The stratoshpere creates mixed feelings in me.... The good: It's mellow, away from the crazy business of the strip, and it's inexpensive. The bad: The dealers are RUDE for the most part, they have a very small selection of beer - which does not include ANY ales or quality beers, and the hotel is quite a distance from the strip. For the price, it was a pretty good deal. It was about a mile to the strip, which we walked. Overall, not bad - if you are not going to be spending much time in your casino or hotel, I would stay here. Rooms were very nice and comfortable. Cheap prices! You gotta give up some luxuries if you want an inexpensive room!
