At 1,149 feet, the Stratosphere Tower Las Vegas is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. |
Fiber Optics, Strobes, light pipe, custom fixtures, it all had to withstand the highest recorded wind load on earth and then some. They even had to shorten it a bit so the airplanes could get over it. | ||

The 12-story pod -- the diamond -- is criss-crossed with 1 1/2 miles of side emitting fiber-optic cable that change through eight different colors. It's also capable of pulsating and chasing effects that make the pod appear to rotate. "The criss-cross replicates the facets of a diamond. And there are 54 strobe lights, one at each intersection. The flashes resemble facets that reflect like the inside of a diamond. That goes for the animated pulsating light show emitting from directly under the pod that's choreographed to keep step with an original musical score. Everything is operated by a control system that runs as many as 300 simultaneous effects. Depending on where you are you'll see something completely different. The price tag? $2.5 million (This is an award winning project) |
