It is neither the Grand Canyon nor the Willis Tower in Chicago, nor the Space Needle in Seattle, nor the Chattanooga watchtop. But the Cloud Ganta offers an absolutely stunning panoramic view of Las Vegas and its surrounding mountains and deserts. It is the best place to see the city, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The 1,149-foot tower is a unique building on the Las Vegas skyline, the tallest independent watchtower in the United States and one of the most popular and exciting tourist attractions.
