    The Stratosphere hotel and casino is one of the hottest places to go if you have a head for heights. The tower, at a massive 115 stories, gives you an unbeatable view of the Strip, permitting you to see with a bird's eye view. In many cases, you'll get to see the birds below, as well. If you are also interested in flying high, at the tip of the tower, you can be launched an additional 160 feet on a thrilling ride. While the tower doesn't have the hotel rooms, many of the rooms have fantastic views of the tower looking overhead.

    The Stratosphere spacious rooms are designed to make certain that you are comfortable while emphasizing modern settings with two queen-size beds, a comfortable sitting area, and a lavish bathroom with plush towels and toiletries. The coffee-making facilities were well stocked, and there was a fridge crammed with alcohol . There are a variety of different room features at your disposal to help make certain that you can enjoy your stay and the best is that it has a weekday and weekend stay special that rooms are available for only $35 on weekdays and $85 on weekends! cheaper than staying at Motels! Plus the Buffet here are cheap! Courtyard buffet offer $18 lunch and $24 dinner buffets and Luck's Cafe Offers Midnight specials like a 12 ounce Rib eye steak for only S12 and Top of the World restaurant offers Colorado Rack of Lamb and Chateaubriand 3-course dinner for two.

    The tower is one of the jewels of Las Vegas, towering above the hotels and casinos at a massive 151 stories. The needle, extending it a further 160 feet, shoots riders high up in the air for a thrill that won't be forgottenn plus it has insane rides at the top called Big Shot, Insanity and X-thrill!

    The Stratosphere is the northernmost of the major Strip casinos and the only one actually in the City of Las Vegas, as the rest of the strip south of Sahara Avenue is in the suburbs of Paradise and Winchester. Following its completion in 1996 it was initially less popular than first envisioned due to its location on the extreme north end of the strip, far away from the most popular hotel casinos. But its low room prices and unique offerings eventually ensured its success. While many tourists consider its location to be inconvenient, others feel the location is an advantage since it is equidistant between the more popular strip casinos and the downtown area (which includes the Fremont Street Experience) PLUS Public Buses ply the Las Vegas Boulevard route wherein you pay $2 for a one way ride up the the end of the strip at Mandalay Bay but better take the 24 Hour $5 Buss pass as it is more cheaper means of Transportation in/around the Various Casino's and Attractions in the Strip.

    The casino, spanning 86,000 square feet, has a variety of games that can please any level of gambler. There are different table and slot games available, so you can have all of the fun you could want, regardless of which type is your favorite

    Stratosphere Hotel and Casino: Don't Book at the end of the Strip!    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Stratosphere is too far away. It's located at the end of the strip (street). However, there are buses that goes back and forth the city! You might like to buy a weeks's bus pass if you want to explore the different hotels in the strip.

    I have stayed in different hotels in Las Vegas everytime I go there. Believe me, we go there every year. Sometimes twice a year... But, I always chose hotels close where the action is. Never at the end of the strip.

    There are many things to see at night and walking is the best way to go. After watching all those hotel attractions at night, your energy might be gone to go back to your hotel. All you needed to do is go back to your hotel and collapse and sleep!

    The Stratosphere is very nice I think. The games are exciting like the Drop. That's pretty scary. It's fun for people who are daring...

  • Stayed here with some girlfriends and we had a room in the Towers. It was nicely decorated and was very satisfied with the cleanliness. The people here were very friendly and helpful.

    At that time, the older neighborhood was right up against the hotel, so security was an issue with us. So just keep an eye on everything and everyone around you when you are in the parking area.

    Has an 80,000-square-foot casino, 6 restaurants, salon, spa, two huge pools, spa, salon, high speed- internet access, indoor and outdoor fitness centers and some pretty neat Tower Shops.

    The Stratosphere Tower is situated at the far north end of the strip....Once inside there is a very large casino,Shopping Arcade bar,restaurant,Night club....you name it...there is everything like all other Hotels on the strip.
    The room was quite,large with modern furniture and very clean.
    This hotel is structurally as a tower and is the highest point looking over LAS VEGAS.
    At 1,149 feet the Stratosphere Tower is the tallest free standing observation tower in the United States and the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.
    From the observation decks.lounge,restaurants,meetings,banquet and private dining rooms,guests enjoy panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding valley.
    One can also go straight to the top floor and especially at night see the whole of LAS VEGAS ...while the top of the tower is slowly rotating!!
    Also for the more adventurous type and with a good hearth condition ...paying customers can be strapped in a carriage on the top part of the tower which will be levered out of the tower as to create a space floating feeling for the riders......crazy only to see it...let alone try it!!

    Well i walked all along the whole of the strip once and from the Stratosphere Tower Hotel to the end of the strip took me nearly 4 hours....

  • I was booked into this hotel as part of a bus/coach tour, so I had no option as to the accomodation

    I did some research, on this site and others and received conflicting reports. Some semd to hate it and had appalling rooms while others had a great time.

    Well, I fall into the latter category. I found very little lacking (other than no safe in the room) and was satisfied with the room and the service I received.

    The real downside to this hotel is the fact that it is located at the far end of the Strip (in fact it's so far down, I hesitate to call it a Strip hotel). It's not really near any of the other hotels and you will need a car to visit those or, as I did, take a public bus.

    The price is what make this an attractive proposition. You can get a reasonable stay at lower room rates than can be found elsewhere on the 'main' Strip.

    On the other hand, if you are a player, you will find lower minimum table stakes here.

  • the stratosphere is a budget hotel and casino located on the north end of the strip. the stratosphere is a good value but it's location is quite a distance from the heart of the strip. you can take the "duce" bus from the stratosphere to the center of the strip or to downtown.

  • 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.

  • The main attraction of this hotel is the Stratosphere Tower. With its height of 1.149 feet it is the tallest freestandig observation tower of the United States.

    From its observation deck you have a wonderful view on the whole city as well as the surrounding valley.

    On top of the observation deck there is a roller coaster which is said to be the tallest of the world. What a thrill on this height!

    Stratosphere Hotel and Casino: Best Value on the Strip    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Stratosphere is easily the best value on the strip. The rooms are clean and modern. I had a room in the Premier Tower with a great view of the north end of the strip. The Casino is 80,000 square feet and the tower shops have all that you would expect from a hotel on the strip. The Stratosphere has several bars and restaurants located throughout the casino and the friendliest staff that I've encountered in all of Las Vegas. Of couse, The Stratosphere isn't as luxurious as Bellagio or Venetian, but your paying a fraction of the price!

    You have to take the elevator to the the top of the Stratosphere Tower at night. The view is spectacular!

    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. The Stratosphere Hotel and Casino opened in 1996 with 1500 rooms.

    Thrill seekers can enjoy excitement over 100 stories above the ground on the Big Shot thrill ride and the High Roller roller coaster, which is the world highest roller coaster as it takes riders around the outside of the pod. With 32 degree angles the High Roller literally takes riders over the edge.
