View of Vegas from the Top of the Stratosphere Tower

Buffet dining room of the Stratosphere Hotel

While we are visiting Las Vegas, we stay at
the Stratosphere Hotel. It is one of the newer hotels with much to offer.
















For the second day in a row, we enjoyed the nice buffet lunch at the hotel.


For an average breakfast or lunch sandwich, it costs between US$8.00 - 13.00.

At US$15.99 per person, for an all you can eat brunch buffet with salads, many different kinds of meat and various ethnic dishes and all the juice, milk and coffee you can drink, it is an excellent meal.  We enjoyed our buffet brunch at the hotel before heading out to our tour of the city.

The Observation Tower at the Stratosphere Hotel at night

One of the perks of staying at the hotel is the discounted admission fare for some of the attractions offered on site such as the observation tower.















While other people pay  US$20.00 per person for admission, as hotel guests we paid only $5.00.

The admission fee also allows visitors a 24 hours visit to the tower. We visited the tower in the morning, but if we wanted too, we could have gone back and enjoy the sunset view or the evening view of the city.

View of Las Vegas from the Observation Tower

The Stratosphere Tower is the tallest building in the entire state. It is over a hundred stories high above ground.

We did have a really good 360 degree view of the city of Las Vegas.

Visitors on the observation deck are supposed to be able to see the site where the US government tested the atomic bombs in 1951.  However, without given any maps to help pinpoint that exact location, we did not figure out where the site was.

Inside the observation deck, comfortable and modern seating were everywhere providing ample resting places.

Visitors could take their time, sit, relax and enjoy the view for any length of time without feeling rushed or tired.

There were a few bar tables set up so visitors could really take it slow and enjoy the view below at their leisure.

For those seeking extreme thrills of their life time, they can try the sky jump from the tower.

The outdoor ride from 866 feet above the Las Vegas Strip

The outdoor ride could be visible from the ground below

Or people wanting to experience thrills from on high, they could also ride the outdoor ride from 866 feet above the strip and scream their lungs out.
















We could see the outdoor ride outside the Stratosphere Hotel from the ground.

On the highest point of Las Vegas

For $20.00 a person for an admission fee, one needs to stay a little longer to enjoy the scenery below to be worth it.




If we had the time, we would have a book with us to read, enjoy a drink and the view below easily for a longer time.
