TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

Have a room that has what looks like blood on a wall. Plus the entire length of the tub tiles is black with dirt. Ash trays in the downstairs are over flowing with butts on the floor. The tis shows dirt from 1 in of tile. I went down to ask about getting it cleaned. They told me to pack my bags come down 21 floors , get a new room then go back up to whatever floor then unpack again.

Food & food service are good. Service related to lodging is wretched! Long lines to check in. No Bell service -- self service push cart available for $20 & photo ID. Key cards/room locks flaky. Went thru 3 separate key sets, each with a long wait at check-in desk. (They don't care if you can't enter your room. Get in line!) In-room amenities sparse. No wash cloths or shower caps. Couldn't buy caps anywhere on property. Final straw: call at 11PM demanding we pack and more to another room. Plumbing work had to be done next door. We refused to move until next day. There was no Bell service to help. Discussion with staff indicate budget shortfall & staff cuts. I assume casino odds also changed in favor of casino. Strat is in death spiral. NOT RECOMMENDED.

The restaurant is very good - pay extra for the revolving section. Nice menu and very nice staff. Really good evening meal and

Here is the updated, polished TripAdvisor-style review with your final line included clearly: ? ????? Excellent Value at The STRAT — Just Expect Extra Fees I booked a package through Expedia, and the overall value was excellent. Even after adding the $56/day in taxes and resort fees (which third-party sites do not include), my round-trip airfare, rental car, and hotel room were still under $1,000. As long as you understand those fees are coming, you can still get a great deal. My interior no-window room was clean, quiet, and perfectly adequate for the price. I slept well, and I didn’t mind the lack of a window or bathtub given what I paid. The STRAT Tower is the main attraction. The view is fantastic, and the $10 guest admission is absolutely worth it. If you sign up for the slot club, they may even comp your tower tickets. The neighborhood is improving, and the location works well for access to both the Strip and downtown. If you plan to hop between other properties, center Strip is more convenient, but for pure value, The STRAT is hard to beat. I enjoyed my stay and would happily return—just be aware of the added fees when booking through Expedia or similar sites.

Stayed for 10 nights, upgraded to a better room for $120 for the 10 nights. Check in was quick and easy. The room was one of the refurbished ones, clean and had a fridge which was handy. Not much of a view, but who goes to Vegas to stare out the window. Only downside is from Circus Circus to the Strat is a very run down area, lots of rubbish and homeless people. We we're approached by a homeless man who was aggressive and asking for money and cigarettes who actually snatched the cigarette from my husbands hand. Unsettling experience, this has put me off staying around this area again.
