** tower review**
I had a night alone in LV, and my friend told me I had to check out the Stratosphere. It's on the Boulevard but away from the Strip, so you're unlikely just to find yourself there. I appreciated seeing another part of LV, though, that wasn't just the Strip. The area is a little less plastic, maybe a little rough around the edges.
There was about a 15 minute wait on a Sunday night to get to the top of the Tower. There are great views of LV unlike what you'd see elsewhere. There are places to sit so you can admire the view for a while.
Of course, there are also the rides at the top of the Tower, which can hang people off the side of the Tower. If you like that kind of thing, the views and exhilaration must be top notch.
At the top, you'll also find a store and a bar.
Definitely a unique LV experience. You'll realize how small we humans really are above the lights.
