Rate Vegas

This was my second trip to Las Vegas, NV in 2005 for a Star Trek Convention. Upon check-in at the Stratosphere they didn't have my reservation made throught Vegas.com. I went ahead and gave them my confirmation number that was given to me via the Vegas.com web site. Once it was found I was off to my room. (There was no waiting and the staff was friendly.) My room was perfect. No smells or stains found in my room. Had a nice view of Carls Jr. throught my window. The food at the Stratosphere was pretty good. I've tried Italian, their buffett, Starbucks, and McDonalds. The buffett was good, however, the prime rib was tuff and dry even with the auju. I suppose all buffett prime ribs at the casinos are that way because of the rush cooking they have for the customers. Another complaint I have was collecting casino chips. The first time I went to the cage I requested 10 1 dollar chips. The second time they told me I had to go to a table to make the exchange. What happen to customer service? Overall I had a great time at the Stratosphere. I definately would return to the Stratosphere.
