Big Shot

Big Shot is the thrill ride at the top of the STRAT tower on the Las Vegas Strip, listed here under the recreation and attractions category rather than as a youth program. It launches riders upward from a platform roughly 900 feet above the ground, and the listing describes it simply as a thrill ride with high-altitude and panoramic views.

The age bracket on file is 15 to 18, which reads more like a minimum-age or height-and-age restriction typical of extreme thrill rides than a program built for a range of childhood ages. Families with younger kids should treat this as a teen and adult attraction, not a general kids activity, and should verify current age or height requirements directly with the STRAT before planning a visit, since this record only reflects one age band.

Hours are listed as 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, year-round. The price range on file is $$, a moderate tier, though no dollar figure is provided here, so check current ticket pricing on the STRAT website before visiting. The location is 2000 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89104, at the STRAT hotel and casino complex. For questions, call (702) 383-5210 or visit thestrat.com/attractions/thrill-rides/big-shot.

Because this is a single attraction inside an adult casino resort rather than a structured youth program, there are no listed programs beyond the ride itself, no scholarship or sibling discount information, and no special needs accommodations on file. Teens visiting should be accompanied by an adult given the resort setting, and this listing is best used by parents scouting a one-time thrill-ride outing for older teens rather than an ongoing activity or class.

Only English is listed under languages spoken for this location. Families should also plan for typical Strip parking and casino-floor navigation to reach the ride platform, since the attraction sits inside a full hotel and casino property rather than a standalone building, and that context is worth factoring into how much time to budget for a visit beyond the ride itself.
