    The Strat is a bit of a trek from the main strip but the walk had its moments which I passed by some iconic chapels. The area was a bit sketchy. But really the whole Vegas experience was. Heading to the top was a cool experience, though the weather was not favorable at all. It was so cold that I could only be on the roof deck for a minute before dashing inside. The view was worth seeing. But having a private event taking up the best indoor spot was a letdown. Still, I tried to make the most of it. Now, if there's one thing they got right was the drinks. Easily the strongest I had in Vegas, which earned them some points in my book. Seating was limited...first come first serve, which meant a lot of the available spots were filled with families and kids. Little ones running around lose. Not exactly the vibe I expected. For the price, it feels a little steep considering it's an older attraction, but it's one of those bucket list Vegas experiences you do once and move on.

    We were there for two nights. Let's start from the parking lot , aesthetically was horrible the ceilings were full of shoe marks. People literally take the time to leave their shoe prints on every single lot level. Inside the Casino it seemed pleasantly clean and modern and so did our room upon arrival. As our day progressed we were regretting our booking with them. There was no ice in the ice machines. The customer service at the front desk, was useless. She said to just look for another machine. To find out none of the machines on our floor had ice. On a day where the degrees were 106 you would think they would be on top of their ice! Their blankets had HOLES on them. Here is your FIY, if you are spending the night they will not vacuum unless you request also their is no trash can in the room except for the restroom. They also do not validate your parking for your stay with them.

    My boyfriend and I went Saturday, October 2 arrived at 9pm ish. We got tickets from Groupon and got the unlimited rides. This was my first time here. Tbh, I never knew there were rides on The Strat! I've been in Vegas more than 10 times and never known. It was so confusing where all the rides were since there were no one lining up for rides. You have to go to different floor if you want to ride the Big Shot. But the other 2 rides (Insanity and X-Scream) , you can stay on the same floor. When we got there, there wasn't a lot of people. All the lines to the rides were so short. We didn't even wait long. One time, we got to do it again without leaving the seats because there were no one waiting in line. If you get dizzy or kind of dizzy, I DONT RECOMMEND INSANITY. Just don't! Everyone in our group, random people, said they wanted to throw up after the ride stopped. It was super dizzy!!!! Not worth it. If you want to try it, MAKE SURE ITS THE LAST RIDE YOU GO ON!! YOU DONT WANT TO BE DIZZY AND UNABLE TO GO ON OTHER RIDES. It was the longest line too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND X-SCREAM!!! Do it multiple times if you can!!! SIT IN THE FIRST ROW!!! Trust!!!! It's the scariest if you're in the first row. You see everything and everything on the bottom of the building. It's scary after the 2nd and 3rd time riding it!!! Since there weren't any people waiting, every time we went on it, we sat on the first row. Second best is the BIG SHOT! I got to ride it twice I think. It was fun! The first time was so scary!! All the rides were open when we were there. We saw the outside and inside deck. Parking is free!!! You can bring water bottle. There are snacks and drinks inside the deck but it's expensive.

    Booked the Strat Observation & 2 Thrill Ride Pass for $27.Observation was nothing special other than looking down the Vegas city with binoculars & the 2 Thrill rides Big Shot & X-Scream was lasted just over a minute so not great at all! And top of that found out from the staff that their ride cameras stopped working so can't even get the pics of my rides! Overall very disappointing !!!

    Waitress was very customer service oriented. Restaurant was clean. I was not impressed with my avocado toast. Coffee was good, prices are a bit steep.

    We went here initially for one ride, ended up getting unlimited rides for the whole day, all 3 rides. It was the best decision we've ever made (for that day). Unlike others, there barely any line for every rides. We tried the Big Shot, the Insanity, and something else.. I forgot the name. Everything was great except the Insanity, because it spins so fast that it made me and my husband super sick . The big shot was one of the thing that we did twice with no regrets. It was fun, enjoyable, and really cook place to visit!

