| - We stay here for at least one week a year 4 years now.
I've stayed at other places but I like the Strat most by far.
I read some of the other reviews of the Stratosphere before I decided to write mine, so there are a few things that BEG pointing out.
Pretty much every Casino Hotel your going to stay atis LARGE, large means a heck of a walk from the front door to your room, get over it.
If you feel rushed and your paying talk to a manager after your meal or just take your time, without being a jerk. Its totally possible, and sometimes they will even feel bad because they didn't realize that they were making you feel rushed.
Every staff member I ever interacted with here was amazing, from maintenance to the front desk.
I am not much of a gambler but we do play slots and a few other games occasionally, I love the bar when you walk in (C Bar) and Yvonne was a great waitress several years running. (hope she is still around actually)
We go for a convention in January yearly and we've gotten so accustomed to staying at the Stratosphere that we've converted atleast a dozen people from other hodge podge hotels to stay with us here.
Probably the BEST thing about staying here is being able to go to the tower for free. That alone pays for the resort fees. We use it almost daily and you can bring up to 4 people up altogether, so we (as a couple) can bring another couple with us. They have a drink at the Air Bar (I think its called Jetfuel) its amazing, super fun and you get refills at a discount. Thankfully we share and get refills and they don't care.
We've had a few small problems in the dozen or so times we've stayed here, most noteable was the air conditioner making a noise, then dying, we called the front desk and the repair guy came 15 minutes later and replaced it (pulled it out as we were leaving for the day) and ONE oither time we had an issue that I won't even discuss here it was VERY upsetting, but they were SO amazing about it that they upgraded our room and moved us at 1:30am. We were grateful for how well they handled issues and how nice everyone is about any concerns we had.
I also love the diner there, the food is good in the morning or in the evening. The staff there has been nothing if not fun and quirky, fast and entertaining. I will have to review that seperately.
I'm very happy about my experiences here, I like the rooms, the food and the staff.
If you don't like your view, pay to upgrade, if you don't want to pay the resort fees, you should seriously rethink going to Vegas OR you should do some serious research.
I've already made my reservations for January!
