"With our bathing suits tucked in our oversized purses we headed to Radius, the 25th floor roof top pool lounge at the Stratosphere where we spent the rest of the day recovering from our three previous busy days and soaking in the hot desert sun without dying from it’s heat. It was the perfect way to end our time in Vegas, relaxing before we had to make our way to dinner and then to the airport for our midnight flights back home."

"If you dare (and we’re triple dog daring you), take the 829-foot plunge via The Sky Jump at the Stratosphere for an ultimate adrenaline rush.

However, if you prefer the safer side of things, this ain’t for you, Boo."
