The SkyJump, X-Scream and Insanity thrill rides at The Stratosphere hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on Monday, Aug. 15, 2011. The observation deck located on the 108th floor of the tower provides panoramic 360 degree view of the 600-square-mile Las Vegas valley and mountains.

Stratosphere's tower is the tallest freestanding observation tower, and the 5th tallest structure in the United States, as well as being the tallest structure in Las Vegas.

The top of the tower has two observation decks, a restaurant known as "Top of the World" (revolving restaurant), and four thrill rides:

1. SkyJump Las Vegas, a controlled descent, bungee jumping-like ride that will allow riders to plummet 855 ft (261 m) attached to a high speed, descent wire. SkyJump opened on April 20, 2010.

2. X-Scream at 866 ft (264 m) is the third highest thrill ride in the world.

3. Insanity, opened in 2005, at 900 ft (270 m) is the second highest thrill ride in the world; it dangles riders over the edge of the tower and then spins in a circular pattern at approximately forty miles per hour.

4. Big Shot at 1,081 ft (329 m) is the highest thrill ride in the world.
