Stratosphere Hotel Las Vegas

Stratosphere is located at the North end of the strip and a little inconvenient to get to but it's really just a monorail ride away from the center and so the distance shouldn't be an excuse to pass it up. After all, it has roller coasters on it's rooftop! I was sold on that. And they are awesome. These things throw you off the edge of the tower or up in the air above the rooftop. Awesome. We also had a really good room, simply because of the level it was on. The view was incredible.

Let's face it. Vegas is all about tack. Tack-tack-tacky. And surely we all come to Vegas to embrace it in all its tackiness? We did and we weren't disappointed with Excalibur. Its revolting Castle theme is just brilliant given the context. I mean, where else in the world would this make sense?? The rooms were fine, the pool was fine, it was all fine. The great thing about this place is that it is cheap and central to everything. It links to MGM with a walkway so it's just a hop and a skip to more tackiness and good times.
