I went to Stratosphere for lunch (Top of the World Restaurant) and extreme rides (Stratosphere Thrills). It's best to make reservations for Top of the World. Guest can purchase tickets for extreme rides online (save you a lot of time). The views from the top of Stratosphere are amazing. It's a great place to take pictures of Vegas. Arriving early for extreme rides and lunch is a good idea. The elevator line can become very long at peak hours. I didn't stay at Stratosphere but it's a cool place to visit. Definitely put Stratosphere on your Las Vegas bucket list.
