With all the excitement of seeing the views and riding the rollercoasters at the top of the Stratosphere Vegas tower, people often forget that they can also stay in the Stratosphere Casino Hotel.

The Stratosphere is positioned right at the top end of the strip, so it’s not in the hub of the main Strip activity, which accounts for the favorable rates you can enjoy there. But, don’t think you are going to be left out of the excitement of Vegas; the Stratosphere is ideally situated to be within easy reach of both the main Strip and downtown Vegas. From your base at the Stratosphere Vegas you can enjoy the best of the old and new Sin City. Experience the glitz and glamour of newer casinos such as the Venetian, MGM Grand and Caesar’s Palace, or take a walk through the old town and see the Golden Nugget, Lady Luck and the Fremont Hotel.

Transport is excellent from the Stratosphere too, with the Monorail starting at the nearby Sahara casino and buses running regularly along the Strip. During the day both the main Strip and Downtown Vegas are a short walk away (although it’s not recommended to walk around the area at night).

You could stay at the Stratosphere Vegas and never even leave its walls. The Stratosphere Tower Casino and Hotel has everything a Vegas visitor could ask for. As well as the famous tower, offering the best views of Vegas and the most exiting thrill rides in town, the casino offers all the gambling choices you would expect in Las Vegas in 80,000 square feet of tables and slots, as well as a poker room with daily tournaments.

For eats there are a variety of cafes and restaurants to choose from: Fellini’s Ristorante Italiano, Hamada Asian Village, and Roxy’s diner, to name but a few. Plus, there’s the Top of the World restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious meal with the best views in the city as you revolve a full 360 degrees at 800 feet above the ground (voted “Best Gourmet Room” by a reader poll in the Las Vegas Review-Journal).

Entertainment is taken care of in the Theater of the Stars as well as a number of clubs, bars, and lounges offering live music, the American Superstars show, and two risqué revue shows. Or you can relax next to one of the two swimming pools, workout in the indoor or outdoor fitness centers, get pampered in the Roni Josef Spa and Salon or shop in the mall.

The Stratosphere Vegas has everything a visitor to Las Vegas could want. They offer great value to all their visitors and make sure they continue to compete with the hotels on the main strip through regular renovations and excellent prices. Not to mention they have the benefit of being a part of the most famous landmark in town.

Check out this video of the Big Shot ride at the top of the Stratosphere Vegas. There’s a bit of a wait for the ride to start but it’s worth waiting for. And the video of the view around the tower is lovely.

Ans: My husband and I stayed there on our honeymoon. We had a great time. I cant think of anything bad to say about the hotel. It is at one end of the strip so it is great to get out and walk up and down the strip. You don’t have to decide on which way to go. The have great shops and places to eat and if you gamble look for the Twilight Zone slot machine. It is loose. We won a lot of money off of that machine. When you walk in the doors go to the left and it is over in that direction.

You may not realize it, but there is a bus stop right between the Four Queens and the Golden Nugget. You can get to mid-strip in about the same amount of time (20 minutes) it takes to ride the Deuce from the Stratosphere to Fahion Valley.

DOWNTOWN TO STRIP
If you are going from downtown to the strip catch the bus on Casino Center Blvd. just south of Golden Nugget porte cochere (walk between the Golden Nugget and the Four Queens). This bus stop is the same one used by the shuttle to Premium Outlet Mall. This leg is probably the MOST EFFECTIVE one to use the bus on. All the tourists get on the Deuce at one single stop at Las Vegas Blvd & Fremont three blocks away while the #116 bus leaves half empty. Route #116 could save you 45 minutes of waiting in line for the Deuce . As of this writing the evening buses leave at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00 from the transit center.

STRIP TO DOWNTOWN
On the way from the strip to downtown, board the bus on Sands Blvd on the north side of the street by the Nieman Marcus (across from Treasure Island). Get off the bus when you can see casinos on 4th and Fremont Street. Deuce riders disembark at the same place.
