Stayed at Stratosphere in March 2011 for a total 4 days and 4 nights. Arrived on a Monday a little a head of check-in time. Line was a 5-10 minute and the guy who checked us in was a young guy with a smile on his face. At the time, I hadn't heard of the $20 trick for room upgrades, but I DID slip him a 20 and ask if he could give us free passes to stuff. He said no because he only handled rooms, but he told us to go the concierge and see what he could do. Sure enough, it worked! Left the desk with about 40 passes to all kinds of stuff: shows, clubs, bars, etc. It was a great idea.

The room was nice. The view was terrible as we looked at the parking garage the whole time but you get what you pay for. You're just sleeping there, right? I'd imagaine if you're trying to "wow" any ladies you bring back, you may want to try to upgrade.

I LOVED the casino. The floor had a nice variety of slots and it was one of the only casinos that I saw that had almost ALL table games going throughout the day. Pai Gow poker, etc. don't play all day long at other casinos. I didn't actually PLAY these games but it's nice to klnow that they offer them all day versus some of the higher end casinos. The drinks came non-stop as long as you played so that's always good and they didn't usually take forever to get your drinks either. I'm probably a little biased on this casino though because out of my entire stay I won about $500 playing roulette.

The only thing I could find to not like about this place was the fact that it is THE farthest hotel on the strip. You can walk, but be prepared for at least a 15 minute walk to get even close to the action of the strip.
