Thrill Rides

Thrill Rides at The STRAT is the amusement ride attraction high above the Las Vegas Strip at 2000 Las Vegas Blvd S. It is listed for ages 5 to 18 across two brackets, 5-12 and 13-18, though families should note this sits atop a resort tower and is more of a tourist attraction than a structured youth program, so it fits best as an outing rather than an ongoing activity.

The lineup includes Big Shot, Insanity, and X-Scream, three named thrill rides, along with thrill ride packages that bundle access. These are the kind of high-intensity rides built around height and speed, so families should check posted height and age minimums for each individual ride before a visit, since a listed age range for the attraction overall does not guarantee every ride is appropriate for every child in that range.

On site amenities include restrooms, nearby dining, a gift shop, and observation deck access with the purchase of tickets, which means a visit can extend into a broader look at the Strip beyond just the rides themselves. Hours run daily from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM, year round, so this is strictly an afternoon-into-evening outing rather than a morning activity.

The listing places pricing at the mid tier, two dollar signs, which points to a cost above budget attractions but the exact ticket price is not posted here. Given the location inside a Strip resort, parking, resort fees, or additional costs beyond the ride tickets themselves are worth asking about directly.

For current pricing, ride height requirements, and hours, call (800) 789-9436 or visit stratospherehotel.com. Because the ride deck sits atop a resort tower, this works well paired with a broader Strip trip rather than as a standalone destination, and families should plan for the daily start time of 2:00 PM rather than expecting morning access. Booking ahead online can also help avoid a wait once on site, since ticket lines for a Strip attraction can move slowly during peak evening hours.
