Amusements at the Stratosphere

There are four. 1) " Scream Therapy" @ 1149 ft. hoisted up the outside of what looks like a radio tower and let to free fall 2) "The Insanity" @ 983 ft spins out from the side of the building 3) "The Scream"@ 866 ft a module holding 4 sets of people rocks back and forth over the edge of the tower and dips down and up etc. 4) "Sky Jump" at 108th floor. At this level the glass slopes outward so if you sit on the floor and hold onto the edge you can lean out and watch the whole thing happening. A person is put in a light blue and yellow jump suit and harnessed at the torso. They are attached to a bungee cord type thing and guy wires. The person is launched off the platform and freefalls in a controlled fall to a target circle painted on the roof of the entrance. You can buy one ride or get bargains for up to all 4 rides plus if you aren't a resident of the Stratosphere is another fee. The individual rides start at $13 and another $25 to get in the building if not a resident. Pictures get taken of the participants during the "fun" and can be purchased at the exit desk.
I really decided that mortgaging my house for last night's dinner precluded me from partaking of any of these sports. But if any of you want to do them I thought I would provide the info for your next trip to Las Vegas.
