We were doing a quick, 2 day trip just for fun and I found a good deal on a room at the Stratosphere. I was a little disappointed in how far the hotel was from the main part of the Strip (it's about $20 for a taxi ride to the opposite end) but the room was pretty good. We were on the 24th floor which was pretty quiet. Not much of a view but the bed was big and comfortable. The bathroom is split (toilet/shower and sink) and very small. I wish there was a coffee maker in the room. The hotel itself is much less crowded then all the other Strip ones we've been to which is fine is you're just planning on sitting at a table or machine to gamble. We didn't see any of the shows offered there but we did go see the thrill rides which are pretty scary and entertaining to watch. Restaurant selection is very mediocre but the Air Bar on the 107th floor is great. If you're just looking for a clean, well priced room close-ish to the Strip, I'd say this was a good option.
