Went at about 1130pm. There was very short line. I had the vip skip the line. But still had to wait in the line. People here seem to hate their jobs. Rude. They don't tell you where to go, just want to take pictures and make a buck. If you don't like your job find another one. Your dealing with tourists. Also, I had a bag with unopened sodas from the store to take back to my hotel. The employees seem kind of fake. They said you couldn't take it up to the tower. It is in convenient to go up to my hotel and come back to the stratosphere tower. There are no signs saying I couldn't bring unopened drinks/sodas. Also security is suppose to have you open your own bag that is how most other places operate. This security guard opened my bag.
