TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

I have stayed at this location 5 times in the last few years (most recent 8/24 to 8/31/26) so clearly my rating is based on multiple experiences. I stay central tower in an elevate room. I am male, older than 65 for some background. Room: I think they are more than adequate. Clean, nice desk area, large bath, king sized bed, well lit and more than adequate storage for clothing, mini fridge and in room safe. Casino: Good variety of slots for the slot player. Only crapless craps unless playing electronic. Plenty of blackjack tables, however, the number of tables open is clearly dependent on expected crowd size. Dealers are friendly and professional and very helpful for a beginner player. In House Shows: Saw all 3 this trip, Ikons of Rock, Rouge and LA Comedy. Thoroughly enjoyed all. And for those who may think Rouge is a bit too risque for their taste please give this a chance. The show is outstanding and the burlesque part is really secondary to the choreography and performances. I was ready to go see it a second time this trip but will go again next time for sure. Food: Ate exclusively at Strat Cafe for breakfast and PT Wings for lunch/dinner. Never disappointed. And try the steak and potatoes at PT's. It is outstanding and you will not find a steak like that anywhere on the strip for that price. Ask for Veronica. She's the best. People: One reason I keep coming back to this place is the people. Everyone is really nice and welcoming. I would be remiss if I did not mention Alex in the Cafe. What a sweetheart of a woman aside from her professional work ethic. Its like I've known her for ages. And on the casino floor Andrea. I'm a not so "secret" admirer. She is that once in a lifetime person that can make the entire trip pure magic. Kind, funny, hard working (beautiful too, just saying). Tell her Al Capone says "hi" and he misses her already. If for no other reason I would come back to the Strat just to see them. The only downer: Billing this time was a nightmare. Multiple corrections to what I was being charged that required 3 interactions with hotel personnel. I stay at hotels in a lot of different states and I always know what I'm going to pay (including taxes and fees) before I get there. Here is like a big darn mystery. And add to that the resort fees (which are outrageous) its no wonder that Vegas is having trouble drawing traffic. If there is an area that needs improvement billing is it. I gave the place a 5 because I think it deserves it. Is it 5 star hotel, no. But it has everything you need to have a comfortable and enjoyable time. There are people who question the north end of the strip location but I have never encountered any trouble day or night. Personally I prefer being away from the mayhem that is more common central strip. Strat gets something of a bad rap and I have to disagree.

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.
