I booked a room at the Stratosphere for Yelp Spring Break, they offered a decent promotion for the yelpers during peak vacation time in May! By the time we checked in on an EARLY Friday morning (1:00am), our room choices were limited. We settled for a room with two beds which gave use more choices for which floor to be on.
Ended up on the 8th floor, which is pool level. It's a bad choice if you want to sleep in because you'll hear constant chatter and slamming doors. The room itself was fine, I only had a few quirks. One was that the location for the towels and the towel holders were in really awkward places (not practical). Another problem was the hairdryer short circuited and we didn't another one in time to use that same morning.
Other than those minor quirks, the hotel was practical. Admission to the Stratosphere tower is free for hotel guests, just bring your room key! The elevator travels at a speed of 35 mph, faster elevator!!!
I will say that I was impressed by a minor power outage on the day we left. Even though the power went out, it remembered how much money was just inserted into the machine before it shut off!
