The Stratosphere Tower is 1,149 feet (350 meters) tall, the tallest structure in Las Vegas or the entire state of Nevada. In fact, it’s the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and the second tallest in the whole Western Hemisphere and it’s not even on our list of the ten tallest buildings in Las Vegas, considering it’s not a building. Neither is the 540 feet (165 meters) Eiffel tower at the Paris Las Vegas.

Our list of tallest consist of buildings that may or may not be inhabited. They must be finished or at least topped our at their designed height and that requirement makes the 735 feet (224 meters) Fountainebleau the tallest building in Las Vegas or Nevada. Las Vegas has more than 160 high rise structures with 40 of those buildings by 400 feet tall. An approved 815 foot tall (248 meters) building to house the World Jewelry Market planned for downtown Las Vegas is on hold until the current economic picture brightens.
