I am trying to remember the day when this snapshot was taken. When I looked at the embedded date of the image below, I knew what took place that day. It is almost four years now but it is still fresh in my mind when my sister and her hubby drove me to Mc Carran International airport in Las Vegas for my return flight to Europe. We also had a stop at Luxor that time for a last minute sightseeing. I forgot to stop-by in one of its shops to look for Zinwell. I did tried to search it online and found it anyway.

I did not wasted my time on my last day in Las Vegas. Looking at the clear blue skies, I took a snapshot of the Stratosphere. It was not a perfect shot but I am happy to have almost a full view of the tower. I can't wait to visit Las Vegas again..hopefully this year..in God's will!

The first tower hotel that I have seen is Stratosphere Las Vegas. It is considered to be the tallest tower in Las Vegas and the 5th-tallest structure, in the United States. It is said to have a height of 1,149 ft (350 m). Sad to say, I was not able to go-up on top of it. Maybe in my next visit.

We just happened to pass-by Stratosphere and this is one of the snapshots I took. I hope to make a better picture in my next visit.

The Stratosphere is the tallest structure in Las Vegas and also the fifth tallest structure in the United States. Commonly called as Stratosphere Las Vegas, is a tower, hotel and casino located in Las Vegas Strip, Paradise, Nevada.

You can find a revolving restaurant on the top of the tower called "Top of the World". It has also the highest thrill ride in the world, the Big Shot as it is called.

I guess, its is quite scary working on top of this tower. What do you think guys?

Let's see Stratosphere in Las Vegas! We just happened to pass this hotel as we where on our way home after a night of strolling in Las Vegas strip. The top of the tower has two observation decks where you can see the surroundings of Las Vegas. I believed that most of the luxurious hotels in Vegas have wireless alarms installed in its buildings. You can also find the Big Shot on top of the tower which is considered to be the highest thrill ride in the world. This is how you see part of Vegas during the night. I hope to visit it again next year.

Have you seen the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas? Stratosphere Las Vegas is a tower and hotel at the same time with games and entertainment. You know what I mean when I say games right? It is located in Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas Nevada. Sad to say, I was not able to go at the top of the tower. I just reserve it for my next Las Vegas escapades...wink! I don't know if it is also use as cell towers. Any idea out there? You want to know what you can see on top of the tower? My sister who lives in Las Vegas told me that there are three thrill rides located in the tower, namely Big Shot, Insanity the Ride and the Xscream. Stratosphere tower has two observation decks in which my sister had a photo of these as they went up to the tower. A revolving restaurant is also located in the tower as mentioned by my brother-in-law during my vacation in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is truly a place to have fun and simply enjoy. If I have to ask you whether you want to ride in those thrill rides in the Stratosphere, are you going to ride in it? Want to know about my answer? I am not really afraid of rides. Since I am having a motion sickness, I guess I can't ride on those thrill rides. Of course I can go up on the Stratosphere Tower for looking around Las Vegas since I am not really afraid of heights. I think so! Here is a photo which I took personally of the Stratosphere Tower!

photo I took of the Stratosphere Las Vegas with its tower while we were driving on the motorway in Las Vegas.

This photo was taken by yours truly while inside the car. This is the Stratosphere in Las Vegas. visit Vegas and see it live!! have a great evening!! best wishes for 2009!!

The Stratosphere Las Vegas is an iconic tower, hotel, and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, owned by American Casino & Entertainment Properties which is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Real Estate Partners. The property's signature attraction is the 1,149 ft (350 m) Stratosphere Tower; it is the tallest free-standing structure in Nevada and the second-tallest free-standing structure in the United States west of the Mississippi River, after the Kennecott Smokestack in Magna, Utah. The hotel is a separate building with approximately 20 stories, 2,444 rooms and an 80,000 square foot (7,000 m²) casino.

The Stratosphere is the northernmost of the major Strip casinos and the only one actually in the City of Las Vegas, as the rest of the strip south of Sahara Avenue is in the unincorporated townships of Paradise and Winchester. Following its completion in 1996 it was initially less popular than first envisioned due to its location on the extreme north end of the strip, far away from the most popular hotel casinos, but its low room prices and unique offerings eventually ensured its success. While many tourists consider its location to be inconvenient, others feel the location is an advantage since it is equidistant between the more popular strip casinos and the downtown area (which includes the Fremont Street Experience).
