Stratosphere Hotel & Casino
2000 Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada Take a rapid journey aboard a double decker elevator at a speed of 3 floors per second to an observation deck on the top of the 1,149-foot Stratosphere Tower, the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. Located at the Stratosphere Casino Hotel, the Stratosphere Tower boasts a spectacular panoramic view of the Las Vegas Strip, along with the famous Top of the World Restaurant and Lounge. In addition, enjoy four thrill rides set more than 100 stories above ground: Insanity-The Ride (a spinning ride that dangles passengers over the edge of the tower before whirling them around at speeds approaching 40 miles per hour), Big Shot (a thrill ride that shoots passengers 50 meters into the air at a force of 4G's before letting them free-fall back to the launching pad) and X Scream (which teeters riders over the edge of the tower 900 feet above the ground)!
