Unless you are staying here it will set you back $16 to get to the observation deck. You can go up to the bar for free, but you are so far away from the windows that I wasn't impressed. The hotel itself is nice, I stayed here for one night a few years ago and thought it was a great deal. Its north of the good stuff on the strip, so don't expect to walk down and see stuff. You'll need a cab or a car.
