    Stratosphere Rooftop Rides,

    Look UP, yes UP, to see the rooftop rides on the Stratosphere, you are so far below them you can barely see them. You can see from the first picture just how far above the ground you are. The second picture shows the roller coaster. The third picture shows the "Rail Cars" which shoots you off the edge of the building. The fourth picture shows what it looks like when the rail cars reach the "end of the rail" and then drop off the end....you can see the rail car from inside the restaurant ^O^ and you can also hear the screams of the people when the car "drops" off the edge, even through the soundproof glass ...
    The last picture shows the "Swinging Chairs", looks innocent enough doesn't it, but wait till you see more........

    Thrill Rides: Stratosphere Tower...

  • Stratosphere Tower roller-coaster
    On top of the highest structure west of the Mississippi, the tower in the Stratosphere hotel in Vegas, there is a *wonderful* roller-coaster. It has got to be the scariest possible ride, since it's far above the ground, overlooking all of Las Vegas and the mountains. But WHAT COULD BE MORE FUN?

    This is the coaster I was talking about. Its alot of fun just b/c of how high it is. Not very fast, but still pretty fun.

    Just go to the top of the Stratophere Hotel here are what must be without doubt the most crazy rides ever, when I was there last year (2004) there were just the two rides , I believe there are now three ? My inteetion was to go on the one which fires you out over the edge then drops about 4ft just to watch from the observation floor is a Mad ..Have a Go if you Dare

  • You must go up in the lift at the Stratisphere and ride on the Big Shot. What an experience.
    You feel as if the restraints are lifted high and you could fall out - in fact you feel as if you will land face down on the strip. he he
    The best and worst thrill ride of your life, and not to be missed, if you dare.
    The hotel facilities is good too so could spend a day there or evening.

    Thrill Rides: Star Trek Experience

  • A must for all even if you are not a fan of Star Trek, this attraction is for all ages. Part ride, part you-are-there theater, The Experience utilizes a motion simulator, movie-like sets and live actors to immerse guests in Gene Roddenberry's 24th century. The Borg Invasion 4D was added in 2004 to complement the long-running Klingon Encounter. and then browse the unusual gift store or grab a meal in the Trek-themed Quark's Restaurant & Bar. Star Trek: The Experience is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.. General admission is $29.99.

    From the screams we heard coming from the coaster, it sounds like it's a lot of fun. It was fun to see the mini-scrapers from home, but without the hundreds of cabs it just wasn't realistic.

    High Roller rollercoaster & Big Shot
    Highest rollercoaster in the world. Feels like you're falling off the casino
    Big Shot shoots you up 160 ft into the air. Both are phenomenal rides for the mere novelty of them. Don't miss doing either.
