Stratosphere Tower

Driving home from work I happened to get a glimpse of the Stratosphere tower in the distance. I took a picture of it using the telephoto lens attachment to my iPhone. I tried to zoom in a little bit the image of the tower trying not to shake my hand. The worse thing was that I was inside my car so I was recording the image through the windshield glass of my car. The car by the way was at rest waiting for the "go" traffic signal so there was added stress there.

Stratosphere tower is already a part of the Las Vegas skyline, but its more than just a tower. Upstairs you can find a high-end restaurant, a bar and in their observation deck there are thrill rides like a roller coaster and 3 other rides that play around with the height factor. The observation deck offers a ver good birds eye view of the Las Vegas Boulevard commonly known as The Strip. One can also see the whole 360 deg view of the Las Vegas valley.

I usually recommend to my visiting friends to go to this tower first before taking the rounds in the casinos, restaurants and shopping.
