vegas Eiffel Tower will be hosting some smaller lovey-dovey things this year, including something called “Locks on the Bridge,” an ode to a similar thing in Paris-Paris whereby lovers secure “a personalized lock to the iconic bridge next to the Eiffel Tower Experience.”
By the way part two: Paris Las Vegas is where I go when I don’t want to be found. So if you ever can’t get a hold of me, that’s where you might find me, hiding from stress.
