The STRAT SkyPod observation deck and thrill-ride installations

The STRAT's SkyPod sits atop the Stratosphere tower, which rises to 1,149 feet, and contains observation decks offering panoramic views of Las Vegas. The SkyPod area also houses several exterior thrill-ride installations (including Big Shot, X-Scream and Insanity) that operate from the tower's upper levels. These observation and ride installations are permanent features of the hotel-casino complex and are ticketed attractions.
