We did not stay at the Stratosphere, we booked the New Year's Eve party on 108. Definitely an awesome view point for the fireworks. The food and open bar's were awesome. It was a little too loud for my taste. The entertainment was awesome, beautiful pinup girls. Not enough seeting, seemed a bit over booked to me, had to wait in massive lines to get on the elivators. The staff was very nice just overall we were kind of miserable due to being too crowded. I expected better because of the price you pay.
