To be honest, Stratosphere wasn't my top choice to stay at Las Vegas, but it's a good deal if you want save some money ($44 a person for two nights). The casino is somewhat cheesy and smaller than those mega resorts like the MGM Grand or the Venetian, which I liked because I didn't had to walk forever to our hotel room.
We came here for a bachelorette party very early in the morning and our rooms weren't ready. We asked for 2 adjoining rooms, which is why it may of taken so long. Didn't get our rooms until 3pm. So we just went to the buffet and lounged by the pool. My friend said that their pool is very salty. She found out when this kid kept splashing water onto her. We managed to score some shade and the sun was very intense that day. I had to go back and forth between the shade and sun. The rooms were clean and enough space for everyone. Although our view sucked - parking garage and pipes. I didn't really care though.
This place isn't packed with young people, so we definitely turned heads in our sexy dresses on our way out for a night of partying. The only downside to this place is that its location. You definitely need a cab if you want to the Venetian or Mirage.
