Stratosphere Tower

DOWNTOWN. This lofty tower is a Vegas landmark, and while it offers great views, it's also known for being home to four heart-stopping attractions. Set 900 feet in the air, they're the true definition of "thrill rides." Insanity the Ride suspends people 64 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower and turns them straight down. The massive, teeter-totter-like X-Scream sends folks plunging toward the city streets below. And the Big Shot catapults visitors upward, 160 feet into the air at 45 miles per hour. Remember, all of this happens 100 stories above the ground – definitely not for the faint of heart!
