| - Even during the day, the $18 to see Las Vegas from the top of the Stratosphere was well worth it as I was so high up, I could see the outlying desert, mountains, the residential areas, the Strip and all the cars looking like tiny legos from so high up. At the observation deck there is both a bar and a restaurant. Getting drunk and going beyond the observation deck to the tippy top of the Stratosphere is likely not a smart decision but it is an option.
You can also laugh at the ballsy denizens on the "Big Shot" ride, in which they are strapped into a machine, brought up around 100 feet and then shot down back to the roof. You also have the option of seeing sky jumpers leap off of the building for 30 seconds at a time. I think they were attached to some rigging, if not, YOLO for them. Should you visit Vegas, definitely make the trek up here once, if just to see what all the fuss is about.
