Which brings me to the most insidious part of the great tower's visual blitzkrieg. There will be Stratosphere Blow-Pops because children are not immune. The shops already stock an alarming variety of T-shirts in, shudder, baby sizes. To make matters worse, they have adorned this infant clothing with a cartoon Stratosphere Tower. He's even been provided with cartoon arms and hands.
Nothing beats aggressive marketing.
Get 'em while they're young. It goes without saying that I mean all this in a good-natured way. I bought a Stratosphere shot glass. I even bought a T-shirt for my little girl. I know the Stratosphere has fallen on hard times.
