Thrill Rides

One of my kids wanted a thrilling birthday so we headed to the stratosphere. Parking is $20. We parked in self parking and then trekked through the casino to the ticket office. It looked like all the rides were closed. We asked and they said rides don't open until 230. So we bought our tickets. We all went up and then we got one unlimited bracelet. We waited in line for the elevator. They only had one going up to the top. They took 10 people at a time. We made it up. The views are absolutely spectacular. You can see everything. I'm scared of heights so it was a bit overwhelming. We wandered and watched people do the bungee falling one. They have a bar up there as well as a treat shop with yummy ice cream. Finally at 230 we went up the stairs to the next level to check out the rides. We got in line for the roller coaster one and waited. Then we talked to someone who said they didn't have enough staff so that one wasn't going. They said they might start it at 4. We saw people on the one that shoots you into the air. My kid went and got in line. It was thrilling We went back to check on the other rides. The rollercoaster one still was not staffed. We asked about the one that twirls and they said it was missing parts. So we paid for unlimited and got one ride. We enjoyed the views a bit more and then went back down. It was a bit of a letdown but the views were incredible. Definitely worth a trip but ask about ride availability when buying tickets.

Strat rides were fun. A good one time experience tourist thing to do. Different elevators that are controlled by a human take you to different floors. It's definitely worth going up there to take pictures and only buying the ticket to go up the tower if you aren't into the rides.

We stayed 2 nights at the Strat Hotel a few years back. There is an observation deck on the 108 floor and the crazy rides. We did them all but never except the virtual wired run down the building. They get the heart racing. I don’t think I could do them again. Frightening. We enjoyed our time here.

I have never been more thrilled and scared from a ride in my life. This theme park is worth every dollar you spend on it. So, we did the unlimited rides, and started with spinning ride first, then the seesaw then the slingshot. The seesaw one was the most incredible experience of fear and adrenaline, really try to get the front seats of this one. The views are also incredible me up here and worth the admission

Roller coaster enthusiast/ thrill rider here. Insanity- 100% not worth it unless you just love spinning rides. X-scream - only worth it if you’re on the outside or first row. Seriously don’t waist your time and money on this one. Big Shot - best of the three but exactly the same as any other big drop ride at any major park. Only difference is you’re 1,000 feet in the air, which is awesome, just not sure it’s worth the $30 for one ride. I got the unlimited pass and just ended up doing the big shot 10 times in a row. Overall it’s a fun bucket list item to do but not very thrilling on the whole.

Cost $20 to go up then $5 extra per ride which I thought was reasonable, rides were good fun, definitely not as scary as they look x

Thrill rides on stratosphere are exceptional. A must try for everyone who loves adrenaline rush! Taking a combo package that includes all the three rides is beneficial. The 360 degree view from the top is really nice and one can see Vegas completely from there. I would definitely recommend a visit to stratosphere if you are planning on going to Vegas.

This is by far the most fun we had in Las Vegas with my teenage kids. If you are an adrenaline junkie this is a must visit attraction. We took the combo which includes going to the top and three rides. The thrill of going on these rides at a height of 1,149 high is unexplainable and has to be experienced. Found the pictures to be overpriced though.
