If You Ever Wanted To Know Exactly What If Feels Like To Be An Astronaut, Then This Is Your Chance! On The Stratosphere's Big Shot, You'll Take Off So Fast, You'll Actually Feel Like The Rocket Itself. The Big Shot Whisks You 160 Feet In The Air In An Astounding 2.5 Seconds. Get A Feel Of Weightlessness As 4 Gs Of Force Literally Lift You Off Your Seat. You'll Then Drop To Shocking One Negative G. The Initial Free-Fall Drop Is So Intense, Most Riders Are Too Shocked To Express Their Emotions Immediately. "People Want To Scream, But They Just Can't," Said Mike Gilmartin, Public Relations Manager For American Casino & Entertainment Properties. After The Drop, You'll Bounce Up And Down The 238-Foot Mast Three Times. After "Floating" Back To The Base, You'll Feel So Giddy And Energized That You Can't Stop Giggling. The Big Shot Is Located 100 Stories Above The Ground, Reaching A Maximum Height Of 1,049 Feet (Including The Stratosphere Tower). This Ride Is Sure To Knock Your Socks Off. In Fact, You Should Kick Your Shoes Off So You Could Truly Experience The Breeze.

What Do The Las Vegas Strip And Skydiving Have In Common? For One, Both Can Be Adventurous, Daring And Downright Crazy. Can You Imagine If These Two Were Combined? That's Where The Stratosphere Comes In. Similar To Skydiving, Skyjump Las Vegas Can Be Described As A "Controlled Free Fall," With Riders Attached To A Vertical Zip Line. Brave Souls Dive 855 Feet From The 108th Floor Of The Stratosphere Tower To A Landing Mat On The Ground. During This Ride, You'll Soar At 40 Miles Per Hour. The Breeze You Feel While Descending Down To The Ground Is Like No Other. Before The Jump, You'll Be Given A Short Safety Lesson And Fitted Into A Jumpsuit. Next, You'll Be Connected To A Patented "Descender Machine." One Of The Guides Will Lead You To The Edge Of A Small Platform. Here Is Where You'll Leap Out And Plunge 100 Stories Down To The Ground. Believe It Or Not, You Don't Really Experience That Queasiness In Your Stomach That You Instantly Get From A Steep Roller Coaster Drop. Sure, You Might Feel The Butterflies Before Your Leap (Especially When You Have To Scoot Your Toes Off The Platform's Edge), But Once You Take That Step, It's Smooth Sailing. If You're Still Feeling Apprehensive, This Might Bring You Peace Of Mind -- Guide Wires Will Keep You From Straying Off Course. In Addition, Right Before Reaching The Ground The Machine Slows Down, Giving You More Than Enough Time To Prepare For A Safe Landing. The Landing Process Is Actually Easier Than Getting Off A Ski Lift. Once You Land, You'll Feel Such A Rush -- You'll Want To Run Up And Do It Again. Bonus: If You're Able To Keep Your Eyes Open During The Thrill Ride, You'll Catch A Remarkable View Of The Las Vegas Strip. Still Too Scared To Go? Watching Your Friends Take The Plunge Can Be Just As Fun. Well...Not Really. Nothing Can Compare To Actually Taking The Leap, So This Is Something Everyone Should Experience. Besides, How Many People Can Say They Jumped From One Of The Tallest Towers In The Country? Put Your Scaredy-Cat Feelings Aside And Just Do It.

Like The Title Of The Old Cypress Hill Rap Song, You'd Have To Be "Insane In The Membrane" To Set Foot On Insanity -- The Ride. Or, You Just Have To Have A Hunger For Fun, Heights And A Whole Lot Of Spinning! Extending 68 Feet Over The Edge Of The 1,149-Foot Stratosphere Tower, Insanity - The Ride Spins Passengers At Up To Three Gs. While Sitting In Your Escape Proof Seat, You'll Be Lifted Up At A Thrilling, 70-Degree Angle -- All While Reaching Speeds Up To 40 Mph. With Views Of The Las Vegas Strip More Than 900 Feet Below, This Ride Combines Both A Physical And Psychological Rush. "It's Such A Unique Experience," Said Mike Gilmartin, Public Relations Manager For American Casino & Entertainment Properties. "There's No Other Ride Like It." Depending On The Time Of Day (And If It's Bright And Sunny), You Can Actually See The Shadow Of The Stratosphere Tower Below. And Since The Ride Is Programmable With Various Ride Options, Passengers With An Insane Amount Of Spontaneity Can Experience A Different Kind Of Ride Each Time. Just A Precaution -- This Ride May Not Be Suitable For Those Who Easily Get Dizzy And Queasy. Be Sure You're Fully Hydrated And Not Riding On A Full Stomach.

