Stratosphere Observation Deck

Take the elevator up to the one of the most awesome views on The Strip – high atop The Stratosphere’s Observation Deck. Aside from stellar views, there are rides up there designed to get that adrenaline pumping. There’s Big Shot, which is like a giant elevator that pulls riders up to nearly the top of The Strat, and then drops them back down; Insanity - The Ride, which throws people 64 feet over the edge of the hotel, legs in the air, and then spins that at ridiculously fast speeds; and X-Scream, which swings people over the ledge where the hang weightless, before being pulled back in and swung out again. For those who want to spend a pretty penny, the SkyJump is the highest controlled free fall in the world. For a little more than $100, the participant is connected to a descender, then drops down more than 100 floors.
