Big Shot, Tower ride at The STRAT Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Big Shot pneumatic tower propels riders 160 feet upward at 45 miles per hour from the observation deck of The STRAT Hotel.

Opening on April 29, 1996, the Big Shot became one of the first two attractions at The STRAT tower, generating more interest than its companion ride.

The Big Shot represents Las Vegas's transformation into a destination that combines entertainment with extreme thrills at extraordinary heights above the city.

Visitors need to measure at least 48 inches tall and can purchase single ride tickets for $29 or unlimited passes for $43.95.

The ride elevates passengers from 921 feet to 1,081 feet above ground level, making it one of the highest amusement rides globally.
