The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower

The more than 2,400 well-priced guest rooms, mini and premier suites at the ideally located Stratosphere means guests have their pick of anything from soothing spa accommodations to luxurious penthouse suites. And as indulgent as the lodgings are, the real fun is right outside the door at any of the property’s many attractions and amenities, including the fabulous pools, restaurants, bars, and casino floor. Guests are whisked from the ground floor to the observation decks in less than 35 seconds via double-decker elevators traveling at speeds of 1,800 feet per minute or three floors a second.

Once you’ve arrived, you can ride the Big Shot, which shoots riders 160 feet in the air in 2.5 seconds; Insanity, a massive mechanical arm that extends over the tower and spins you at 3Gs; or X-Scream, a teeter-totter-like ride that tilts passengers 30 feet over the edge of the tower. SkyJump Las Vegas, a controlled free-fall over 800 feet, adds another breathtaking way to see the Las Vegas Strip.

If you’re looking for a different kind of a thrill, browse the 50 specialty shops in The Tower Shops, lounge by the 67,000-square-foot resort pool and recreation deck with live music or play in the 80,000-square-foot gaming area. The bright, cheery casino offers competitive gaming odds, more than 1,200 slot machines, table games, poker room and race and sports book. Inside the Theatre of the Stars, you can choose from two incredible shows. “American Superstars” is a tribute to today’s and yesterday’s hottest stars, Elvis Presley, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Michael Jackson and Britney Spears. BITE is an erotic and sensual topless revue based on deliciously evil vampires with a simple story line of sin, sex and seduction.
