"Bob Stupak, who was the sole owner of Vegas World, was the guy who dreamed the tower up in the first place," said Stratosphere President Dave Wirshing. "His idea really was to build a tower that was next to Vegas World. People would visit the tower, come down and likely go into the casino.

"That evolved, as these projects can do, into a full-blown, totally integrated themed resort." As it is now, visitors to the $400 million complex will have to By GARY DRETZKA Chicago Tribune Set to open in April, the newest addition to the Las Vegas skyline the Stratosphere Tower looms over the Strip like a giant clothespin. It is said to be the tallest free-standing observation tower in the United States and the highest building west of the Mississippi, i But what truly makes this project stand out is that at the top a roller coaster will whirl around the outer shell of the structure and a second gravity-defying ride will treat guests like a 4-G yo-yo. For the more timid, there will be indoor and outdoor observation floors just below, as well as a revolving restaurant, lounges, conference rooms and a full floor devoted to weddings (90,000 people get married in Las Vegas each year). At the base of the tower will be a huge gaming, hotel, shopping and entertainment complex themed oDoy JllM.ilM.;JMI'::.',t:,'.Ji::4t i HOTELS PER PERSOUXXBIE OCCUfKNCY Treasure laiand Rsal 3 Days2 Nightt I 339 SunselHouM 4 Davs-li Nhll UX Waslin Casuanna Resort 3 Days'?

On the way, they might also want to explore an aquarium and futuristic theatrical touches throughout the facility. As if two thrill rides on top of a skyscraper weren't enough, there will be a 60-foot-tall animatronic gorilla that, in the future, will scale the legs of the tower on a regular basis and is designed to carry tourists in its belly. When asked, by one potential investor, if this might be considered detrimental to the tower's aesthetic integrity, Wirshing recalled saying: "Maybe with the Space Needle in Seattle or CNN Tower in Toronto, but this is Las Vegas. People come here to see the things they can't see where they live otherwise they should go to Car-mel.

I expect people to come from Seattle to see our tower."
