Located at the Las Vegas Strip, City Center is a premiere urban complex that spans to a total of a whopping 16,797,000 square feet (1,560,500 square meters). This iconic complex includes several landmarks on the Sin City's skyline like the magnificent Aria Resort and the splendid Mandarin Oriental. The popular CityCenter Tram, now called the Aria Express connects significant points throughout the CityCenter area. Although the urban complex has been much critizied by conservationists, City Center can hardly be ignored as a beacon of technological advances and a reflection of the turn of yet another century.
The STRAT Tower is one of the most renowned landmarks in Las Vegas. At the height of 1,149-feet, the tower itself is one of the tallest towers in the country that offers rides such as Insanity, XScream, Sky Jump and Big Shot. The names of the rides are true to the kind of adventure they promise to provide. So, if you are on Insanity then get ready to be thrown off the edge of the platform for up to 1,000 feet and circle around at 70-degree angle with a spectacular view of the valley. X-Scream is bound to make your heart skip a beat or two as you dangle back and forth for 27 feet in the air on a teeter-totter device at the side of the 100-story tower. The best of the lot, however, is the Big-Shot, which is a breath-taking free fall from a height of 160 feet along with a spire. A controlled free-fall from the 108th floor known as Sky Jump is the latest addition to the list of extreme adventure rides. Whether you want to simply enjoy the views from the tower, enjoy a cocktail by the pool or indulge in the adrenaline, the tower has it all for a perfect Vegas experience.
