Is it true that the rides on top of the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas are gone?
I heard they got rid of the roller coaster, but im not sure about the others
Yes, their rollercoaster (it was called the High Roller) which sat upon the top of the Stratosphere Tower was removed in 2005. They only removed that coaster because it took up a lot of room on the tower, and low guest satisfaction numbers. In place of where the High Roller used to be, they put up a few flat rides that were more thrilling in its kind. You can find pictures and info on the High Roller here: http://rcdb.com/id141.htm
The rides that replaced High Roller as of follows:
X-Scream – A giant teeter-totter that propels you 27 feet over the edge of the Tower, 866 feet above the ground.
Insanity, the Ride – A massive mechanical arm extends 64 feet over the edge of the Tower and spins you at a force of 3 Gs for a truly mind-bending experience.
You can find more info on those rides and stats from their official site: http://www.stratospherehotel.com/thrills/
Oh and by the way, the High Roller was the only ride removed.
Hope that helped!

A penetrating look at Bob Stupak, controversial casino owner and builder of the Stratosphere Tower, the tallest structure west of the Mississippi. Between his early years as the son of a notorious gambling operator in Pittsburgh and the grand opening of the Stratosphere, Stupak raced motorcycles, hustled coupons, gambled for high stakes, and battled the mob while he ran the infamous Vegas World casino.
How far is it from the airport to the Stratosphere in Vegas and how much is it?
If you're cheap like me, and obviously you are if you're frugal enough to be staying at the Stratosphere.
It will cost you $1.25 to take the CAT bus #108 Paradise from McCarran to the Stratosphere. It's 25 minutes by bus from the AP to the Strat.
At McCarran go to "Ground Level Transportation 0" to catch the bus. You could take the #109 Maryland Pkwy South bus to the SSTT and transfer to the Deuce(strip bus) but this way would cost you $3($2.50 for a 24hr CAT pass plus .50c for the transfer to the Deuce)

It's 4.95 miles from McCarran to the Stratosphere

Of course if you would rather, you could stand in the taxi line for an hour(or more) then pay $15-$20.

Stratosphere Vegas: My Video of Insanity
The Stratosphere Vegas is the most prominent landmark in Sin City and can be seen from miles around. Thrill seekers flock to the tower to take rides at the top. This is Insanity, which hangs riders over the edge allowing them to experience the full effect of being nearly 900 feet from the tarmac below!

Stratosphere Vegas…. and Why I’m a Wuss!
On my last trip to Sin City, one of the highlights of the visit was supposed to be enjoying the rides at the top of the Stratosphere Vegas. 
Part of my trip to Vegas was to see my friend get married and she and her parents are thrill ride fanatics. I’ve always loved a good rollercoaster so I initially agreed to join them on Insanity and X-Scream. Of course, when I saw how high the Stratosphere Vegas was close up (the photos don’t do it justice) I started to regret my decision. Thankfully, the only evening they had free to go up the Tower, I was watching Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian with my sister.
Later in the week, on our own visit to Stratosphere I was quick to chicken out – I got butterflies just watching – and without my friend there to egg me on I didn’t even come close to buying that ticket. Instead I enjoyed watching everyone else freaking out on the rides and taking lots of video and photos. I also enjoyed simply being at the top of the Stratosphere and taking in the amazing views.
Part of me wishes I’d had the courage to try at least one of the rides on top of the Stratosphere Vegas but I know I will be visiting again and who knows? I may just pluck up the courage to take the plunge (not literally, I hope).
Stratosphere Vegas: Thrills and Excitement at the Top of Vegas
The Stratosphere Vegas truly is at the top of Vegas. Not only does it stand as a sentinel at the top of the famous Las Vegas Strip, but it is also the tallest structure in Vegas, offering an amazing view of the whole of the city and beyond. At 1149 feet above the Strip, the Stratosphere presents some of the best photo opportunities in town!
Of course, the reason many visitors to Vegas head to the Stratosphere is to experience the ultimate thrill rides at the top (or at least to watch in horror as others enjoy them). If you are an adrenaline junkie and love your scary rides, they don’t get much more terrifying than this. Probably considered the most tame of the three rides, Big Shot takes you to the highest point possible on the tower; but this is no gentle elevator. You are raised 160 feet in just 2.5 seconds, enjoying the same feeling of weightlessness as astronauts, with 4Gs of force.
Then there are the 2 rides that actually take you over the edge of the Stratosphere Vegas. Insanity hangs its riders over the side of the tower using a spider-like arm. Then you are spun in a circle causing you to tilt forward slightly, giving you a great view of the tarmac nearly 1000 feet down.
Finally, X-Scream involves a giant teetertotter (seesaw) that shoots a rollercoaster car out over the side of the Stratosphere tower. Just when the rails run out the car stops suddenly to give riders an awe inspiring view (if they still have their eyes open). Finally, the arm is tilted up again and they roll back to the tower. Let’s just say, that if the car didn’t stop you’d probably end up in the Sahara’s Nascar cafe!
Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the delights of the Stratosphere tower. On busy days you will be given a time slot when you buy your tickets, and even then there is usually a queue for the elevators to the top (and the standard security checks).
But there’s more to the Stratosphere Vegas than a great view and thrill rides. The Stratosphere Tower Hotel offers over 2000 rooms in two 24-storey buildings and an 80,000 square foot casino. It has everything you would expect of a Las Vegas resort – shopping mall, theatre, swimming pool and leisure center.