    The strat thrill rides are so fun to go check out if you like getting on the big rides. So to start you have to pay 30 bucks to go to the top of the stratosphere. This is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that by charging this prevents the place from being over crowded at the top. The bad thing is that you have to pay to go up and for each ride you get on. But your in vegas get used to spending money lol. When you are at the top there are roller coasters, and other scary rides for thrill seekers to ride. Theres also a little snack shop that sells chips, sandwiches and alcoholic drinks. So you can but something and sit on the sofas or tables and enjoy the view. The view from the top is amazing! You literally see all of Las Vegas, and its an amazing sight to see. Pros -You see las vegas -You can chill and relax Cons -You have to pay to go up

    Omg! I'll leave it at that! It's a must do if you come. We also took pictures while walking around the views are amazing. Drinks of course are a bit expensive, but worth it. It's a good time and memorable! They have snacks, cocktails etc at the top. The jumps , rides are crazy fun and daring

    -- A must-see while in Vegas! -- It's sooooo windy up here!!!! (As to be expected) It feels like you can see the entire state of Nevada from Big Shot! Unfortunately, when it gets this windy, they close down Big Shot specifically and only allow the other rides to operate. The ride in my attached photo was by far my favorite. The claw-arm spins you and 7 others out over the entire city.. IMPORTANT: they warn you but still, shoes.. sunglasses.. & phones can plummet to certain death so be careful. Try to plan on a day that's not so windy to enjoy the full experience!! :)

    Sooooo this was such an amazing experience and I wish I could give it a million stars BUT when we had our ticket time one of the rides were closed and unfortunately no one offered any type of compensation Or apologies Aside from that the rides are a blast (staff is serious and not fun tho) The bartender was amazing!!!!!! So check her out, the deli had a great sandwich Great spot for drinks, views, pics and adrenaline was def pumping This is a must see if ur in vegas 10/10 BUTTT call ahead and make sure the rides are open

It feels like the place is being run by young employees who either haven't been properly trained in customer service or simply don't want to provide it. If you don't like dealing with customers, a customer-service job probably isn't the best career choice. It took us over 30 minutes just to find someone willing to help us redeem our arcade tickets for prizes. We asked multiple employees for assistance, and every single one seemed more interested in passing us off to someone else than actually solving the problem. Look, I get it--it's Circus Circus. The place already comes with a certain reputation. But maybe during new-hire orientation, management could dust off one of those painfully boring training videos explaining what customer service actually means. At this point, even that would be an improvement. Will I come back? Probably. I still have little kids, and they have fun here. But believe me, I yearn for the glorious day when they're grown and I can finally drive past Circus Circus without hearing, "Dad, can we go there?!" Until then, I'll be back. Reluctantly. Do a little better, Circus Circus. The kids may not notice the poor service--but the parents paying for everything definitely do.

We visited the location on a Monday! They have $75/per person offer on Mondays to enjoy 2 activities. We chose the smash room and axe throwing, but they also have a paint room option. I have gone axe throwing before, but I like the axe throwing better at this location because they offer a variety of games to play with your group. We played and enjoyed the zombie game the most.

They won't allow you to bring your phone or anything else in your pockets onto the ride. Staff actually check before you board, and if you have anything on you, they'll send you back to put it away. Luckily, there are lockers nearby for around $1, so storing your belongings is quick, easy, and inexpensive. We visited on a Friday night and purposely waited until it was dark so we could enjoy the views of the Las Vegas Strip while riding. We had purchased our tickets online ahead of time, which I highly recommend because it allowed us to skip the ticket line. Once inside New York-New York, the coaster was easy to find, and we only waited about 30 minutes to ride. As a plus-size woman, I was happy to find that I fit comfortably on the ride, which is always something I appreciate knowing before visiting an amusement attraction. It was over 100°F outside the night we rode, so flying through the loops, twists, and huge drops while getting blasted with warm desert air made for a pretty wild experience! I'll admit, I was a little terrified--the drops are much bigger than I expected, and I rode a good portion of it with my eyes closed. The ride itself is fairly short, but it's packed with excitement from start to finish. My teenager absolutely loved it, and even though it scared me a bit, I'm really glad we did it. If you're visiting Las Vegas with kids or teens, I'd definitely recommend adding the Big Apple Coaster to your itinerary.

