The balloon is seven stories wide and 11 stories tall and contains 210,000 cubic feet of helium. It’s tethered to the ground by a pulley system.
Prices run from $22.50 to $27.50 for adults, depending on the time of day, and flights typically last 10 to 12 minutes. Cloud Nine also runs family packages and is planning to introduce locals, military and teacher discounts in the coming weeks.
With election time coming any of you that want to put your campaign sign on the balloon can consider the feasibility.
The cost for advertising on the balloon will be about $100,000 a month, similar to the price of building wraps in Las Vegas, Rhine said.
At $100,000 a month I decided my feasibility level was zero.
