Stratosphere Tower
At 1,149 feet, the Stratosphere Tower is the tallest freestanding observation
tower in the United States and the tallest building west of the Mississippi
River. From the observation decks, lounge, restaurant, meeting, banquet
and private dining rooms, guests enjoy panoramic views of the Las Vegas
Strip and the surrounding valley.
Visitors are whisked from ground level to the observation decks in less
than 30 seconds in double decker elevators traveling at speeds of 1,800
feet per minute or three floors a second.
Thrill seekers can enjoy excitement over 100 stories above the ground on
the Big Shot thrill ride and the High Roller roller coaster. For the less
daring, there is the Strat-O-Fair midway attraction. The Strat-O-Fair features
a renovated Ferris Wheel circa 1958, and a child size Little Shot. The
décor is a 1960s view of the future and is complete with 3-D Hyper Bowl,
midway games and two food outlets.
The Tower is open from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and
10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday, Saturday and holidays. The tower is equipped
with a special lighting system designed to provide a spectacular dancing
light show nightly, which is visible throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
