LOL No, we didn’t do that carnival ride at the very top of the Stratosphere casino where you’re hanging off the edge of a 107 story building while spinning around in a little bucket!  We did see some people heading to the top dressed like skydivers in a one-piece jumpsuit with straps and hooks – they make you wear that apparently so they can safely strap you in!

But we did go to the Stratosphere to eat at the buffet on the ground floor (one of the more reasonable priced buffets in town at $19.95/person).  Then, we went up to the top to see the view.

Their website indicates that it’s $16/person just to go to the top of the tower.  Good grief!  But, the waitress at the buffet told us to say we were going to the lounge up at the top and there’s no charge and a special elevator.  We got to ride in a express elevator that took only 60 seconds to go up 107 floors (our ears popped!)

Great views from the top!  We had forgotten to take the camera so these pictures are from my phone so they’re not as clear as they should have been.  One from the ground looking up shows the view from our trailer – the Stratosphere is on the left and a newer casino is next to it – and the rest of the pictures are from the top:
