The Big Shot, atop Stratosphere, is the #1 thrill ride in LV, and memorable for a 15 year old boy (or anyone else).<BR>Shows: &quot;O&quot; and Mystere are both entertaining enough for teen boys.<BR>Pools: Mandalay Bay is the best complex.<BR>

Roller coasters, Magicians and lots of babes.

The Big Shot is a ride which starts almost 1000 feet above the ground on top of the Stratosphere Tower (tallest building west of the Mississippi). You starp into a small seat, legs and arms free, and it shoots you about 30 stories stright up into the air.<BR>The view is amazing, and it's unlike any thrill ride in the world. There's also a roller coaster which wraps around the side of the building 80 stories off the ground which is certainly unique.<BR>Most any teen boy will get a huge kick out of it unless he's really scared of heights.

If he is into Star Trek at all, then Star Trek: The Experience at the Hilton is lots of fun. The Race for Atlantis ride at Caesar's Palace is also good and he might enjoy the free performances at Caesar's Palace. <BR>Blue Man Group is a good show for teenage boys.<BR>He might also like to see Hoover Dam and explore Red Rock Canyon.
