Las Vegas Stratosphere X Scream Ride - YouTube

I really wanted to ride this, but it was closed due to wind:


Las Vegas Stratosphere Insanity Ride - YouTube

There is also a space shot ride at the very top, but I've done space shots several times before so I didnt do it. If you are REALLY brave you can bungee off the top of it, too!

Fremont street looks interesting. I think ill check that out, didn't know they had a hotel called "The D" there. Apparently the owner is from up here (according to the article I read about it). Anyway thanks.

Robynn: Thanks for that website. Very helpful.

ElleTea: Didn't know they had rides on top of that thing lol. Those museums look pretty good, ill have to do more research on them later. That mall you suggested looks like a pretty good mall. It's right around the corner (only a 16 minute walk). But I hope to God it doesn't have ridiculous mark ups. If I was back home that would be different but not while I have to make a budget stretch for an entire week. I can buy things at upscale malls, but ill just rather not if I have the option to get the same quality for a cheaper price.

Exaday: I won't be alone most of the time. But thanks for the advice. I imagine the strip will have an extremely heavy police presence. But I know you still have to be careful.

You all are very helpful.
Went to see what the D was all about. I didn't see much in the way off Detroit D, but...I think his name starts with a D also. Really it was about the same as any of the generic casinos there.

The Forum Shoppes are nice to look at, but oh man! Way high end! You won't see any prices in those windows! Not necessarily the place for the average (even a little above average) person to pick up a souvenir! Krystals in the City Center is a nice mall too, very high end also. Probably a lot of the same stores. Cool things to look at there, though, as far a design goes.

It looks pretty fun from the youtube videos. Idk if i'll be brave enough though. As for the bungee jumping, I value my life lol.

Thanks. I hope a Ralph Lauren stores and Adidas stores is located in one of these malls. It's crazy how everything is on one street. Guess I can't really get lost.

The scariest part of the XScream was when it drops suddenly. I almost didn't do it but I'm glad I did. I won't do the hunger either. Someone else mentioned the zip line on Fremont Street. Also fun and not scary at all.

If I remember correctly, there is an Adidas store by the M&M's store area.
