America’s highest observation tower at 1,149 feet above street level. Atop the tower are two extreme rides, one of them is “Let It Ride High Roller” coaster, which is fittingly the world’s highest rollercoaster. The second is the “Big Shot” freefall ride, which shoots patrons 160 feet into the air, and then drops them down to a point 800feet above street level. Quick tip: it’s scary. The Stratosphere has free shops at the bottom, however if you want to go to the top for great views of the city, it will cost you $10.

The total price (per person) of your trip is an approximate value. Our members enter prices in ranges (ie. 10 - 20 USD per entree at a restaurant). Then, depending on the travel style you have selected for yourself, we estimate how much we think you would spend (ie. If your travel style is "inexpensive," you would probably end up spending $10 at the mentioned restaurant). It's all hokey science, but if you are like us and travel on a budget, knowing approximately how much you will spend on a trip is of utmost importance.
