Most people connect Las Vegas, Nevada with gambling – and rightfully so. It’s the gambling capital of the world – but there are plenty of other things to do in Las Vegas besides doubling down and going all in….we call these, our Las Vegas “Must Dos”.

The Stratosphere Tower

The Stratosphere Tower is the largest free-standing observation tower in the United States, and the view at the top is spectacular. You’ll see the hotels on the strip, the entire city of Las Vegas and even Mt. Charleston in the distance. It is an amazing site to behold…and that’s just when you’re standing there.

You can also ride a the world’s highest rollercoaster at the TOP of the tower. If that doesn’t give you enough of a thrill you can even try the “Big Shot” – a reverse bungee jump which will shoot you 160 feet in the air at 45 mph and then send you zooming back down. There is another ride as well, called Insanity, that is a giant mechanical arm that extends 64 feet over the edge of the Tower and spins you at a force of 3 Gs!!!

If you can make it through all of this with your stomach in tact, you can also check out a restaurant and bar. The Stratosphere Tower isn’t just a sight seeing tour – it’s an amusement park all unto itself.
