Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower to Add More Thrill

The Martians Have Landed. No, just the ultimate thrill ride coming to The Stratosphere Casino Hotel and Tower in Las Vegas this October. And, it just got bigger.

Industry leader Interactive Rides of Logan, Utah is building the ultimate extreme thrill ride in their backyard - Project X Sky - a new state-of-the-art amusement attraction that will send riders over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower's Outdoor Observation Deck almost 900 feet above the Las Vegas Strip. The vehicle, which was originally set to travel approximately 27 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere's Observation Deck, has now been extended to 31 feet, giving patrons the greatest thrill possible.

"An extra four feet over the edge of Stratosphere Tower will seem like a mile," said Bobby Ray Harris, senior vice president of operations at the Stratosphere Casino Hotel and Tower. "We opted for the maximum thrill and speed by adding additional footage to the ride experience and because of this, the ride will now open in October," he said.

The ride consists of an open, floorless vehicle that holds eight passengers in "escape proof" seats. The vehicle is attached to a pivoting track that propels the passenger vehicle over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower at 30 miles per hour. Riders will experience free-fall maneuvers while racing back and forth repeatedly from the edge.

Built in Utah, the huge structure will make its way to Las Vegas in September, where it will be hoisted up the side of the Stratosphere Tower by way of commercial helicopters, to its home on the observation deck. An unobstructed view of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip rewards those riders brave enough to ride
Project X Sky.
