Going to Vegas in Jan. I am absolutely going to ride that roller coaster on top of

the Stratosphere!


What is the weather typically like in Jan?

Have fun.

2. Don't think it is still there....

Rode it once and it is not all that scary. BUT, there is one moment when you get a good direct look at the ground and man oh man......

In Vegas the best thing is the Fly-Away. You fly. Indoor parachuting or something like that. Funa as hell, expensive but worth it...

5. re: weather

It's the stinking desert. I've been there in January and it's 85 other times its 38 and blowing cold off the Sierras.

6. I hope it is warm

I hate Winter here and will be looking forward to some warmth by that time!

7. It should be mostly warm. But there may be some rain. Do not forget

Stratosphere. Do not let anybody talk you out of it. You will love it. They have several rides up there, but just the view of the city. On a clear day. It's worth it.
You can go parachuting anyplace, but if you do, use an airplane.
But there is only 1 Stratoshpere in all the world. Las Vegas.
Enjoy.

9. I left Vegas yesterday afternoon. It was 55 degrees at 4:00.

First time I've ever been comfortable in that town.
