stratosphere pics

Before i do my readings, here's some more photos, the last set of pics from Vegas, from when we went to eat dinner at this fancy place high up in the air...
The view from the hundred-and-somethingth floor of the Stratosphere Hotel
- the tallest building in Vegas.
Reminds me of the screenshots in SimCity 4...

That's the shadow of the building, as can be seen it's one of those needle-thin buildings
that has the token observatory and revolving restaurant at the top
In actual fact i doubt it's really 100-plus storeys tall

The night view of the Las Vegas Strip, with all the tacky casinos,
oops, i mean, intergrated resorts in their full gaudy neon finery...

One of the amusement park rides at the top of the hotel roof
-they suspend the riders over the edge, with their feet dangling over nothing...

Another over-the-edge ride...
They also somehow managed to squeeze a rollercoaster onto the roof as well...

ya i wanted to sit the coaster too, but had no time + it was just after dinner, and it was not a good idea to do so unless i wanted masticated prime rib spewing all over the place...
