text: Been to the Stratosphere a ton of times about years ago but never been to the top Attempted a couple of months ago but the lines were intimidating This week finally decided to suck it up and do it nnLets start with the ticketing process Yes you have to buy tickets Do not forget your local discount and yes I forgot mine You can get tickets at the counter or through a kiosk I made the mistake to think that the kiosk would be faster Obviously was not I was in line behind a bunch of people that either could not read did not understand the touch screen or were undecided what to buy ie which rides the tower only etc The group in front of me bought tickets and paid by one dollar bills Seriously over a couple of hundred dollars in tickets and they paid by one dollar bills This took forever I bet I know why they had so many Washingtons People even clapped when they were finally donennGot my tickets with the quickness Simple just clicked what I wanted and paid Then you go in line which actually is faster than it looks Go through a metal detector then get your picture taken in front of a green screen Elevator to the top took no time nnNow I am finally at the top and you get a view of the valley You can also watch while people get their thrills on the amusement rides I really wanted to see someone on the sky jump but no one was doing it There is a bar up top but was not allowed since I was with my little one nnMy overall thoughtshave to try at least once especially since this is the highest point in Las Vegas But pricey in my opinion and definitely a tourist trap
