The STRAT (formerly Stratosphere) is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the U.S. at 1,149 feet, offering sweeping indoor and outdoor decks, a revolving restaurant, bars, and Nevada’s most intense thrill rides perched atop the city skyline.

Thrill-seekers can test their nerves on four sky-high attractions: the upward-launching Big Shot, the teetering X-Scream, the spinning Insanity, and the free-fall SkyJump. With flexible ticket options and year-round availability, The STRAT combines breathtaking vistas and adrenaline-filled entertainment in a single unforgettable experience.
