Left LA for Vegas. We got into Las Vegas around noon and checked in to a place called the Stratosphere Hotel, which is a few miles north of the main Las Vegas Boulevard, or the "strip". Not only is the Stratosphere the tallest observation tower in the USA, but it also has 3 sweet rides on top of the tower, which we just had to do, especially cause we were staying right there. Big Shot shoots you straight up 160 feet at 45 mph (over 4 Gs) 1,081 feet above the Strip, the X-Scream propels you 27 feet over the edge of the Tower, 866 feet above the ground, and Insanity, the Ride is a massive mechanical arm that extends 64 feet over the edge of the Tower and spins you at a force of 3 Gs. Soo much fun.

Later we took Rowdy Roo for a cruise down the strip and checked out all the sights!
