Strat-o-fair Arcade at Stratosphere Hotel

2000 Las Vegas Blvd., So., Las Vegas

Overview:

The Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower recently added an exciting multi-faceted 17,000-square-foot midway attraction to its already value-packed family image. The Strat-O-Fair midway showcases a 1963 World's Fair theme. The midway is located at the base of the 1,149-foot tower which houses Top of The World restaurant & lounge and observation decks.

 

Some of the main midway attractions include: The Sky Wheel, a 45-foot in diameter Ferris Wheel which provides passengers at the apex of the ride a view of the Strip from 80 feet above the street.   The Ferris Wheel, circa 1958 was restored and renovated for the Strat-O-Fair by Eli Bridge, the oldest Ferris Wheel company in the U.S.   An equally exciting, but smaller version of the Big Shot has been adapted for kids named The Little Shot.   The ride propels visitors 20 feet into the air while simulating the exhilarating feeling of the Big Shot, but on a smaller scale.

Other unique attractions at the Strat-O-Fair are the Hover Crash, a futuristic bumper car ride, which is battery operated, and the only one of its kind in the world.

Hyper-Bowl, a virtual bowling game with a 10-foot screen and 3-D visual is a featured attraction. Visitors can bowl a complete virtual-reality game with Hyper-Bowl and actual leagues can be formed. This computer bowling game is one of the firsts of its kind in the U.S. To complete the midway, there are also two food outlets-Astro Snacks and The Launch Pad Lounge-as well as several "games of skill" where patrons can win prizes such as plush, stuffed-toys. The games include: Basketball Shot, Cat Rack, Ring Toss, Milk Can, Milk Bottles and the Water Race.
