I didn’t get any great photos of\/from the Stratosphere. The views are fantastic and worth the $10 cab ride from the strip. And if you’re really adventurous, there are a number of thrill seeking activities you can experience from the top of the tower.<\/p>\n

Insanity<\/em> and Skyjump<\/em> allow you to hang off the side of the tower and either spin, dangle or bungee jump; we saw a few people go up in extreme gear for the Skyjump<\/em>. The Big Shot<\/em> and the X-Scream<\/em> are two of the three highest thrill ride in the world.<\/p>\n

For those people less adventurous and\/or afraid of heights: the observation deck is pretty generic. You can see all of Las Vegas from the deck and throughout there are movie and Las Vegas trivia tidbits to keep you entertained.<\/p>\n

One such tidbit: more than 2000 couples get engaged on the Stratosphere every year.<\/p>\n
