The STRAT (Stratosphere Tower)

The STRAT is a 1,149-foot observation tower on the Las Vegas Strip and is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States. Its observation decks and top-of-tower thrill rides (Big Shot, X-Scream, Insanity) draw visitors specifically to the site. Tourists and thrill-seekers commonly travel to Las Vegas to ascend the tower for panoramic views of the city and surrounding desert.