I also like doing new and different things. I've gone go-cart riding, I took a shooting lesson once, and I have gone sky diving. One thing I've always wanted to do was learn to drive a forklift so this sounded like my thing. I heard about this place while researching unique things to do in Vegas that didn't included gambling or the Casinos. Once I found there website I was excited to give them a try, but was undecided on which option to book. There were so many good ones. The idea of driving a bulldozer and another option to use an excavator and crush a car sounded exhilarating. I was a little nervous about finding a way to get there as they are so far out of the strip. I was worried that the LYFT driver wouldn't want to drive that far out of town to take us there or pick us up. They are located 20 minutes south of the Strip, which is a quick LYFT ride that costs under $40. And to be houses it can be the same amount of time to get around the strip and back to our hotel, the Rio which is off the strip at night when it's the busiest time and traffic is so heavy. The trip there is almost all freeway. I was a bit nervous when I found out you have to sign a waver not holding them liable if you get injured. The price of the big equipment is between $195- $320 ( Each sessions last between 45 to 90 minutes and range form age 8+ or16+) The most exhilarating one was $799 and you get to use an excavator to crush a car.. Now that sounded like the most fun. That's called the Aggression session and lasts 45 minutes. The age for this is 14+. Driving a bulldozer sounded fun too. Being so nervous I ended up booking the kid's dig. There you get to operate a 1.5 ton excavator. That seemed safer if they offered options for little kids and I mean little. Age 2+ can operate the excavator. Depending on their size they may have to sit on someone's lap. The kids dig is $29.50 for 15 minute increments. You can book multiple sessions. And for each session another person can be the operator. You can't split sessions between multiple people. Prior to booking I did call them and talked to Taylor I believe and she assured me as an adult without a child could partake in the Kids Dig. She assured me that other adults have done it and it's still a lot of fun. We went the last Sunday in May 2026. Our appointment was at Noon. I wanted to make sure I had enough time so I booked two 15 minute sessions. Having two sessions allowed us to each try it. My husband said he'd just watch and be my photographer, but I waned to give him the options too to try it out and he did and enjoyed it. Probably not as much as I did, but he had fun. Alex my instructor was amazing. He continued to yell out directions till I got the hang of it. I was doing it with another kid next to me and I felt Alex was really paying attention to me even though he was direction both of us. I was in heaven as I dug dirt out of the ground and created a giant hole. 15 minutes was plenty for time and I relinquished my second session to my husband. I had so much fun that I wanted to share the fun. I had trouble on my own remembering what to do so he continued to give me directions till I got the handle of it. I wonder how little kids so it as I was having difficulty remembering what to do. On the other hand kids play so many video games these days so they may be more used to this rhythm of movement. I highly reccomend this activity to everyone that is looking for something unique to do in Vegas. This was the highlight of my trip to Vegas. I'm so glad I overcame my fear of getting to and from Dig This. I felt very safe using the excavator. It's a little nerve wracking at first as you lean back a bit when you are digging. You really don't need the photo package as your companion can walk all around you and take pictures and videos. This only works if you are confident in their photography and videography skills. I had my doubts so I bought the photo package and I'm glad i did as Alex go a really good action shoot of me. And I'm a total photography lover. I like to capture the moment and I feel like the money is worth it not to miss the moment. When I went Sky diving I hired a photographer and videographer too and it was so worth it. The digital photo package with plaque is $67.93. If you just want the plaque it's $37.93. It's so much of a better deal to get the digital photo package as you get a minimum of 5 shots. We got 17 for the 2 sessions and that was of both my husband and myself. I was thrilled with Alex's photography skills and his ability to catch those action shots. If you have reservations do the Kid's dig. It's only $29.50 and have your companion take your picture and it's a total steal for all the fun you'll have.

    It's Soarin'! in Las Vegas. Same ride system and manufacturer. They have 4 different movies that…read morethey cycle through throughout the day. There is a "history of the west" preshow video which is ok. But the actual ride really shines. Overall experience is about 25 minutes from pre-show to exit. We did the West video which went through the deserts in the west, up the coast, and also the pacific northwest. Of course there was a flyover of Vegas. The video was very crisp. The ride system was very smooth. My daughter complained it didn't have the neat transitions between scenes like Disney does. This just jumps from clip to clip although they try to keep the perspective the same. Overall I really liked this. A definite must do in my mind!

    We went to FlyOver in LasVegas for the Iceland Experience…read more I agree with other reviewers about the employees being rude. We could not hear 1/2 of what they were saying and no one was enthusiastic at all. The pre-show was decent, but after standing in line, standing waiting to see the pre-show experience and then standing for the pre-show experience, older people and those with back problems had trouble. We were seated for the film. The film was nice with a few special effects, but it was more about the Iceland country side and only a few seconds showing areas inhabited by people including Reykjavik which is a beautiful city (we have been there). The overall film experience was not 25 minutes as advertised (less). If you are prone to motion sickness or have ear or balance issues I don't recommend this experience.

