Las Vegas Roller Coaster On Top of The Stratosphere

Las Vegas is set in the same universe as fellow NBC series Crossing Jordan. In the Season 2 episode "Two of a Kind," a case brought Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh (Jill Hennessy) and Det. Woody Hoyt (Jerry O'Connell) to Las Vegas. Woody and Sam got very well acquainted and maintained a long distance relationship. However, as of the Season 4 episode "History of Violins," the relationship seemed to be over. Jordan and Danny also become involved, but both agreed it was only for fun, and no relationship came from it. [RCWVIDEO title="Scream X Stratosphere Las Vegas NV" thumbnail="

The hotel is a separate building with 24 stories, 2,427 rooms and an 80,00060;sq60;ft (7,40060;m2) casino. It is the tallest building west of the Mississippi River and also the tallest structure in Las Vegas. The Stratosphere is owned and operated by American Casino Entertainment Properties. Are you thinking it's too hot to go outdoors in Las Vegas. Actually Las Vegas does have seasons. In January the average daytime temperature is 58 degrees! Here's what most people don't know. There's almost a 10,000 foot difference in elevation from the area around Lake Mead (30 miles from the Strip) to Charleston Peak, which soars 11,918 feet into the air! You lose four degrees for every 1,000 feet you ascend. When it's 100 degrees in Las Vegas, it's only 70 degrees in Mt. Charleston, 35 miles from the Strip. In the early 2000s, the company attempted to get approval for a roller coaster that would run from several hundred feet up the tower and, in the last proposal, across Las Vegas Boulevard. Part of that last proposal included an entry monument on the ride over Las Vegas Boulevard welcoming people to the City of Las Vegas. The Las Vegas City Council did not approve the project due to objections from the neighbors over possible noise from the enclosed cars on the proposed ride.
