Super quick review:
-Snagged this place for $54 on Hotwire for the Friday of Halloween weekend. There's also an additional $7.50 resort fee.
-We were in the Select tower which has their remodeled rooms. The rooms were new, nice, clean, and modern. First impressions of Stratosphere are usually "ugh, it's the old hotel that's on the far side of the strip". If you can get a remodeled room, it's actually quite nice.
-Guests get free admission to the tower which was a nice little bonus. I wished we got a chance to go up the tower at night, but we arrived too late. The daytime tour was OK.
Overall, we were very pleased with the price we paid Halloween weekend and the fact that we got a remodeled room. Yes, it's a bit far from the lively center of the strip, but that didn't matter to us.
