What you are seeing is the Stratosphere.

This is a hotel of the city of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is full of hotels and casinos with the most exotic

architectural forms.

But give it another look!

Do you see anything extraordinary?

Closer.......

The Tower is 350 meters high, equivalent to 110 floors.

It’s a panoramic tower!

We see below, Brasil Telecom Tower in the city of Curitiba. It is

110 meters tall.

gravitational force!

The other "fun ride" is sort of a corridor.

It “simulates” as if it’s going to go into

space…..but it stops at the last

minute.

And now the last one….. People sit on the chairs and see what happens....

The whole unit begins to rotate at high speed.The effect of the centrifugal force causes the mechanism to start to open
