only in vegas 3 days - is the statosphere worth checking out - is the view good etc ?
IMO the view is amazing and well worth the trip. Even if you're only there for 3 days, you should still check it out.

I presume you mean the view from the top of the Stratosphere Tower and not from one of the rooms?
I can assure you, once you have got through the queues to get into the power lifts (your ears pop!) the view from both the internal viewing level and the external gallery are stupendous. They are only bettered by the helicopters frequently flying past.
It is a fantastic photo opportunity.
Yes, also the Big Shot is worth doing. At the top, you are just about the tallest object West of the Mississippi.
My suggestion is to go at night. The view in the daytime is not too pleasant with all the industrial and dilapidated housing around the Strat. At night all that disappears in the darkness and the magical illusion of the LV strip takes over.
Does any one now what you must pay to get up there?

About $9.95 per person. The amusement rides are extra.
Thank you for your answer.

Can you revisit later the same day without paying another entry fee? i was wondering if you could view day and night for one price?! Othrwise you'd have to be pretty clever with timing! I guess sunset would be quite amazing, watching the neon all click into life?
Best idea is to go before sundown, you get to see the before and after :) We went and did the rides and all so we spent time up there.
Note that it takes a lot of walking from the casino to the tower entrance, and there is also airport-like security, so expect lines.
I believe you can purchase an unlimited pass (rides, tower, etc.) and you will get a bracelet that will let you do anything for that day.
