I don't think I could do it.
I have insomnia again, so I have been browsing around the internet and I decided to just go through google images and look at stuff.
I googled all kinds of things, monsters, various kinds of surgical procedures, hairstyles, flowers, shoes, cars, and then I googled hotels and came across the Stratosphere hotel.
I really do not think that I could ever stay at this hotel.
Ever.
It is 113 stories high.
It is 1,149 feet high, and is the tallest building in the west!
I love roller coasters and thrill rides, but at the top of this hotel, they have rides, extreme rides.
There's the 866 foot high X-Scream teeter-totter, the Big Shot, and Insanity, the Ride.
At the top of the hotel.
Ack!
I really do love roller coasters and thrill rides, but I am not a fan of heights, really big heights, so a roller coaster or ride at the top of this hotel would absolutely make me puke, I just don't think I could do it.
I would try it, maybe.
haha
No really, if I could, I would go to Vegas, I would go all of the way up there, I would buy my ticket, I would get on, and then I would have to keep my eyes closed the entire time.
I know that if I opened them and realized that I was at almost 900 feet off the ground, that I would be in an absolute panic and that would make me puke.
Maybe. haha
No, I could probably do it, I'm sure that I could do it, I really do love roller coasters and fast speeds, and roller coasters go by so fast, that the ride would be over so quickly that I wouldn't even have time to realize how far off the ground I was.
I would definitely do it if I could.
Yeah, I would definitely do it.

I lived in Vegas for nearly a year, I never made it up to the top of the Stratosphere. I am not afraid of heights in the slightest, but that place gives me the willies.

I'm scared of heights, too. I sort of freak out over this one elevator at a train station I have to go to, that is all glass.
Still, I've been to the top of the Prudential building and Hancock tower, the tallest buildings in Boston. When I was in high school I went to the top of the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and even the World Trade Center in NYC.
But now...I don't stay in hotels that are more than 4 stories high.

Ha, late-night insomnia-induced browsing; gotta love it. Mine almost always - for some reason - ends at Wikipedia reading about ancient monarchies; esp. queens and princesses & time-worn love affairs. ^_^

I've been to Vegas 15 times and I've never been to the top. It scares the hell out of me.
