We ate dinner at the Top of the World Restaurant at the Stratosphere. The dining area revolves so the view changes throughout dinner. It takes 1 hour and 20 minutes to make a complete rotation. (Apparently going that slow can still make some people sick.)
Then Merril wanted to ride the new ride, Insanity, at the top of the Stratosphere. 900 feet from the ground, they strap you in, swing the crane arm over the edge and then spin you around and around. Merril said the feeling is very similar to skydiving. (My pictures were either too dark or too blurry so I nabbed this stock photo.)
Can you imagine the insurance it takes to run that thing? I opted not to ride because it was really cold and I was really full. We'd just spent a bunch on dinner and I felt like keeping it where it was.

This was in front of our hotel right before we left. We were in the tall tower on the left, halfway up. It had a great view! It was great to have a night to ourselves without the kids! Thanks to all who helped out!
