Those Giddy Exciting Heights – The Stratosphere Hotel and Casino

The Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel and Casino has become a Las Vegas landmark and its uppermost spire is visible from nearly anywhere in the valley. But with the tallest thrill rides in the country, a bevy of exceptional dining options and luxurious accommodations, the 1,149-feet tower is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel and Casino takes fun and excitement to new heights with the world's most insane thrill rides. More than 100 stories above the ground, adrenaline junkies can take on the Big Shot, X-Scream and Insanity.

The resort boasts one of the largest gaming floors at 80,000 square feet. At least 50 table games and more than 1,500 of the most popular slot and video poker machines contribute to the nonstop action found in the casino. Casino games include Blackjack, 10X Odds on craps, Poker, Pai Gow Poker, Roulette, Slots, mini Baccarat, Megabucks, and Super Megabucks. There is also a very classy poker room.

 Yes, a 120-seat race and sports book, equipped with 33 televisions and 24 big screens.

The staff at this Casino is as nice and professional as any gambler could hope for, letting you get into the swing of the casino quickly and easily. The Stratosphere has inherited some unusual variations on casino games from its Vegas World predecessor, such as "crapless craps" and "double-exposure blackjack", which came with a number of twists. For example, the variation on blackjack involved the dealers showing both of their cards, which appeared to greatly favor the player. However the rules also were changed that the house wins in the event of a push, which meant that statistically the game favored the casino more than in normal blackjack. This type of blackjack is popular in Atlantic City, but rarely seen in Las Vegas.

 
 

So come rise to the Stratosphere!
