This is where we laid our heads to rest after a whirlwind day of sightseeing. The hotel is nice and comfortable, although we didn't spend a lot of time there!
The Strat is north of all the other casinos on the Strip, and it's a long walk just to the Sahara, the closest casino. It's best for people with cars, or who don't mind mass transit or shuttles.
What You Get Bottles of in the Bathroom: You get shampoo and conditioner in tower-shaped bottles.
Really, did you go to Vegas to sit in the room or did you go to explore this wildly entertaining city? Right.
I did like our hotel. Not as crowded or loud as some of the others in the middle of the strip...nice and comfy.
Top of the World: This is one of the most expensive restaurants in Las Vegas. It is at the top of the Stratosphere Tower, so the views are spectacular. Everything comes a la carte, meaning if you order a steak, you pay an extra $5 for the potato, and then more for the vegetables and dessert. It can be very romantic, and if you really want to impress someone, book a reservation for sunset and watch the valley twinkle in the twilight. If you want a good deal, though, check out the lunch menu here, which starts just over $10 and includes a free ride up the tower. The view's nicer at night, because during the day you see all the smog hanging over the valley, but we can't afford to be picky.
At 1,149 feet, the Stratosphere Tower is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.
From the observation decks, lounge, restaurant, meeting & banquet space and private dining rooms, guests enjoy panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding valley.
The High Roller roller coaster is the world's highest roller coaster! At 909 feet above the ground, the High Roller rockets around the tower pod on 840 feet of track banking sharply at 32-degree angles, traveling approximately 32 miles per hour.
The Big Shot thrill ride catapults 16 riders from the 921-foot high platform up the Tower's mast to a height of 1,081 feet. Traveling at 45 miles per hour, riders experience 4G's as they reach the very top, and feel negative G's on the way down.
There's also the Tower Shops for those who want to shop rather than scream.

I stayed at the Stratosphere hotel for just one night in July of 2005.
Located at the far end of the north strip its a couple of miles away from the main center strip and so the rooms are much cheaper than most hotels along the strip.
You can normally get a room for between $30.00 and $80.00 during the week,and anything from $90.00 to $150.00 over the weekend,depending on the time of year.
My room in the world tower cost $103.00 for a Saturday night,and although only basic it was quite large and clean with a nice king bed,tv,table and chairs and an average sized bathroom with shower/bath.
The view from the small window was not great,but you could see the mountains in the distance which was nice,and of course you can easily upgrade to a strip view if you wish for a few extra dollars.
The area to the north of the Strat is a bit iffy to say the least,so dont wander to far,especially after dark.
My personal favorite thing about this hotel is the Tower and the 4 rides at the top of it,which i always ride a few times on every trip,the new recently opened ride Insanity is a great addition if you dont mind being hung over the edge of a 10,000 foot high tower being spun around with only a bar holding you in your seat...lol.
If your looking for a cheap hotel and are not worried about the location then this is just fine.
Since writing this one of the 4 rides "The High Roller" has now been dismantled and rumors suggest a new ride or a nightclub will replace it sometime in the future.

Although not exactly on the strip, the hotel is still a great place to stay. The 301 bus which travels the length of Las Vegas Boulevard stops outside the hotel, this takes you to The Strip hotels or Fremont Street. The monorail that goes from Sahara to the MGM Grand is a short walk from the hotel.
The facilities here are what you would expect from a Vegas hotel, there's a spacious casino area, lots of bars & eating options. The main show here is American Superstars, an impersonator show.
Can't say anything negative about my stay here, check in & out was easy, the rooms clean & tidy, all the staff I came into contact with were courteous & professional.
The main attraction of the hotel is the 1149 foot tower. At the top there is a revolving restauarant, shops, an indoor & outdoor observation deck. for thrill seekers there are 3 rides atop the tower, Insanity, X-Scream & Big Shot. If you don't fancy those the view from the tower of the city is awesome, try to visit at sunset.

Stratosphere is one of the cheapest hotels on the strip, and very good value for your money. I have stayed there at both my visits to Vegas, and would not hesitate to stay there again. I really recommend that you have a car at your disposal whilst there, as it is quite far from the centre of the strip, and you will be dehydrated after walking for 5 minutes in the Vegas-sun. Nevertheless, the rail-system in Vegas runs from the Sahara which is located next door to the Stratosphere, and the trains leave often. Did I mention that you can drive some of the worlds coolest cars at Sahara??! Visit: http://www.thedrivevegas.com/ for more information. The price is LOW, and you drive at a marked track with an instructor.
The poker room at Stratosphere is great, with several pleasant tournaments running both day and night (ranging from $50-$100 freeze out). The rooms are spacious and clean, they've got several buffet options, a shopping mall and even a Mac Donald's restaurant inside the hotel! (Did I hear "Only in America?)...
Uh.. I guess the 1,149 foot tower outside can be considered to be one of the Stratosphere's "unique qualities". If you stay at the hotel, you get a free pass to the tower at daytime (at least we did). I really recommend this, even though you have to suffer through a long line. We had breakfast at the top one day, and the service and food was great!