    This classic carnival/amusement park ride has never changed since whenever the bumper car…read morerevolution began. How can you go wrong with an electric powered vehicle that was designed for bumping into other cars? Well, head on collisions can really mess up your back, spine, or whatever other skeletal terms you wanna go by. That is why for this track you are only supposed to go in one direction. In this case, counter clockwise. Still you will have those people that either dont know how to drive or just wanna be idiots and bump into everybody or both. You must be 54 inches tall to drive, at least 42 to ride. Before you are even let on to the track, you have those measuring sticks there at the entrance. Make sure to buckle up or the attendant walking around will not let the fun begin. Each car can fit two people if one is not tall enough to drive. There is only the one gas pedal on the left. To slow down or stop, simply just take your foot off the pedal. Or you can just bump into somebody if you wanna stop right away. To back up towards whatever direction you wanna go just turn the steering wheel to all the way to the extreme right or left. In the end, even after all this info, some people just dont know how to drive. Dont let any of these people drive you to the hospital. If im not mistaken I think the overall time given to drive around is 5 minutes. Yelp 2014 365 Review Challenge #172 "Road rage starts here"

As seen, in my Pics The Gift Shop's items' isn't priced too badly; there were some items that I was considering, but you know how it is, after the Holidays, your bank account is pretty lean; I have a lot of people to buy for, I've got a large family. There were five Grinch- themed trees. Many of the trees were decorated very nicely. It's a beautiful sight to see. We went on the Carousel, and we did two rounds of Mini-Golf, which was fun. We also went down the Avalanche twice. Stringbean went three times. Gone are the years of seeing all of the Gingerbread Houses. Now, there are a lot of fundraising food/drink stands, I get it, it's an organization.

    I got to go to Opportunity Village and or Magical Forrest this year after almost a decade. I used…read moreto bring my kids here but now my grandkids. As expected, they had a great time. There was so much to do. They have the big giant awesome slide. The line was kinda long so we didn't do that. They had a Santa shop where you can have pics with Santa. Santa was so nice and we got good high quality pictures. We also tried the carousel and my grandson loved it. There were also lot of small shops that you. A buy small Cute stuff and trinkets. The Magical Forest is still MAGICAL! The lights are awesome and the train goes through it. Of course the highlight is the TRAIN and it went around the magical forest. This is an awesome place to go and the entrance is very affordable. The kids will love it. Advice to go early so you'll get to do everything. And try the hot cocoa and funnel cakes.

    What can I say? My kids love them some good ole sharks. So we come here and they never…read moredisappoint. There's sharks aplenty. Hammerhead! Saw tooth shark. Komodo dragon. Snake. Huge fishes. And an ancient SE Asian ruin theme that just makes it all the more majestic and Indiana Jonesy. I got an annual pass and in 2 months we went maybe 3 times and it's always awesome. Even without the kids, I swear I can just sit there in the shark area and meditate and listen to the underwater sounds and it's just so peaceful and soul refreshing.

    During our visit, we attended a piranha talk and presentation. We also explored exhibits featuring…read moreAsian fish and lizards, sharks, and stingrays. One of the more interesting features was a ship-like viewing area that allowed children to see animals swimming both underneath and above them through the glass. This gave younger visitors another way to observe the animals closely. Stingray Touch Pool The stingray touch pool was much less accessible for small children. The stingrays usually stayed near the bottom of the pool, making them difficult for younger children to reach. Children were not permitted to sit or lie on the stone surrounding the pool for safety reasons, but there was no alternative provided, such as a secured step platform or designated raised viewing area. This meant that parents often had to lift and hold their children over the edge so they could see or attempt to touch the stingrays. That could create its own safety concern for both the parent and child. A staff member suggested that a child could lie on their stomach to reach farther into the pool. However, this may not work well for children who have sensory sensitivities, physical limitations, discomfort with pressure on their stomach, or developmental delays. The exhibit would be more inclusive if it offered a safe alternative for shorter children, such as: * A secured, nonslip step platform * A lower section of the pool designed for children * A raised glass viewing window * A staff-supported touch opportunity * Clear accessibility options for children with sensory or physical needs The touch pool was an exciting concept, but the current design made it difficult for many younger children to participate independently and safely.
