The Stratosphere tower is about 5 miles from where I took the photo.

It is an impressive tower for sure especially when you go to the top and stand on the glass floor looking down...

Or even better you can bungee jump from up there too- no thank you.

When it first opened I was there and took the mag-lev catapult straight up at 4g's. It was crazy. Then after that I rode the roller coaster on the outside and could look straight down, nothing but a small bar to hold you. I don't know if the coaster is there at all anymore but I heard a short time after opening they installed a net to keep people from falling all the way to the ground.

I'm not sure what they have going on these days as far as rides go as I haven't been up top in along time.

At those heights I prefer wings...

All the strip casinos and resorts are due to open up over the next two weeks as it's been deserted down there.

Very odd to drive down the strip and there's no traffic or people.

Wow! Great shots bud! KLAS is on my list currently of US airports to visit this year! Going to be in April I think but I'm not to sure yet. Nevertheless, you showed why so many aviation photographers love to go there! Amazing work and look forward to more shots from Vegas from you!
