LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

Daredevils can help out a local charity by taking a ride on a popular zip line.

Proceeds from Wednesday's rides at the Flightlinez zip line at the Fremont Street Experience will go to Opportunity Village.

Opportunity Village is a nonprofit organization that helps people with intellectual disabilities find jobs and live more fulfilled lives.

The zip line rides cost $15 from noon to 6 p.m.

They go up to $20 from 6 p.m. to midnight.
