Stratosphere

[Slotlover]

The Stratosphere allows you to see the Vegas Strip and surrounding Las Vegas from a height of 869 feet. (Personally I think this would be a heart attack in the making for me,:eek:)

The Stratosphere has 3 thrill rides, Insanity, The Big Shot, and X-Scream.

The Big Shot is the world's highest thrill ride at 112 stories, with Insanity being the next highest.

Here is some video of the Insanity and the X-Scream (the Big Shot is so fast that video just shows the people disappearing:)

I think I'll stay on the ground when I get to Vegas - I don't like heights!!:o

You'd like the restaurant at the Stratosphere Hotel, - even though you don't like heights. It is on top of the tower and it rotates and gives you a magnificent view of Vegas.

You can dine by candle light and enjoy the entire view of Vegas out the window.


Not to mention the firework show:

The rides look absolutely amazing but I must think like Slotlover does. I like my feet on the ground lol. I could probably handle the restaurant part though. As long as I am not spinning hundreds of feet up in the air!

I bet you can see the fireworks straight on - instead of having to crane your neck to watch. That would be fabulous!! I'm sure the view is really gorgeous from up there, I'm just not sure I could stand to look, lol.
