It's midway between the Strip and Downtown and the rooms are cheap. The Top of the World is a recommended restaurant (mostly for the amazing view) and they offer breath-taking rides for you thrill seekers.
"Stratosphere Las Vegas has it all! This great hotel casino with its world famous tower is a Las Vegas landmark. Stratosphere Hotel Las Vegas has great entertainment, dining, gaming and anything else you can imagine. The Stratosphere Las Vegas is on the north end of the Las Vegas strip and has thrill rides atop the largest tower west of the Mississippi."
A note on the Big Shot ride atop the Strat:
"The Big Shot at the Stratosphere gives riders the chance to experience weightlessness and pull 4 Gs at the same time.
The ride launches passengers at 45 mph, 160 feet into the air. That's in addition to being on the observation deck, 900 feet above the ground. It lasts for only one minute but it's a thrilling minute.
The attraction is open from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays and until 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays at 2000 Las Vegas Blvd. South. Tower admission is $7 for locals and $10.95 for others; the ride costs $9."
