X-Scream, at the STRAT Hotel, Casino & Skypod, takes the idea of an adult playground to a whole new level. Imagine an oversized teeter-totter, 866 feet off the ground, because that’s exactly what the X-Scream is. Right next to the infamous SkyPod, the X-Scream launches riders 27 feet over the edge of the SkyPod. You’ll hang weightlessly over the Las Vegas Strip following your leap over the edge. Strap in for another round, after which you’ll be drawn back and thrust over the edge once more. Think you’ll be able to ride without a scream? Don't be too sure.
If you want to plan a day of thrills at the STRAT, other rides and attractions are easily accessible, such as Insanity, SkyJump, Big Shot, and even a turn around the SkyPod. Insanity hangs riders from the side of a building at over 900 feet high, and Big Shot tosses riders 160 feet into the air at 45 mph. SkyJump is a marriage of freefalling and bungee jumping, while the SkyPod offers a less menacing ride and a view of the city.
