Has anyone stayed at the Las Vegas Stratosphere hotel in the past few months?

The rates are cheap and I wanted to make sure it was not going to be a dump. Let me know your reviews before I book!
Thanks

NEVER stay at the stratosphere!! While building the final top part, there was a fire. There isn't a hose in the valley long enough to reach the top. They had to let it burn until other means were untilized. It took 2 hours for a helicopter to come and dump water on it. A couple years ago, there was a mild fire. The fire department reported only about 25% of the sprinklers inside the building properly worked.
Kinda scary!

Do you have to be a customer of the Stratosphere or NY NY Hotels In Vegas to do the activies, like the roller?

coasters and such?

I've been looking into different hotels in Las Vegas, where I'm planning a trip, and all these different hotels look fun and offer different things. So I was wondering if I stayed at one hotel, could I still go to the other hotels and pay for the rides and such, like at the top of the stratosphere? Or do I have to stay there and be a customer? Also, if you happen to know the going rates for the rides that would be great. Thanks!

You can do any of those activities without being a guest. Even the hotel guests have to pay for those rides.

At the Stratosphere, you pay $13.95 to go up the tower ($10 if a guest). With one ride the cost is $19.95, with 2 rides it is $23.95, and with all 3 rides it is $27.95. You can do an all-day ride package for $33.95.

A single ride on the Speed coaster at Sahara is $10 and an all-day pass is $21.95

A single ride on the Manhattan Express at NYNY is $12.50, an additional ride is $6, and an all-day pass is $25.

The Adventuredome at Circus Circus is $24.95 for an all-day pass; otherwise you pay $4-7 for each ride.

Any good restaurants near Stratosphere Hotel & Casino Las Vegas?

I am going on a business trip next week and only have a $60.00 allowance for food per day I figured Vegas is expensive so if anyone could help out with some economical choices to fit my budget that would be great!!!!

First, eating in Vegas is not expensive, since the casinos expect to make money on your gambling, so they practically give away the food.

I recommend picking your favorite meal, then making time to eat that one in comfort. Most casinos have a fast food court,so you can grab a breakfast or lunch sandwich easy enough.

For dinner, I can recommend the "broiler" inside Palace Station on W. Sahara (at Rancho) or head north on main street from the Stratosphere to get to the Fremont street experience. There is a Tony Roma's in the Fremont hotel there.

One last piece of advise: don't bother with coupon books because your have to wait in long lines just to get something "free." It is never worth it.
