Highlights of the Gateway District
One of the biggest attractions of the Gateway District is The STRAT Hotel, Casino & SkyPod, formerly known as the Stratosphere. People love to visit for the thrill rides that include a vertical catapult and the X-Scream roller coaster that was inspired by a teeter-totter. The hotel is one of the tallest structures in the city, and you can catch panoramic views of the surrounding area from its heights.
Themed wedding chapels are also ubiquitous in this area, including the famous Little White Wedding Chapel that has seen such celebrities as Michael Jordan, Slash, and Judy Garland come through its doors. Just down the street, you'll find a wide range of shops selling vintage fashions, collectibles, antiques, and boutique goods. At some point, you're sure to get hungry. Here you can find microbrew pubs, pizzerias, burger joints, and other restaurants ranging from fast food to indie places.
