Stratosphere is located at the northern
end of the Strip, away from the main attractions, but a
visit here is well worth it. The resort has one of the Las
Vegas landmarks, the Stratosphere Tower which is 1149 ft
(350 m) tall. From the top of the tower you get great views
of the city. The views from Eiffel Tower offer more detail
but here you can get a feeling of how big Las Vegas is; the
mountains in the distance make for a great background. Also
at the top two rides are offered, a rollercoaster and a
free-falling thingy called The Big Shot. I didn't try any of
them but I can tell that they look scary.
Apart from the tower you'll find everything of what is offered
in a Strip resort: the casino which is located on the ground level;
shops, restaurants and a 1500 rooms hotel. We stayed here once
and we enjoyed the room and their all you can eat buffet.
