Welcome to our Las Vegas Thrill Rides page!!! Over the course of about 2 years now, we have done all of the coasters in the desert oasis. Although some not as great as others around the country, we have found them to be quite an enjoyable time. When friends or family are in town, we make a point of hitting them.. What better way to show them the "Strip" then atop the Stratosphere tower riding the "Big Shot" or riding the "Manhattan Express" in the N.Y. N.Y. hotel casino plus many more????

Well now on to pics of friends and family, riding the rides!!!!

Starting with the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino.. Atop there tower stands The BIG SHOT" Shoots you up at 45 M.P.H, from the 921 foot level to the 1081 feet level in 2.5 seconds. Then lets you free-fall back to the launching pad. You hit 4 G's on the way up and 0 G's on the way down. This is for thrill seekers only!!!

This was my second time on the "Big Shot" but of course not my last!!! Scott helped us move here in 99 and being the THRILL seeker he is we had to take time out from unpacking to catch a few rides

So is this a look of fear or what???

Well here I go again only this time it's Darrell my older brother, who came over from LA for a Great White concert! what better way to end the night after a great concert then to hit the "Big Shot"

One night our good friend Rich was in town and what better way to show him the town then yes, you guessed it from the "Big Shot"!!!

Rich loved the ride up, but coming down is what got him..

Well at last the SMART men all together on the Big Shot Aug. 12th 2000!!
