How can it be the tallest structure west of the Mississipi? What about the towers in LA? Battle Ape 08:24, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- What towers are you referring to? IIRC, the tallest building in L.A. is the US Bank Tower (73 stories/1018 ft), while the Strat tops out at 1149 ft.Buck O'Nollege 23:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, from the article on the Bank Tower:
"The U.S. Bank Tower (Library Tower, First Interstate World Center) at 633 West Fifth Street in downtown Los Angeles, California is... the tallest North American skyscraper west of Chicago..."
They can't both be the tallest buildings in the American West. Battle Ape 08:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- It all has to do with how you are defining Skyscraper, Building, and Structure. The Stratosphere Tower is not considered a skyscraper, but it is most definitely taller than the U.S Bank Tower. And to confuse issues even further, it is not even the tallest structure in the State of Nevada.
