Stratosphere Tower Rides:
Insanity has seats tethered to an arm that swings out beyond the tower leaving riders dangling 1000 feet in the air. As the ride begins its circular motion, the seats rise and tilt downward to the Strip. Insane indeed.
XScream resembles a giant seesaw that sends riders teetering over the edge of the tower.
The Big Shot is a hydraulic freefall drop tower, similar to many found at theme parks–except this one is on top of the tower.
It’s kind of hard to miss the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas; the nearly 1000-foot behemoth is visible from anywhere in Sin City. In a town known to embrace the outrageous, it’s still insane to discover that there are thrill rides ATOP THE TOWER. Even more audacious than the people who thought of placing rides on top of the Stratosphere: the nuts who ride them (that’d be me…and you?). None of the four rides would be particularly noteworthy if they were planted on the ground, but at more than 900 feet above Vegas’ famed strip, they’re all beyond wild–and two of them may just be the most thrilling, if not terrifying, rides on the planet. It’s all about psychological thrills, and these rides give acrophobia a whole new meaning. When the see saw-like XScream totters over the edge of the tower, or when Insanity (speaking of insane) dangles above the Strip and tilts its cars down as if to eject its passengers, psychological thrills just don’t get a heckuva lot more intense. The Big Shot is a fairly standard drop tower ride, but when you’re freefalling 1000 feet in the air, all I can say is, “Yikes!” For those too squeamish to brave the attractions, just riding to the top of the tower is an adventure that I’d highly recommend. You’ll get two different experiences during the day and Vegas’ neon-infused night. If you’ve got the time and the dough (reward yourself if a slot machine pays off!), try both.

Monument Valley provides perhaps the most enduring and definitive images of the American West. The isolated red mesas and buttes surrounded by empty, sandy desert have been filmed and photographed countless times over the years for movies, adverts and holiday brochures. Because of this, the area may seem quite familiar, even on a first visit, but it is soon evident that the natural colors really are as bright and deep as those in all the pictures. The valley is not a valley in the conventional sense, but rather a wide flat, sometimes desolate landscape, interrupted by the crumbling formations rising hundreds of feet into the air, the last remnants of the sandstone layers that once covered the entire region.
One of My favorite stops was always Monument Valley and Goulding’s trading post. A stay at the Motel is as relaxing as it gets and I am always ready for a “Navajo Taco ”
