Stratosphere Las Vegas

Imagine what is on the top of this tower? Do you want to pay a visit?

Strap in and prepare to be shot 160 feet in the air at 45 miles per hour. This 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.

Get ready to be propelled 27 feet over the edge of the tower, 866 feet above the ground, head first.

A massive mechanical arm extends 64 feet over the edge of the tower at a height of over 900 feet and spins you in the open air at at speeds up to 3 Gs. You’ll be propelled up to an angle of 70 degrees, which will tilt your body facing straight down.

I would like to pay it visit but I don’t think I would ever go into any of those thrill rides! ;)

I stayed there in Feb… think goodness the ride was closed. Not my thing nor my 57 year old Mom’s thing who came with me.
