The resort has 660 rooms that are priced to please the family budget.  There are four wings in the hotel, which offers a nice change from the typical skyscrapers that line the Nevada horizon.  The outlet malls are close by where high fashion stores are marked down to outlet prices.

The Desperado is the resort rollercoaster.  At the top height of the rollercoaster you can take in the stunning view from 209 feet before you fall into a twisted maze of terrifying fun.  The Desperado has been voted in the top ten of all time best roller coasters in North America.

The kids will love the resort’s arcade.  There are hundreds of games that promise to satisfy everyone.  For the thrill seeker there is the amazing Turbo Drop; the ride that takes you 170 feet in the air only drop you straight back down at 45 miles per hour.

If a less exuberant experience is what you’re looking for settle in at the Vault and discover 3-D at its very best.  You could ride a magic carpet through the dessert or take a ghost cart thrill ride down an old mineshaft.  Kids will love the log ride where the water is in charge and the rapids take you down the waterfall.

The Primm Valley Resort has plenty for the children but also has a hot casino nightlife that will keep you going all night long.  There are over 3000 slots and table games to keep you winning all night long.

The Changing Face of Vegas

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

 

            Gambling and gaming has come a long way over the last hundred years. The early associations with gaming and gambling in this country were those of seedy back room bars, poker in the Wild West, and people shooting street craps in dusty streets and back alleys. Things may have remained that way for many years, but now, the entire gambling and gaming landscape has changed. Over the last several years we have gone from reviling gambling to glorifying it. We make movies showing the charm and appeal of gambling and casinos, we televise poker and make it one of the most popular nontraditional programs on sporting networks, and before that, we built an entire city around the notion of the casino. The transformation of Las Vegas mirrors the transformation of the way the country views gaming and gambling, because in a very real way, Las Vegas IS gaming and gambling.

 

            The Stratosphere Las Vegas is a shining example of the progress of the city. This casino resort and hotel marks its place clearly in the Vegas skyline, and is one of the visually most identifiable casinos currently on the strip. The hotel follows the pattern of many of the huge resorts and casinos in the city by offering great discount packages which combine a stay at one of the many well appointed rooms with a variety of other amenities in an affordable and attractive packaged deal. These packages include unlimited buffet passes, tickets to the great shows, or a room and party package which includes an unlimited happy hour.

 

            The Stratosphere in Las Vegas is now a perfect example of what people expect now when they start thinking about booking a holiday to the city. They expect class, luxury, high rolling gaming and nickel slots side by side. Great food is a must in any Vegas vacation, as is a wide offering of fantastic entertainment and stage shows.  The best thing about the recent trend in Las Vegas has been to make all of these luxuries affordable. The hotel chains, travel agents, and airlines have been coming together in strength to offer extremely affordable vacation packages to Las Vegas from all over the country. This trend has made these luxurious vacation experiences a lot more affordable to the general population, which has in turn made Vegas a more popular vacation destination than ever before.  It’s come a long way from throwing dice in a dirty back alley.
