VIDEO: Watch A Sneak Peek of the Premiere Episode of Smithsonian Channel's AERIAL CITIES

The most expansive and ambitious aerial series in U.S. television history - AERIAL AMERICA - is taking a closer look at the nation's great urban areas in a new six-part spinoff series, AERIAL CITIES. Each episode reveals fascinating insights in the day and night life of some of America's most famed metropolises: Las Vegas, Chicago, Seattle, Miami, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Along with showcasing each city's iconic landmarks and often-surprising history, the series' 4K cameras capture a bird's-eye perspective of the frenzy of work and play that make each city so distinctive - from morning yoga on Miami Beach to the dizzying job of changing a lightbulb at the top of Seattle's Space Needle and the highest open-air cocktail bar in the Western Hemisphere in L.A.'s newest skyscraper. AERIAL CITIES premieres Sunday, April 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Smithsonian Channel.

Premiere Episode:

LAS VEGAS 24

Premieres Sunday, April 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT

The 24/7 entertainment capital of America requires some truly unique jobs - seen best from the air. Every day, specially trained scuba-diving engineers fine-tune the dancing fountains of the Bellagio, as window washers risk their lives rappelling down the glass pyramid of the Luxor. The colorful casinos, zip lines and shows might draw most of the attention, but just outside town are 200,000 acres of protected wilderness and a colossal pile of stone called Red Rock, a mecca for climbers.