Remember The Teeter Totter You Enjoyed So Much As A Kid? Now Picture It 900 Feet Above The Ground. Add In A Roller Coaster Element And You've Got X Scream At The Stratosphere. X Scream Is Definitely The Ride Of A Lifetime. The Open Vehicle Sits On A 69-Foot-Long Roller Coaster Track, Which Is Mounted To The Base Of The Stratosphere Tower's Pod. But Unlike The Typical Roller Coaster Track That Takes You Back To The Ground, This One Stops In Midair At A 30-Degree Angle. For Those Who Want The Most Daring Experience, The Front Seat Definitely Delivers The Best View. Riders Feel Like They're About To Fly Into The Ground 900 Feet Below. Just When You Think You're Going To Fall Face First, The Track Teeters Backward. The Vehicle Then Slides Back And Forth Across The Pivoting Track. Reminiscent Of A Teeter Totter, X Scream Is A Lot More Exhilarating Because It's Much Higher Off The Ground. Aside From X Scream's Free Fall Sensations, The View Of The Las Vegas Strip And The Surrounding Desert Mountains Make It All Worth It. While X Scream Plays On The Passenger's Primal Fear Of Falling, It Features Top-Of-The-Line Safety Features. The Ride Comes With Four Independent Locking Mechanisms On Each Chair And Titanium Restraining Bars. It Also Has Emergency Retrieval System, Which Returns The Passenger Vehicle To The Station. On X Scream, You'll Literally Be Going Over The Edge. You Won't Be Able To Look At Teeter Totters The Same Way Again.

Since Its Opening In 1996, The 1,149-Foot-Tall Stratosphere Tower Has Captured The Attention Of Celebrities And Tourists Alike. Set At An Astounding 869 Feet High With A 360-View Of The City, The Stratosphere's Outdoor Observation Deck Is The Tallest Of Its Kind In The Country. "It Has Such A Rock Star View," Said Michael Gilmartin, Vice President Of Public Relations At The Stratosphere Hotel And Casino. "It's Off The Beaten Path And Well Worth The Experience." The Deck Is So High Up That You Can See Helicopters At Eye Level. But Even Riding In One Of The Helicopters Can't Compare To The Thrill Of The Stratosphere Rides, Which Overlook The Strip From The Top Of The Tower. "These Rides Are Probably The Most Intense In The World," Gilmartin Said. "I Guarantee If Your Shoes Fell Off, You're Not Going To Find Them!" While Las Vegas Is The Ultimate Party Destination, There Are Quite A Few People Who Visit Exclusively For The Thrill Rides. The Stratosphere Offers Three Out-Of-This World Rides Sure To Get You Screaming. These Rides Include The Big Shot, The World's Highest Thrill Ride, At An Astounding 112 Stories High. Next Is Insanity, Which Makes Riders Feel Like They're Floating 900 Feet Above The Ground. And For Those Who Loved Riding On The Teeter Totters During Recess, The X Scream Definitely Gives This Popular Playground Favorite A Kick. "X Scream Is Basically A Teeter Totter Over The Edge," Gilmartin Said. "There's No Other Ride Like It In The World." If These Rides Seem Too Intense, There's No Need To Miss Out On All The Fun. Visitors Can Still Watch Their Adventurous Friends On The Rides From The 857-Foot High Indoor Deck. "It's A Multi-Faceted Attraction," Said Gilmartin. "The Easiest Way To Sum It Up Is That There's Something For All Ages. "I Think There Are A Lot Of Things To Compete With When You Come Here," Gilmartin Continued. "Our Challenge Is Getting People Down Here. But Once They Get Down Here, I Think They're Really Impressed." Gilmartin Said The Best Time To Come Out To The Deck
