Stratosphere Tower, Las Vegas

The rooms were mostly clean, the beds were cool and comfortable. The complimentary soaps and shampoos were terrible on my skin and hair, I don't recommend using them. Service was excellent, all the staff were friendly and accommodating, I have ZERO complaints on staff. They deserve a raise for what they have to deal with... My biggest complaint is against corporate, that the main feature of this hotel is not free to hotel guests who are already paying a $35 per night resort fee. I expected to have to pay extra to ride the rides but not to access that entire top area. Yes, it's $20 to ride the elevator to the top, a fact conveniently left off their website. After 2 days there, I was notified by text that it was $5 for hotel guests. I'd recommend to those on a tight budget, because for what I paid, it was pretty good. If you're looking for flat out luxury and decadence, this isn't the place. But if you want a clean, comfortable, secure room to relax after a day of walking the Strip in 100° heat, I would recommend for that. Oh, and I didn't try out the pools, but they have two, one for everyone (only open 10-5) and a top-optional, 21+ pool that's open 24 hours a day.

Liked the view from atop. The bungee jump thing looked cool but it was more guided vs. what a thrill seeker may find to be worth it. The gift shop inside the sky pod area has some cute gifts and I liked the sofa seating area so you can hang out and watch the sunset. I didn’t do the spin ride but that one looked nauseating when being up close and watching others spin on it. I really enjoyed the casino near it and it has to be my favorite so far in Vegas after going to at least 4 others.
