X-Scream

"Beautiful Views!"
September 2023
SkyPod at the STRAT was my very first observation deck ever! The elevator ride was super quick to the top, and there was a staff member inside with us. Once you exit the elevator, there is a bar and the most incredible views. If you'd like you can go up a few more levels and go outside. Definitely do it! I am scared of heights and did okay with the entire experience. The views are totally worth it!
