The Stratosphere Hotel and Tower
Soaring 1,149 feet above the ground, the Stratosphere is visible from most points on the Strip. The Stratosphere tower is the tallest building west of the Mississippi, and thrill seekers will appreciate the rides offered. You can choose from being shot straight up the tower in the Big Shot, getting spun in a massive mechanical arm at the edge of the tower in the Insanity ride, or getting propelled on a giant teeter-totter over the edge of the tower in the X Scream.
In addition to the 80,000-square-foot casino, the Stratosphere amenities include six dining options, two bars, a race and sports book, a spa, indoor and outdoor fitness centers, and two pools including an outdoor 15,000-square-foot swimming pool. The hotel also offers its visitors Internet access and airport shuttle for a fee.
