At 1,149 feet, the Stratosphere Tower is the tallest observation tower in the United States. The view from the 109th-floor deck is truly spectacular, and the rides on top are hair-raising.

Its uppermost spire is visible from nearly anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley. Some even choose to climb on board the Big Shot at floor 113 and fly an additional 160 feet into the heavens on a burst of compressed air.
