I reserved my room and requested and upgrade was told over the phone they could upgrade when I got there it was a different story. I and my sister have a heart condition and they had no belle service as well as we couldn't even get a bell cart ourselves to do it! Then we get in the room and had a baby in tow and the fridge was broke no microwaves. The first night we were woke up by screaming and a hooker and guy fighting. The kids pool was closed and the parking was 25 a day. Next, apparently they put us in a smoking tower and it was such a harsh marijuana smell. Over all it was such a nasty hotel to stay in I Don't recommend it at all! Period upon calling front desk everyone was rude. Only, staff that was courteous was valet and housekeeping. Please Don't even bother giving them your business so not worth it. Starbucks was 5 dollars higher then anywhere else. Just not worth it!

Ridiculous parking Fees. $23 for 20 minutes! I will NEVER go there again! And they wonder why no one goes there!

The Hotel is at the northern end of the strip in Las Vegas. I've been coming here for decades I can't explain why I keep returning here as it appears to be going downhill more and more. The room is clean and tidy as is the bathroom although it had a minor plumbing issue and the bed was comfortable. The room had a view of the strip. It had a fridge and a coffee maker, no microwave I was told that they were not in any of the rooms due to a perceived fire threat. There are only two food takeaways places in the building. Previous shopping Centre & Arcade has been removed some time ago and blocked off. One shop remains but was closed through the period I was there. The hotel advertises and boasts about cheap accommodation, but when all surcharges and other hidden costs are added it becomes very expensive. Things that were complimentary in the past for guests are now charged for such as car parking (not cheap) entry to the tower, reasonable Wi-Fi. full price charged for shows. The swimming pool is closed for most of the week, open only on Fri Sat, Sun, there was another pool on the 24th floor however, suitable only for adults. Access to elevators within the complex requires different access cards to each. The variety shows are somewhat dated and needs to be updated.

We chose this hotel because we liked it three years ago on a group trip. We really liked the adults only pool (Wet 24) last time. Wet 24 is almost totally closed now. Even on weekends, it's only open for a few hours. The regular pool wasn't crowded but there are just too many kids there. Vegas needs adult spaces. The rest of the place was ok. We will be seeking a hotel with dedicated adult only space on our next trip.

Paud to visit the viewing deck of the Stratosphere (or Strat as it is now called). Easy to get to via heading north on the ‘Deuce’. Cost us about $80 total for 4 to go up, then realised that they do much cheaper deals later in the afternoon!. Well worth going up just for the views and to see people do the bungee jumping. There is also a higher outdoor deck but when we went up one of the rides was not working. Bar is quite expensive and it would make it more interesting if there was some sort of display sharing the history of the stratosphere- the only bit of information I saw was one wall with smaller towers as a comparison. Would be good to find out more about how it was built, when etc
