STRIP TIPS: GO OVER THE EDGE
If hanging hundreds of feet in the air sounds appealing, you might enjoy teetering on the edge of the Stratosphere, 866 feet above the street.
The X-Scream, an extreme experience even by Las Vegas standards, propels riders over the edge of the hotel's observation deck, seemingly onto the Strip below. Luckily, it's just an attraction and riders return to solid ground after about two minutes.
The ride operates from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays at 2000 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
Tickets cost $16 for tower admission and one ride for locals with Nevada identification. Admission and one ride for nonlocals is $16.95. An all-day package with unlimited rides costs $30.95.
