| - Ok. Honestly, I feel so bad for everyone that had an immense horrific time here. I really mean that because I didn't. I didn't have high expectations either though because I read all these horrific reviews, but regardless of that, I had a fine time at the Stratosphere.
I did not have any problems with the Stratosphere. My room was immaculately clean, I had a relatively nice view and passes to the top of the Stratosphere. Don't expect the Bellagio or Cesar's Palace when you go though, it's a modest one bedroom, a bathroom normal hotel room. It's like the Marriott of Oakland, Santa Rosa, and Napa. Nothing big and all that fancy, but clean and livable.
I've stayed in The Hotel at the Mandalay Bay and can absolutely see why people could be mortified that such a room existed in Las Vegas, but it was more than a $100 difference in price per night.
My only complaint is it is all the way at the end of the strip. Any further and you'd be in downtown, but me being able-bodied bought a bus ticket and just took it up and down the strip. Not the greatest way to see a city, but not too bad either. Sure beats the Oakland/SF busses.
One of the things I do like a lot because they are in the nar corner of the strip, it's an amazing view up on top of the Stratosphere. Nothing even comparable especially by Paris' cold metal chamber Eiffel Tower look-alike top. I did enjoy that a lot. The casino part of it also gives you great rewards for little play.
So drive here or buy a bus pass for the duration of your stay. It's not so bad. Take a taxi if you can't tell if that was your girlfriend you just kissed or the guy trying to hand you stripper passes.
