So, the Fella and I had a great spontaneous weekend in Vegas. Business trip layover that turned into a little holiday for us, complete with show and gambling. Yay! The Fella had heard through the grapevine that lunch at the Stratosphere was delicious, and a bit of a better deal than the dinner, so we tried it out before I schlepped off to the airport. Pretty much everything on the lunch menu was around $20, and that included the price of the ride up to the top. After our meal we were also able to go to the indoor observation deck, and would have gone to the outdoor deck as well, but it had closed due to a lightning storm.
Let me say, I was a little nervous... not about the height, but about the rotation. I get seriously motion sick, and even just the swaying of the tower could make me ill. Fortunately, it seems that the circumference of the rotating area must be larger than other rotating places I've eaten, because I was able to enjoy the sweeping mountain views, and the top notch prime rib! The Fella isn't usually an atmosphere kind of guy, but he LOVED it (the steak helped, too). We'll be back!
