Stratosphere Las Vegas

The Stratosphere Las Vegas (informally: "The Strat") is a hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. It is most notable for its tower, which at 1,149 ft (350 m) is not only the tallest structure in Las Vegas, but also the tallest building in the United States west of the Mississippi River.

Snapshots from the last museum attendance (possible pictures of historical pieces of furniture, a collectors case, curio cabinet, collectors cabinet or a display showcase1) can be viewed with the help of a Beamer directly from the computer.

It was conceived by Bob Stupak, built in the mid-1990s, and opened in April 1996. Stupak lost control of the project, and it is now owned by a company controlled by Carl Icahn.

The tower has a roller coaster on the top, as well as an observation deck and a rotating restaurant.

It is the northernmost of the major Strip casinos and the only one actually in the city of Las Vegas. It has a reputation for being less expensive than other Strip hotels, though it is perfectly nice without being Swarovski luxurious. Many out-of-town visitors find its location at the far end of the Strip a bit inconvenient and the area immediately to the north – between the Strat and Downtown – a trifle insalubrious.
