Vegas Baby, Vegas! How High Does the Big Shot REALLY Take You?
So, you're in Sin City, feeling like a high roller (pun intended) and you've set your sights on the STRAT's legendary Big Shot. But before you launch yourself towards the neon heavens, you might be wondering: just how high does this bad boy go?
Hold onto your toupees, thrill seekers, because we're about to unveil the Big Shot's gut-wrenching, gravity-defying height!

The Big Shot: Aiming for the stratosphere (almost)
The Big Shot isn't messing around. It rockets you a whopping 1,081 feet (329 meters) above the Las Vegas Strip. That's right, you'll be soaring higher than a showgirl's feather boa and feeling the wind whip through your hair (or what's left of it after a Vegas weekend).
To put that into perspective:
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- You'll be eye-to-eye with the bravest pigeons in town.
- The Bellagio fountains will look like a cute little birdbath.
- Elvis impersonators will be waving from down below like ants... tiny, sequined ants.
Basically, you'll be king (or queen) of the Vegas jungle... for a few exhilarating moments.
Don't Fear the Big Drop (Just Maybe a Little)
Now, what goes up must come down, and the Big Shot doesn't disappoint. After reaching that glorious peak, you'll experience a weightless freefall that'll make your stomach do a somersault. Don't worry, though, the ride will catch you before you become a permanent resident of the sidewalk.
This is Vegas, baby, not a one-way trip... unless you win big at the slots!
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
