Observation Decks
Best Views and Experience High Above Las Vegas
The Strat Observation Deck is the most recognizable structure of the iconic Las Vegas skyline and the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States, standing at 1,149 feet (350.2 m) above the Strip. A ride to the top offers the best 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Valley, world class dining and drinks, and thrill rides for the most extreme adventurers. The SkyPod at The Strat is home to the fine dining Top of the World restaurant’s award-winning menu and a revolving dining room 800 feet above the Las Vegas Strip that provides the most sensational views and romantic experience, all while completing one revolution every 80 minutes. Be sure to check out Level 108 with your Skypod Experience where 108 Eats offers a choice of gourmet sandwiches, ice cream, cookies and hand-crafted cocktails at 108 Drinks. Test your threshold for fear on one of the world’s tallest amusement rides while being catapulted from the 921‑foot‑high platform up to the tower’s pinnacle at 1,081 feet in the matter of seconds at 45 mph on the Big Shot. As the name implies, Insanity may just push you to the edge while dangling 64 feet over the side of the observation deck, spinning riders at 70 degrees, and producing accelerations of up to 3 G at a whopping 921 above the ground below. X-Scream is a one-of-a-kind roller coaster that literally pushes you to the edge when riders are rocked back and forth 27 feet over the edge of the tower and held weightlessly until retracted and it happens all over again. Cap off a quartet of Strat thrills with the “Everest” of all rides in SkyJump. SkyJump is a terrifying, yet thrilling leap from the SkyPod Observation Deck on the Guinness World Record highest commercial decelerator descent facility hurtling 829 feet (252 m) toward the ground at 40 to 50 mph while onlookers watch in amazement. If you’re looking to take the ultimate leap of faith and tie the knot in the clouds, Level 103 – Chapel in the Clouds can make your wedding the most memorable experience of a lifetime.
The heart of the strip is home to the largest observation wheel in North America, the High Roller. Towering 550 feet (167 meters) above the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, the wheel has 28 climate-controlled cabins providing breath taking 360-degree views of the strip and the surrounding valley. Choose a day ride to see the expanse of the city sprawling to the mountain edges of the valley, or a night ride to take in the sea of bright lights of Sin City. Experience the ultimate happy hour and view with up to 25 of your closest friends, a fully stocked open bar and bartender to cater to your every need during a full 30-minute rotation of the wheel. For those looking to get engaged or married in a unique and breathtaking setting, the private cabins provide the perfect backdrop to the start of the rest of your lives together. If you crave more time in the sky, soar the entire 1,121 feet from the Strip to the High Roller on the Fly Linq Zipline at 35 mph and 12 stories above the Linq Promenade shops and restaurants.
