    havent stayed in the hotel but been to the top of the world restaurant, Great view there is better places to get food though. As far as location I think you would be better off staying at the Flamingo

    Agree with most of the above posters... not a good location at all. You'll be off the strip and in a bad part of town. Stay elsewhere.

    Avoid like the plague- too far at the top end of the Strip.

    Tons of room deals in Vegas now- even the nicer properties can be done on a tight budget.

    Low end of the upper tier (all great location)- MGM, NYNY, Planet Hollywood, TI, Harrahs, Ballys, Monte Carlo

    I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a good thing about the Stratosphere.

    I stayed there once for one night and would not stay there again. Room was fine, but the location leaves alot to be desired. It is quite isolated and I definately would not walk anywhere outside the hotel after dark. Hell I didn't feel safe during the day there.

    If you're looking to stay on the cheap look at the IP, Flamingo, Ballys or maybe the Excalibur. At least those are close to the other casinos.

    this, I had a room at bally's looking down at the strip/bellagio fountains a couple years ago, was pretty sweet for the 20 mins or so all week i spent in there. The strat's just too far away from everything else to really be viable here.

    Stay at flamingo you are in he middle of everything and the cost isn't bad. aAlso get a total rewards card while there and only "gamble" at harrahs properties and your next stay will be next to nothing. Harrahs has the best room comps. I barley play the pits, maybe 1-2 hours of Pai gow/night, and I just booked 6 nights at the beginning of June for $106 total.

    I've stayed at a few places and Flamingo is the best bang for your buck by far....

    Not only is it center of the strip but you get this too...

    My new favorite place is the Gold Coast, location is obv. not perfect (it's right next to Rio) but they have a free shuttle to basically the center of the strip that runs often enough. The value/price of the rooms can't be beat though.

    I agree with this guy. The liquor store at the GC is the tits.

    strat sucks, flaming-0 is for fags. the GO rooms might be the gayest hotel rooms in the world. I like the IP because it doesnt pretend to be something its not, its a shithole and they know it. Id go with the GC or IP if you are on a tight budget

    Apparently you have never partied in the pool area during the day...they got some wicked poolside parties, with tons of chicks....maybe you shouldn't have gone back to that Greek guys GO room, you wouldn't think it so gay then..

    i have stayed there a few times. It is about a $15 cab ride to any of the newer central part of the strip casinos. the rates are pretty cheap, the casino itself is not much to mention although the restaurant in the stratosphere is good.
