Coverage[]
The Stratosphere Tower is featured in Sin City Meltdown starting in 1 week after people where the show introduce the tower which looms over the scene of desolation. It then give information to the tower; it is the tallest free-standing observation tower in the United States standing at 1,149 feet taller than the Space Needle and the Eiffel Tower, part of a hotel complex, and showing it's most distinctive features; the highest amusement rides in the world with one that dangled visitors 64 feet over the edge of the tower on a mechanical arm. But since people disappeared, the screams of thrill-seekers no longer echo across the Las Vegas valley.
Its fate is revealed in 300 years after people, while the foundation of the Stratosphere Tower is weakened, it has to endure tremors within Nevada which faults near Las Vegas can have to unleash events as large as the 1994 Northridge quake that jolted Los Angeles. Bob Raynolds stated while the buildings in Las Vegas is in a relatively dry climate that one think would last a long time, many of the buildings will be shaken down. Richard Gutkowski also stated that an earthquake will have a toppling failure of the tower if one of the corner is lost at the base and it tilted over, it could have the Leaning Tower of Pisa effect.
Then a violent quake lashes Las Vegas, the Stratosphere Tower also lashes back and forth like a whip causing one of the supports to lose from its base and its fall is agonizingly slow. At the rate of 150 miles per hour, the big observation pods hits the ground and the entire tower smashing in a cloud of debris. This cause a blanket of dusts to hangs over the city's remain in the Meadows rubble.
