Stratosphere Tower thrill rides and skyline reputation

The Stratosphere Tower (now branded The STRAT) rises to 1,149 feet and dominates the Las Vegas skyline. Its observation deck and rooftop thrill rides-Big Shot, X-Scream, and Insanity-are well-known locally and feature in many stories about daredevil attractions on the Strip. The tower is a frequent subject of Las Vegas lore about extreme entertainment and panoramic city views.
