Level 109!
The outdoor Observation Deck and the thrill rides are located on Level 109. We felt a little daring one day and hubby and I purchased unlimited rides (until 1:00a) to experience the three thrill rides on the Stratosphere Tower.
First we took a spin on the Insanity! which made me more dizzy than anything. Ugh! We were dangling 983 feet above the Strip. The ride spins passengers at up to 3G's and reaching speeds of up to 40 mph at 70° angle. This ride may not be for you if you easily get dizzy like me.
Next at 866 feet above the Strip we took a plunge over the edge on the XScream! Whee! that was actually fun! We sat in the front seats to get the most thrill out of the ride. We dangled weightlessly 109 stories in the air.
Then we came back to the deck that evening to ride the Big Shot which was on Level 112. This ride was 1149 feet above the Strip where you blast up 160ft. straight in the air and free falling back down... I might have left my heart up there at some point.
You won't find a bigger thrill in all of Las Vegas than these rides. You'd have to be "insane in the membrane"... pure crazy fun! If you're staying in the Stratosphere you get a discount. Tower admission plus all-day pass is $28/person (regular $36). There are various packages available for the rides. Do not go to the Concierge's desk to purchase these tickets. Ticket sales counter is located right by the escalators heading to/from the theater. Don't forget to view your pictures at the end of each ride which are optional to purchase. While you're up there take a look at the majestic Las Vegas Valley for your viewing pleasure.
We did not do the Sky Jump. It wasn't part of the unlimited rides and cost $120 per jump. I'm sure there is a discounted rate for hotel guests but we didn't even bother inquiring.
