The Stratosphere

The stratosphere tower is absolutly fantastic it makes for a great family outing or a lovely day out for couples.
The views from the top of the tower are phenominal and breathtaking wheather you go in the day or at night.
I went to see both as I loved the views so much .
The Rides = There are three incredible thrill rides also at the of of the tower 1. Insanity ... '' A massive mechanical arm extending out 64 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower at a height of over 900 feet ''
2. x-scream... '' With a space age, yet simplistic design resembling a massive teeter-totter unlike anything you've ever seen, the X-Scream will propel you and several other riders head-first, 27 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower.''
3. Big shot ... ''in a matter of seconds, the Big Shot thrill ride catapults 16 riders from the 921-foot high platform up the Tower's mast to a height of 1,081 feet and down again.''

I rode on them all and had the time of my life... my dad and his girlfriend were too scared to get on any of them so they just watched ... If you can only handle one ride however I think x-scream was the best because the views totally hit you when your sitting over them
Warning definatly not for the faint - hearted or anyone that has any form of vertigo lol.

If you want a great day and evening out you should purchase the show, dinner and tower package which is around $52 which includes one ticket to the show AMERICAN SUPERSTARS (its a celebrity tribute and well worth the money the Michael Jackson tribute was awesome and the Christina tribute was inspiring Ive never heard anyone sound more like Ms. Aguilera than the woman herself.) one dinner buffet, two drinks and one tower pass.
you can meet the stars after the show and have picture time :)

overall I think that the sratosphere tower is one of las vegas' best attractions and should be added to the ''must do'' list.
