    When I saw this ride I just had to do it. Having tried one similar at DisneyLand, placing the same ride 100+ stories up added a huge element of fear. I was hesitant, but did it. It was TERRIFYING - but AWESOME. I did not dare try the other rides, too scary for my blood, but definitely this is highly recommend if you are into rides etc. The views form the top of the stratosphere are incredibly as well, worth going to the top just for those. On subsequent trips to Vegas we didn't bother, but it is certainly a "do it at least once" sort of thing!

    First time I was afraid to ride the rollercoaster up top of the Strat. Now I recommend doing the Big Shot! This ride will shoot you to the top of Vegas and take your breath away on the way down. Would love to ride this again and again!

    Fun fun fun with an amazing view!! The workers are a lil intense with their attitudes towards people... I guess they're just use to getting attitude back. But okay.... other than that the ride was awesome... all three rides are great!!

    What a ride!! The place had 3 rides - first one is the throw you out and pull you in of this 100 story building vanishing the grounds below you. Second one is they places you out of tower and spin you and sametime tilting you horizontally so that you can see the ground below and keep spinning. Third one is the best.. They throw you up the tower and you fall back. This motion happen 3-4 times and is awesome. Must visit is your happen to be in Vegas.

    It wasn't as extreme as everyone makes it out to be. It was okay. I seemed to be only a few seconds on the ride. We purchased tickets during the daytime. Then when we went up to ride... it was too hot to ride the rides. You would think that there would be some sort of covering or something for guests to sit on so they can't burn their legs on the ride from sitting all day in extreme heat... BUT NO... ITS NOT!!! I was very upset about this and the staff need to inform the guests at the desk b4 wasting their time purchasing tickets. We ended up leaving and coming back 2 ride the rides after 10pm when the heat wasn't too bad. If you are aware of how the Strip is laid out... The Stratosphere Is all the way near the END!!

    This is a must do for thrill seekers in Vegas. Your are shot up with G force at 1000 feet from the ground and freefall 60 feet. The views are amazing

    The Big Shot ride is at the top of the Strat (old Stratosphere) tower which is in the 112 floor of the building. You might have an idea already of the beautiful but intimidating views of the city you will be enjoying. The ride consists in a small tower in top of the 112 floor that have some seats and rails and where you are going to be basically “ejected to the sky” a couple of times 🤯 This is one of three scariest attractions in Las Vegas, the other two are Insanity and SkyJump all of them at the same place! The Strat Hotel ;0) 100% recommended 👍

    Best of the three by far. I’d recommend the unlimited pass just to do this big shot ride over and over again. This one has some great re-ride potential.

    Rode this ride at night and it was super cool! The chairs angle downwards so there is no trying to avoid looking at how high you are, which add to the thrill. Views were amazing of the strip and Las Vegas area. Line was also quite short. Definitely recommend!

    Nice old one hotel, very good service, just recommend to the room servite to better clean or review the cleaning of the rooms. Also to include a bigger restaurant in the hotel

    Big shot is better than x-scream. Also, better to get day pass as you will roughly get a minute to ride on each ride. They should increase the timing for each ride actually. Not worth it to pay that amount for just 1 minute ride.

  • 5/5 Amy W. 9 months ago on Google • 41 reviews
    LOVED LOVED LOVED the hang time at the top!!! The views were amazing from the observation deck as well!!!

  • 5/5 Aish R. 5 years ago on Google
    That was an awesome ride! Perfectly placed at the top of the tower at almost 1000 ft, and a well crafted thrill ride. The mountain terrains nearby make the ride even more try-worthy.

  • 5/5 Marva P. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing!!! Only bag thing, I went at night and the crackers wasn't working due to expected inclement weather. Overall, it was thrilling and a stress releaser for me. I'll go for my 3rd ride next time.

    This ride was one of the best experience I’ve had in a while. The ride operator was very nice she was very encouraging to ride the big shot!!! Definitely will go back

  • 5/5 Jan-Willem V. 9 months ago on Google
    I have seen big, tall, heavy, sports guys cry. It is just a shot in the air, a few hundred meters up. Done it at least 25 times, nothing beats it.

  • 5/5 Mahadai P. 4 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    I love it every time I go. It's an awesome view and a wonderful experience to never forget ❤️ if you stay at the Strat, tickets are 1/2 off.
