Stratosphere Model

Undoubtedly, The Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower in Las Vegas is an impressive architectural accomplishment.

Located on Las Vegas Blvd. just north of the Las Vegas Strip, the property’s signature attraction is the 1,149 ft. Stratosphere Tower is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States.

The hotel is a separate building with 24 stories, 2,427 rooms, and an 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m2) casino. It is the tallest building west of the Mississippi River and also the tallest structure in Las Vegas. ( source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratosphere_Las_Vegas )

Stratosphere Scale Model, ITT, Las Vegas, NVThe Stratosphere scale model is currently on display at Las Vegas City Hall, 2nd Floor.

So, it’s only fitting that the drafting and design students at ITT Technical Institute School of Drafting and Design in Las Vegas would take on the challenge of creating a scale model of the epic Stratosphere Tower. And that’s just what they did. Under the tutelage of Professor Michael Andreas, his students accepted the call to create an impressively detailed 1:150 scale architectural model, working lights and all, towering eight feet in height.
