This week the outrageous Mr. Stupak unveils his outsize, outlandish, outer-space vision in an orgasmic burst of fireworks and flackery. The fourth tallest building in the U.S. (fifth, if you count the World Trade Center twice), the Stratosphere opens with 1,500 rooms and 97,000 sq. ft. of casino space, and a promenade with a handsomely designed World's Fair theme.
