Big ShotThe StratHours: Sun-Thurs, 10 a.m.-1 a.m.; Fri-Sat, 10 a.m.-2 a.m. Price: $25/$30/$35/$39.95 Type: Thrills This ride catapults up to 16 riders from the 921-foot-high platform near the top of the Stratosphere Tower straight up the needle to a height of 1,081 feet at a speed of 45 miles per hour.
On the way up, riders feel the force of 4 Gs (astronauts experience 3.5 at launch). At the top, riders also go through a momentary zero-gravity experience as the bottom falls out and they fall 150 feet in mere seconds, leaving their stomachs somewhere above.
The ride then bounces back up, though not as high or fast, a couple of times, at which point you can enjoy the incomparable view of the valley. NotesTicket Pricing: Includes SkyPod access
