After all the years I've been going to Vegas I can't believe this is the first time I've ventured to the top of the stratosphere! I think I just assumed it was another gimmicky Vegas thing and didn't want to pay for it. But that is the best part of Level 107 lounge. We didn't have to pay to go up! At least not to the lounge. I think you can pay up to $18 a person to go to the top, but why if you can stop a little below, still get a great drink and good food with almost the same view! and the food is really good!!!! I will be dreaming of their pork belly appetizer until I return! The carpaccio was a little lacking but I'm really specific about how it's prepared, so I wouldn't hold that against them. We both had a sangria which was perfect because we were in more of a refreshing drink state of mind, and this fit the bill. So if you are like me and hate paying for touristy stuff, just go for the lounge. It's worth it!!!
