What defines a skyscraper?
I am, quite obviously, not an architect but I was wondering what the definition of a "skyscraper" is? I am using the example of the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino, in Las vegas. Why is it not listed among the taller buildings in the world? Is it that its not an office building, or that a large stretch of the tower is not inhabited?
What defines a skyscraper? I guess that is what I am asking
