A Rush of Adrenaline at 1,081 ft
March 18, 2008 - 1,870 views
The signature attraction of the Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas is , of course, the Tower, standing at a whooping 1,149 ft (350 m) in the air. It’s the tallest construction in Nevada and the second tallest in the US, after the Kennecott Smokestack in Magna, Utah. The hotel is separated from the Tower, having 20 stories, 2,444 rooms and an 80,000 square foot (7,000 m²) casino. What you’ll see below is the Big Shot, the highest ride in the world at 1,081 feet (329 m):

WOW, i’ve been bungee jumping, but this is so awesome. Now i think of it, i would like to try it, but (now i’m older) i think i would be really scared
Wow, wow, wow!
I’m definitely going there when I can.
Going bungee jumping and sky diving this coming summer too :).
I head to Vegas from AZ quite frequently and have been on all the Stratosphere rides. Very fun, but you have to be careful. On any given trip at least one ride is closed for safety violations. The roller coaster was closed for months at one point.
Actually that’s not Big Shot. Big Shot is the is hydraulic freefall drop tower at the Stratosphere which is barely visible in the 4th photo. You have two different rides pictured from the Stratosphere: Insanity ( the claw-like ride) and X Scream ( the teeter-totter like coastercar ride).
Wow, that’s crazy … i’ld love to be there
