Stratosphere Hotel Review

You’ll feel like you’re on top of the world—literally—when you’re living the high life at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas. The closest Strip hotel to downtown Vegas, its 1149-foot high Stratosphere Tower offers a breathtaking view of the entire city.

Appearance

Visible from almost any location in Las Vegas, the Tower is what most people associate with this great resort. Once inside, though, guests are treated to amazing food, wild casino action, and dazzling nightly entertainment.

Rooms at the Stratosphere are loaded with luxurious amenities while remaining one of the best deals on the Strip. Not that you’ll stay in your room for long—with a 67,000 square-foot pool area that features private cabanas and a waterfall, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the ultra-luxurious Roni Josef Salon and Day Spa, the Stratosphere has anticipated your every need!

Shopping

Shop-a-holics are covered, too, and can indulgee in over 50 shops and boutiques at the Tower Shops. The Stratosphere, though, is all about the Tower and the view—and the rides.

See the city like you’ve never seen it before from the observation deck of the 109th floor, or go the thrills and chills route with the Big Shot ride, Insanity-The Ride, and X Scream.

Entertainment

Come nighttime, you can take in the always entertaining American Superstars show, featuring dead-on impressions of superstars like Madonna, Elvis, and Britney Spears, or for more adult entertainment, abandon your inhibitions at the erotic topless vampire-themed sensation Bite. After the show, grab a drink at the Stratosphere’s retro-tastic Polly Esther's nightclub, The Crazy Armadillo, or C Bar.

Dining

Dining options at the Stratosphere range from the fifties charm of Roxy's Diner to the Italian specialties of Fellini's at Stratosphere.

Of course, you MUST visit Top of the World and enjoy a meal along with the fabulous 360-degree view of the town.

Other Stratosphere restaurants include The Courtyard Buffet, Lucky's Cafe, NAGA Chinese Express, Mamma Ilardo's, McDonald's, Wetzel's Pretzels, El Nopal Mexican Grill, Ben and Jerry's and Starbucks.

Gambling

All bets are ON at the Stratosphere’s impressive 80,000 square foot casino, with a gaming floor full of all your favorite Slots and table games— Blackjack, Craps, Poker, Roulette, and more. If racing and sports are more your speed, make your wagers over at the 120-seat Race and Sports Book, which features 33 TVs and 24 big screens.
