Attractions
The The Strat Hotel Las Vegas has many attractions for the adrenaline seeking guest. There are four thrill rides that are exclusive to Las Vegas which are Skyjump, Big Shot, Insanity and X-Scream. Guests also have the opportunity to explore the observation deck of the The Strat Tower.
The Skyjump is much more than just a ride up and then down from the 108th floor of the The Strat Hotel Las Vegas Tower. Guests can experience jumping out of a window from 829 feet above the ground and fall gracefully into the sky before stopping just short of the fast approaching ground. The Skyjump holds the Guinness Book of World Records for being the highest commercial decelerator descent. This is not a bungie jump and there is no snap back or flying around because patrons are connected to cables on both sides that control the speed of your descent. This is a perfect thrill ride for the adrenaline seeker.
The Big Shot is ideal for those people that like to sit down while seeking their adrenaline rush. This thrill ride begins 921 feet up on the The Strat Tower when sixteen patrons are shot into the air some 160 feet at forty-five miles per hour to reach an amazing height of 1,081 feet before falling back to the start platform. The Big Shot will fill your body with four G’s of force on the way up and negative G’s on the way down.
The Insanity thrill ride is one of the only places in the world that you will experience three G’s of force on your body, while you look 900 feet down onto the historic downtown area of Sin City. Once you are strapped into the Insanity there is an arm that extends the ride 64 feet from the edge of the The Strat Tower into the abyss of the Las Vegas sky. The extended arm will twist, rattle and roll your body in many different directions as well as angles. At one point you will be at a levitated stated at 70 degrees looking straight down.
The X-Scream is the only coaster type ride in Las Vegas that propels guests 27 feet over the edge of the The Strat Hotel Las Vegas Tower some 866 feet above the ground. The teeter-totter design of the X-Scream is fashioned to make patrons feel the adrenaline on the way out as well as a state of weightlessness many feet above the ground once they stop. After several rocket shots over the edge most guests will not have much a voice left after screaming at the top of their lungs.
The The Strat Tower also has a spectacular observation deck that is located 1,149 feet above the ground. There are two different observation decks that have a 360 degree panoramic view for guests to enjoy.
