This was a great experience as a local. You have a view of the entire strip and an amazing view of the city as well. For travelers I would suggest as soon as you enter the doors to grab a seat facing the doors you just entered as The Strip view will be coming up from that side. Beverages are allowed as long as they're not in a glass and they do check bags before entering. Our total adventure was 30 minutes in total and we had a breathtaking city/strip view at the very top.
