Smelly, old rooms.....
My friend's friend told us we could bunk with him since we were taking a super last minute trip to sin city. We were under the impression it would be somewhere cheap, but decent like Tropicana or TI. Apparently he got the cheap part down, but def. bombed on the decent part when he told us it was the stratosphere. It was too late to book a room somewhere else without putting a dent in our wallets, so thought ok how bad can this place be? Now I can see why I always see cheap deals as low as 40 bucks for these rooms..
Room smelled like a mixture of stale cigarettes, mold, and funky butt. The sheets were all pilled and I don't even want to think about if they were clean or not. The decor is old and outdated, carpet looked nasty. The hotel and casino in general is really old. Our view sucked, yay the parking garage. Located on the BFE part of the strip, so far from anything good.
Stratosphere would be promising if they at least revamped it. Even Imperial palace is much better since they cleaned up that place and did some remodeling.
