Observation pod and broadcast antenna atop the STRAT Tower on the Las Vegas Strip.

The STRAT Tower rises 1,149 feet above the Las Vegas Strip, the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States. It opened in 1996 as the Stratosphere Hotel, a project developed by Bob Stupak, and now operates under Golden Entertainment. The pod near the top holds observation decks and thrill rides, including the Big Shot and X-Scream. A broadcast antenna extends above the pod, adding roughly 130 feet to the tower's total height.
