Is the Stratosphere haunted by the ghosts of its former suicide victims? Some say without a doubt, y

The Stratosphere Casino Hotel is one of the most imposing, monumental structures in all of Las Vegas. It's not only the tallest structure in Sin City, it's the 9th tallest structure and absolute tallest observation tower in the US. As impressive as it is, for some unfathomable reason, people seem to have the uncontrollable urge to leap from its 1,149ft observation deck. Thus, the Stratosphere has gained a reputation as one of the most haunted casino hotels in Las Vegas.
No one knows exactly why four people have willing plummeted to their death from atop the tower. The structure's unfortunate nature started well before the hotel and casino were actually erected. When the architecture was originally conceived, the design would have seen the Stratosphere towering over 1,800ft (553 meters), surpassing the world's current largest free-standing structure, the CN Tower. Due to its proximity to McCarran International Airport, the design had to be revised multiple times resulting in the prodigious 1,149 foot landmark we know today.
It took a total of six years, from concept to completion, before the Stratosphere opened its doors in 1996. Amid construction in 1993, a fire broke out that caused multiple delays in the construction, although thankfully, none were injured in the process. The observation deck was designed with safety of guests in mind, including a moat and 4ft concrete wall between two high metal fences and an alarm system to immediately alert security should anyone attempt to scale them. Apparently, that wasn't sports car rentals tx enough.
On January 7, 2000, the first suicide occurred at the Stratosphere Casino Hotel. Mitchell Mayfield, a 24 year old man, scaled both fences in six seconds flat, leaping to his death instantly after. According to witnesses, his body hit the parking sports car rentals tx garage roof before landing in the bushes below.
A 16 year Las Vegas native, Levi Presley, climbed over the barricade on July 15, 2002. Security was alerted and arrived just in time to beg him not to do it, but the young man only hesitated long enough to say "bye-bye" before letting himself drop from the edge.
An Alabama woman by the name of Melanie Bell stayed at the hotel in March of 2005. A television producer, she was on location sports car rentals tx to film an Elvis impersonator show. Her impending suicide was foreshadowed when just days prior she asked the imitation-Elvis "has anyone jumped off that before?" The morning after filming was wrapped up, she purchased a ticket to the observation deck, calmly scaled the fence and vaulted from the tower to her death.
The last suicide sports car rentals tx at the Stratosphere occurred on February 4, 2006 when 27 year old Neil Roberts of Bristol, England took the plunge around 8:15pm. Police were forced to close Las Vegas Boulevard so that his body could be properly examined and removed.
To this day, guests of the Stratosphere sports car rentals tx claim to see ghostly apparitions in and around the Stratosphere, believed to be the spectral remnants sports car rentals tx of those who committed suicide from atop the immense tower. Some have reported mysterious cold spots as well.
Many a guest has sat down to dinner at the hotel's Top of the World only to be shocked beyond belief at the sight of what appears to be yet another suicide taking place, or perhaps the phantom replay of a ghost repeating his/her sports car rentals tx dive from the observation deck, but in reality it is only the Stratosphere's sports car rentals tx famous Sky Jump, a speed-controlled bungee-jumping attraction that lets visitors safely dive from the tower.
Is the Stratosphere haunted by the ghosts of its former suicide victims? Some say without a doubt, yes, though it is interesting to note that the arrangement of the windows results in unforeseen reflections of the sun and moon from all directions, causing bright spots as well as shadows to appear in photographs. However, the cold spots may be a little harder to explain.
