Cash for your car

They say the best Christmas gifts are those that someone wouldn’t buy for themselves! Located at the always exciting and fun Universal’s CityWalk, iFLY and Samba Brazilian Steakhouse & Lounge have partnered to offer the ‘Dine on the Fly’ promotion. It  includes two indoor-sky-diving flights and two meals. Talk about a unique night out! Great for that perfect date night that’s different, and makes a great Christmas gift idea For only one Ben Franklin ($100), guests can enjoy two flights at “iFLY Hollywood”, L.A.’s only indoor sky-diving wind tunnel, and two meals at CityWalk’s new hot spot, Samba Brazilian Steakhouse & Lounge, an all-you-can-eat Churrascaria serving over 11 types of meat, complemented, with a full salad bar and nightly entertainment.

The  iFLY Hollywood experience replicates the extreme sport of sky-diving by employing two colossal electric fans, the equivalent of over 800 horse-power, to give guests, ages three and above, an authentic and intense free-fall sensation.

It is all carried out in a very professional manner. Certified sky-diving instructors provide individualized training prior to each sky-diving adventure that focuses on safety and a series of hand signaling to communicate within the wind tunnel. Guests will wear authentic sky-diving sports gear, except without the  parachute, and become acquainted with sequences of awesome aerial body maneuvers to elevate the sky-diving experience. Each “iFLY Hollywood” flight session equates to one actual sky-diving jump.  Guests will get to take home  a Certificate of Completion following their flight.

After the adrenaline-pumping iFLY experience, it’s time to wind down and enjoy the Samba Brazilian Steakhouse & Lounge, which offers a traditional Rodizio-style feast serving over 11 types of skewered meats including chicken, pork, lamb, peppered steak and picanha, all served tableside and complemented with a full salad bar.

Samba offers happy hour, Monday through Friday from 5 – 7 pm in the bar and patio area. Nightly live Samba dancers in full festive regalia entertain diners with Brazilian and Latin musical accompaniment beginning at 7:30 pm. Sunday Brunch is served from 11-3 pm offering the traditional Rodizio spread of skewered meats and full salad bar.

Samba features a dedicated Caipirinha bar, serving over two dozen of Brazil’s national cocktail, Caipirinha, including the signature Samba, a Jalapeno-Cucumber and a Basil and Blackberry.  Private lounge areas are available to accommodate private parties.  Samba boasts two locations, Redondo Beach and Universal CityWalk.

The ‘Dine on the Fly” promotion is offered Monday through Thursday and is good for two flights at iFLY and two meals at CityWalk’s Samba Brazilian Steakhouse. For more information, please visit www.iFLYHollywood.com or www.SambaRestaurants.com.
