Destinations for Daring Travelers

You don’t have to be daring to tour New York City’s Museum of Modern Art, unless you are a parent with a young child, who decides to visit the legendary art institute during a nude exhibition.

Ironically, it’s not the naked models you have to worry about. Rather, it’s the perverted patrons, who are touching the nude performers that you’ll want to shield your kids’ eyes from.

According to museum officials, more than a dozen visitors have been escorted out of the gallery after pushing, prodding, and poking nude performers.

The performers are part of Marina Abramovic’s new exhibition highlighting the human body. It includes naked men and women posing in a narrow doorway that visitors can pass through. In another part of the museum a naked woman reclines with a fake skeleton on top of her.

Unfortunately, some museum patrons simply don’t know how to keep their hands to themselves and have been caught touching the live art. Visitors caught doing so are given the boot, but still, who wants to see some bozo touching a nude performer?

If looking at naked people posing in a museum is not daring enough for you, then consider vacationing in Las Vegas where you can free fall more than 800 feet from the top of a popular hotel.

SkyJump Las Vegas is calling all highflying daredevils to its latest thrill ride. The company has set-up the world’s highest controlled free fall, which plunges fearless tourists 830 feet from the 108th floor of the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino at speeds of 40 mph.

For $99.99 you can make history in Sin City. According to the folks at SkyJump Las Vegas, they are aiming for the Guinness World Record for “highest commercial decelerator descent” facility, currently held at Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Center. The Macau drop is reportedly 764.4 feet. So, for 100 bucks you can be part of the world’s record… if you dare.
