Paging Harry Reid..
Just being on top of the Stratosphere made me ill. I’m no engineer but its construction appears light and flimsy.
Oh harry you don’t need a cable, the ground will just come up and catch you.
I’ve never been to Vegas, but as I’ve aged, I’ve gotten to where I HATE rides. Oddly enough, I just spent the day teaching rappelling.
I think Vegas is amazing and I don’t gamble or smoke and am a very light drinker.
Everything is BIG and the people watching is neat.
It’s very safe and clean!
Bless your heart for visiting Nevada for vacation. :)
