Try not to scream when you go over the edge ? you don't want to scare the other riders! After being shot over the edge, you'll dangle weightlessly above the Las Vegas Strip before being pulled back and propelled over again for more.

Stratosphere Tower Rides

Among the fun rides at the Stratoshpere Tower is SkyJump, a great attraction for thrill seekers who aren't afraid of heights. SkyJump is located on Level 108! Wow, that's the highest view in Vegas! Here's how SkyJmp works: you're strapped into a harness, attached to the "descender machine" and step off a narrow platform only to plunge 855 feet straight down! Yikkes! In addition to SkyJump, the Stratosphere boasts a number of other hair-raising attractions including the Big Shot, a seated, shorter but equally thrilling ride, and X Scream, which extends you over the ledge of the Stratosphere Tower -- and leaves you there. The stop is only for a few seconds, but it's long enough to make you appreciate attractions on the first floor. A fourth ride is called Insanity-The Ride. Nothing more needs be said!
