  Its beautiful 😍 I have been here so many times but every time it feels so fresh and amazing views just refreshes you. Best time is dusk so you can enjoy little daylight and as it falls into night with glimmering citylights.

  Good views but not worth the price. The elevator operator was awesome & hilarious, he was the highlight of the experience. Purchased the tickets in advance through Groupon only to arrive to find out that the exterior viewing deck was closed due to wind. I wasn't sure if I could get a refund from Groupon so we proceeded. Interior viewing is definitely not worth the price. We stayed for a little while & when getting on the elevator to leave the operator said up or down to which I replied I thought the exterior was closed & he said oh it's open now so had it not been for that conversation we would have left not realizing it had reopened. I feel there needs to be better communication or signage (maybe there is & we just missed it). Being able to go outside did improve the experience but the rides still remained closed.

  The STRAT Tower – Still One of the Best Views in Las Vegas If you only judge The STRAT by its location at the northern end of the Strip, you're missing the point. This isn't somewhere you simply wander into while passing by—it's a destination in its own right, and one we've enjoyed visiting several times over the years. The observation deck remains one of the most spectacular places in Las Vegas. Standing more than 1,100 feet above the city, the panoramic views are simply incredible. During the day you can see the Strip stretching away beneath you with the surrounding Nevada mountains beyond, but for me it's after dark that The STRAT really comes alive. Watching the endless lights of Las Vegas spread out in every direction is an unforgettable experience and, in my opinion, still the finest view in the city. Over the years I've also experienced some of the thrill rides on top of the tower. The Big Shot is exactly what its name suggests, launching you even higher above the observation deck before dropping you back down with the entire Las Vegas skyline as your backdrop. It's one of those rides that's just as much about the height as the speed. On an earlier visit I also rode the original High Roller roller coaster, which circled the top of the tower. It's long since been removed, but I'm pleased I experienced it while it was there. It wasn't the fastest or most extreme coaster in the world, but riding a roller coaster nearly 900 feet above the ground was something completely unique, and it's another piece of classic Vegas that's now part of history. For those wanting an even bigger adrenaline rush, there's also SkyJump Las Vegas, where participants step off the side of the tower in a controlled descent. Even if you have absolutely no intention of jumping yourself, it's great fun watching others build up the courage before taking that first step into thin air. The indoor and outdoor observation areas are spacious, giving everyone plenty of opportunity to enjoy the views, take photographs and simply appreciate just how vast Las Vegas really is. Information displays help you identify landmarks in every direction, making it more than just somewhere to admire the skyline. The STRAT may no longer have all the rides it once did, but that doesn't diminish the experience. The combination of breathtaking views, unique thrill rides and a chance to see Las Vegas from a completely different perspective makes it one of those attractions I'd happily revisit every trip. Some attractions in Las Vegas constantly reinvent themselves. The view from the top of The STRAT never needs to.

  The view was okay, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. It was nice to see Las Vegas from above, but overall the experience felt average for the price.
