Location Sucks, but everything else is pretty good!
I was surprised that I actually liked my stay at the Stratosphere. When Margo and I stayed there, we chose it because it was one of the cheaper hotels on The Strip. I believe you get what you pay for, so my expectations were not high.
But, our room, was clean, comfortable and roomy. Our King bed was comfortable, and we were able to find our way around the hotel pretty quickly. I have heard some horror stories about the older part of the hotel. I believe, but don’t know, that we were in the newer section.
We had decent luck with the slot machines, which makes things better.
The location on the strip does leave quite a bit to be desired. It is way on the northern end, and only technically on The Strip. It is not walking distance to anywhere except The Sahara. Even that is bit much. Also, you don’t want to venture any farther north, at night, on foot. The neighborhood becomes a bit iffy.
As we rented a car, the location did not matter to us. But, if you plan to use your feet as your mode of transportation, I would not recommend this hotel.
