Whether you choose to simply have a drink in the bar or enjoy dinner, this is an absolutely breathtaking option. The highest structure in the US, west of the Rockies, you will never tire of the view as the restaurant revolves 360 degrees during your dinner. Don't be put off by the location of the Statosphere at the end of the Strip - get a cab - don't walk as it looks deceptively close. The Stratosphere itself is a low budget hotel and you may feel dubious on your way to the restaurant, but don't be put off - the ambience in the restaurant does not reflect the rest of the establishment.

A visit to the neon bone yard is an opportunity to get access to a Las Vegas rarity - physical history. In a city where everything new is held sacred, and anything old is disposed of, the neon bone yard is the equivilent of the Louvre. Wander around and marvel at the art of neon -and appreciate the size and scale of these masterpieces. An ecclectic mix of the giant silver slipper and Denny's restaurant signs nestle together in the Nevada desert sand.
Tours are private and by appointment only. Its a charitable organisation running the bone yard. Costs are: For 10 people or more its $5 each.
For 10 people and less its a minmum fee of $50 for the group.
Further information and online booking is available at www.neonmuseum.org
