The hotel overall is a DECENT place to stay considering the remarkable (very CHEAP) price we paid for the whole weekend. \n\n***FYI: If you're all fancy and stuff and are expecting MORE....this is NOT the place for you...BUT, if you're a baller on a budget...you might like this place.\n\nSince my fianc\u00E9 and I stayed at the newly remodeled rooms, the self-parking garage is easily located near the exit which was very convenient. Like everyone said, the surrounding area is very HOOD...Don't walk around outside when it's dark!!! I like the fact that it was far from the strip and navigating around town made it easy to take the back streets. \n\nChecking in/out was easy; there's no lines. The employees at Stratosphere were very helpful and courteous. Regarding the remodeled rooms: the king size bed was okay; it could be better by making it softer. We definitely found the bathroom to be spacious, and the jacuzzi tub was awesome! \n\nGambling was fun, not so crowded which I definitely liked. We were able to go to the top of the tower and we got to see the magnificent view. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay (Seriously, it's not that BAD) and I would definitely come back again."^^ .
